India’s 5th Gen AMCA Project all set to go Offical

. . . . .
India doesn't have its own wind tunnels to carry out aerodynamic studies on the AMCA and has to rely on the Americans for such basic yet vital tests? 。

Bring it onnnn.:-)
Unrealistic time frame has been set for the 5th gen plane.although official induction is date is 2025 :mad:it would be miracle for ADA to induct in 2030:chilli:

Post 2025. The ADA did says that its hope is for the AMCA Project maturing in the next 15 years.

Can be very well possible. Indians hate to immerse their hands in the dirty and frustrating part of R&D and just want doles in form of ToT.

As a start it is fine but decades after decades harping on ToT makes u sound idiotic.

Agni Series, PSLV etc are result of R&D.

We have, in many cases, built complex systems from scratch.

How do you think ISRO which began with 10 KG Rockets ended up with 415 Ton Monster like GSLV Mk II with indigenous Cryo Engine?

Yes, wherever investments in resources and capital was made, benefits followed. But those are far and few in-between.

How about the more generic ones ? Like Failing to come up with a robust artillery till late but having a SSBN ? Or say not having an in-house CIWS but commanding a Aircraft carrier for decades ?

Those are glaring fails which repeatedly have been glossed over and shows decades of visionless growth in general.

Claiming to have an advanced ABM system (under tests) but not having a single VSHORAD or QRSAM ?

AMCA won't see the kind of delays LCA saw although its going to be build by same agencies. IAF is showing interest in the project.

You can easily make it fly by 2020 but inducting it in 2025 is very difficult.

The only thing that can save this is concurrent engineering,
Let HAL work on Airframe/Landing Gear, Servos and Hydraulics. Ground systems

ADA- Scaled testing for composites, Static and Dynamic testing, Radar reflection testing, Avionics, Cable trays and Harnesses, Mission Computer, Harmonics and vibration testing,

DRDO-LRDE- AESA Radar-interferometry/ Rear facing transmitter module/SPS/Jammer

GTRE - Turbofan Engine

NPO-Saturn- Backup Turbofan Engine

Don't forget IAF - Project Manager.
