Aero India 2011 will be much bigger than previous one since more than 300 foreign companies will participating since Indian Air force and Indian military has been in shopping sphere to induct newer aircrafts in their fleet .

Lockheed Martin will be bringing UAE F-16 Block 60 to Aero India Again along with F-35 simulator. Nothing much is expected new from the Boeing and Russian front rather than bringing Super Hornet and Mig-35. this is make or break deal for many since short listing of vendors and their machine will began soon after Aero India is over, so keep your eyes and ears open to get lot of inside information and rumors regarding the tender, idrw.org also be will closely monitoring the whole buzz before final results so stay with us. In the Helicopter front we expect LCH-2 along with LCH-1 will be present in Aero India, regarding LCH-2 we have been informed will have its first flight before Aero India and will have additional sensors and other weapons package to carry weapons testing through the year, remember first aircraft was built to test the flight characteristics of the aircraft, Dhruv WSI has already carried out many of the weapons testing for Weaponised Dhruv variant and also for LCH Program, there also will be HAL ’s light observation helicopter (LOH ) Mock up and we might be also able to see smaller models of HAL ’s Proposed 10 tonne helicopter in lines of Mi-17V Currently operated by our Armed forces . Unmanned aircrafts will be dominated by Indian Male UAV ’s along with other variants also making its debut, Europeans will also be bringing some UAV ’s from their counters and we expect Mantis to be there to. Presentation and seminar on India’s Unmanned and Combat Unmanned aircraft (Aura) is expected. On Tejas Mk-2 front we expect some models or at least CAD images of the jet to be shown in the show, along with the AMCA wind tunnel model which was presented in previous airshow too.

Hmmm Russians are aware that they are out of MMRCA contest...
When the results are announced this year there wont be any companies joining Aero-India... so Aero - India will be only showcasing Indian products from Next year...

 

[angeldemon_007]

F-16 looking for celebrity

BANGALORE: The Americans
have set their marketing
wheels on motion again.
Lockheed Martin has launched
a search for "the right
celebrity" to match the power and style of its aircraft F-16IN
Super Viper, that is flying in
February's Aero India show. Lockheed is confident of
finalizing the celebrity by the
first week of February. "We
should finalize the personality
just ahead of the air show,"
Lockheed representatives told TOI on Monday. The US has been trying every
window of opportunity to
market the F-16 in India. It has
offered rides to Indian
celebrities in the 2007 and
2009 air shows. While Ratan Tata flew the aircraft in 2007,
Abhinav Bindra did the 2009
flight. A Delhi-based journalist
was the first Indian woman to
fly the F-16IN in 2009. This year, the US is looking
forward to a grand flight in the
show, after which India will
decide on the purchase of 126
fighters among six aircraft,
including the F-16IN, that it has tested. MARKETING WITH A BANG The US is the first western
nation to market its fighter
planes through strategies like
celebrity rides, permitting easy
access to its fighters and
simulators. People were pleasantly shocked in 2007
when the US chose to fly celebs
in its fighter aircraft -- that too
when it was believed that the
F-16 would not enter India,
following its supposed success during the Gulf war. FOR THE FEEL OF IT Like in 2009, this year too,
Lockheed will permit select
persons to fly the F-16
simulator that will be installed
either at the air show venue or
at a star hotel. A ride has also been planned on the US C-130J
transport aircraft. India has
purchased six of these.

^^ This article reminds me of the days when Britain denied us the Tornado and we had to settle for Jaguar..
Even 15 years back if any indian had talked about procuring these kinds of weapons , he would have been laughed at..15 years is enough to change perception about a country it seems..

LCA Navy, A330 MRTT To Debut In Aero India-2011​

Chindits: LCA Navy, A330 MRTT To Debut In Aero India-2011

 

[sancho]

For MRH HELICOPTER, MBDA is offering MARTE ER. Marte ER has already been integrated and qualified on the medium-range NH90 helicopter. Marte ER adds a turbo-engine motor that takes the missile’s range out to over 100km. With India actively looking for a MRH (medium range helicopter) capabilities, Marte ER should be a major talking point during the show.

Interesting infos on their website as well;

In addition to these, a new, fixed wing air-launched version, MARTE MK2S-A, has been added to the family: For each platform and for each Marte system the same missile is used. Navies operating medium naval helicopters such as the NH-90 or the AW101 will therefore be able to maintain a common stock of missiles for deployment from both their helicopters and from their ships and air forces will similarly be able to equip their LCA (light combat aircraft) with the same missile.
