India's ASTRA BVRAAM Successfully Testfired From IAF Flanker

[Omega007]

Turobofan's usually are rated for peak power at a certain rpm, the engine used in Nirbhay is a derivative by NPO saturn/raduga okb with lower fuel curve, the challenge was to change the suction port manifold to increase volumetric efficiency of the system, with a smaller combustion chamber for the Nirbhay. This engine I suspect was re-engineered russian engine. So I guess both of you are partly correct.

In which field you work in dude??

I am a glorified mechanic

Congrats guys !!!

Looks awesome

So the rocket motor is developed by DRDO ???

Yes ,except RF seeker all are ours .

Why Import a seeker which operates in the terminal phase and thus very likely to be subjected to countermeasures ???

Come-on man,no kidding..........really,it seems like you are an engineer.Which field??And were you born in India or born and bred in US??Just curious......you know,I like to know about people.

glorified mechanic would be an engineer only

 

[ganimi kawa]

but a cruise missile is quiet and stealthy?

Yep! But the blast at the end is not!

Of course,but I asked which field??But it's upto him to decide to answer or not.

since @Dillinger is confident that its home grown,lets not rush to a conclusion so early

And all u haters who want to kill me by shocking me.................u will not succeed

@Dillinger

This is just a development stage once drdo get ToT with further R&D they will develop our own seeker

Can PTAE-7 fit Nirbhay? Thrust and speed in the range. Only size is unknown! !
