EJ 200 is selected?
India's Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) has decided to rope in European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS) to speed up the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) programme which is running behind schedule.
As per reports from ' The Hindu ' EADS has been also given task of redesigning of the undercarriage of LCA and even Redesigning the Landing gear possible to make way for the integration of the Eurojet EJ200 turbofan Jet engine which is used as the powerplant of the Eurofighter Typhoon.
ADA earlier had talks with Boeing to Help reduce Test flights and bring in their expertise to to get the final operational clearance for the LCA Tejas by 2012 .but the deal did not make way has Boeing came up with some clauses which where not acceptable to ADA or Tejas Program in general
Boeing Droped and EAD Brought in to speed up Tejas programme www.idrw.org / Indian Defense Research Wing

atleast we are not ruled by dictator communists that everybody hates . the only countries which are your friends need you .and talking about economies . the way our economy has withstood the recession is just gr8 it has been accepted worldwide unlike urs . if usa even sneezes ur econmy catches colddude, I have been hearing such claims a lot of times in the past several years and I have to admit the effectives of the "service based" economy.
when I was talking to some Indians about the lack of infrastructures in India, I was told that "our economy is service based", so no needs to have so many roads/ports.
when I was talking to some Indians about the lack of educational investment in India, I was told "our economy is service based".

EADS To Aid Flight Trials of Indian LCA
Author: idrw team | 28 January 2009 | Views: 6

The Indian Defence Ministry has short-listed EADS on a $20 million contract to aid in the flight trials of the indigenous Light Combat Aircraft (LCA). The deal is expected to be signed during Aero India 2009, from Feb. 11-14 at Bangalore, said a senior Defence Ministry official.
India's Aeronautical Development Agency, which designed, developed and monitors the LCA, had sought overseas partners to carry out design-and-development work in the flight-testing stage. The consulting company would help speed the flight testing through initial operational clearance and final operational clearance.
Technical and commercial bids had been invited from EADS, Saab of Sweden, Dassault of France, Boeing and Lockheed Martin of the United States, and MiG Corp. of Russia.
LCA development areas that EADS would aid include flight envelope expansion; flight testing for high angle of attack; aero database validation; external stores carriage with emphasis on stores separation modeling and testing; wake modeling and penetration flight tests; and refinements to existing simulation models.
LCA is preparing to enter into the weapon-integration stage, and the first aircraft are expected to be inducted into the Air Force by 2010, nearly 15 years behind schedule.
The Air Force has ordered 20 LCAs valued at more than $500 million. State-owned Hindustan Aeronautics is expected to roll out eight aircraft annually. The aim of the current flight trial program is to achieve initial operational clearance with the multimode radar integrated with a weapon suite. It could take three years and about 1,500 hours of flight testing to move into final operational clearance.
Eight limited series production aircraft, along with two technical demonstrators and five prototypes, are part of the LCA's design-and-development program.
The LCA is a single-seat, single-engine, supersonic multirole air superiority fighter jet designed for air-to-air, air-to-ground and air-to-sea combat roles.

hi guies
Some thought about Kaveri and its supercruise capability.
GTRE GTX-35VS Kaveri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It say's if kaveri can generate a overall pressure ratio of 27:1 then it can supercruise.
Now for overall pressure ratio:
Overall pressure ratio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There is calculation below link, it indicate 27:1 ratio can generate very high temperature which can damage engin blades,see in the disadvantage of ratio.
That's why GTRE go for Single crystal SC technology.
Now,if we get these technolgy or consultancy from EADS then definitely it can boost Kaveri programme.
Pressure Ratio-
EJ2000: 26:1
F414:30:1
Kaveri:21:1

Are you sure we don't have technology? check this
http://www.drdo.org/pub/nl/oct05/
http://www.midhani.com/downloads/anlrep0506-en.pdf
I think you heard about that Kavery have 90-93 % of performance.
That means if we have SC technology then it need improvement Because it unable to take temperature of the pressure ratio of 27:1.
And EADS can help GTRE to achieve full perfoemance.

India boosts arms modernisation after Mumbai - International Herald Tribune
India is speeding a nearly $1 billion (704 million pounds) domestic weapons development programme to modernise its armed forces, the defence research department said on Thursday, following renewed tensions with Pakistan over the attacks in Mumbai.
The plans include inducting 124 main battle tanks for the Indian army by December, the first of a batch of locally-made combat aircraft for the navy also by the end of the year, and unmaned aerial vehicles to boost border surveillance.
"There is a certain push now to complete projects on time and deliver the goods for low intensity battles or to counter bigger security threats in the region," Suranjan Pal, a spokesman of the government-run Defence Research and Development Organisation, said.
Tensions between India and Pakistan mounted after the attacks in Mumbai in November, which New Delhi said were carried out by Pakistani nationals and must have had support from Pakistani state agencies.
Since the Mumbai attacks, local media has highlighted the many antiquated weapons system that India has, from artillery to tanks, and poor surveillance capabilities.
"India's military capability had been shrinking as modernisation efforts were moving very slowly, but now there is more interest being shown," C. Uday Bhaskar, a strategic affairs expert, said.
The modernisation plans include developing the Agni-5 missile, capable of carrying a nuclear warhead and hitting targets 5,000 km (3,100 miles) away, and torpedoes and planes for the navy.
India is also one of the world's biggest arms importers, but government officials and experts said the priority was to boost indigenous capacity and reduce reliance on foreign suppliers.
"Foreign countries are generally not interested in sharing critical technology with us, so we are pushing more for indigenous development," Pal said.
The DRDO has often been criticised in the past by experts for delays on key projects, including the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) and an Airborne Early Warning and Control System (AWACS).
The naval version of the LCA will enter service in December this year (VDM) while the air force will get 20 planes next year. The aircraft is a supersonic, all-weather fighter which has been under development for more than two decades.

DRDO ropes in European consortium for light combat aircraft
http://www.defensenews.com/story.php?i=3922101&c=AIR&s=TOP
So much for the indegenous LCA.
Anyhow, this news clearly shows that LCA is still a paper plane.
It also clarify that LCA lags far behind any 3rd generation fighter jet in specifications at least when it comes to angle of attack.
I expect drastic changes in airframe.

Recession comes as refreshing change for LCA project
Global recession comes as refreshing change for indigenous LCA project
New Delhi, Feb 01: The global meltdown has come as a blessing in disguise for the country's indigenous fighter aircraft development programme -- Light Combat Aircraft (LCA).
Unable to retain its flock due to the Information Technology (IT) boom in the past, India's premier Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) believes that recession will help complete its LCA programme in time.
"After recessionary trends in the economy, we are not losing men to the IT industry, which will help our efforts to complete the programme in time," ADA Director P S Subrahmanyam said here.
On the exodus of LCA programme team members to IT industries in early part of the decade, Subrahmanyam said, "The LCA team comprises 350 members and in last five years more than 150 of them left for greener pastures."
After the global economy started to slowdown, former members of the LCA team have started approaching DRDO to work on the indigenous aircraft development programme.
"I am getting feelers from people who had left us then and joined companies such as Wipro, Satyam, Infosys and other major IT companies that they again want to join the prestigious programme," Subrahmanyam said.
