India's Regional Jet To Have Turboprop & Turbofan Variants

[Chanakyaa]

If India manages to produce a safe turboprop commercial airliner, I'd at least have no problem in Pakistan buying a bunch of these. To heck with expensive ATRs.

Just make it safe. I'm not sure about NAL's ability in mass producing this within the next decade either.

Good Point.

Sir, why Just be limited to Airlines... May god Bless us all and Both Nations make a well Balanced High Quantity Trade Relations in almost every sector.

I think a strong collaboration (if it was possible) early on could open other possibilities- like servicing/ component production or maintainance contracts....if only our relations were that open....

The baboos running the NAL are daydreamers who come up with fantastic projects when they can't even complete and deliver the ones in hand. These clowns should take due diligence about their true capabilities before embarking on other projects.

What have they done about SARAS? Their indifference,, irresponsiblity and incompetence led to the death of two test pilots. Have they come clean about that avoidable mishap? Was anyone at NAL made an example of for that unwarranted tragedy?

Now they are coming up with newer aircrafts when the country is still struggling with other projects involving aircrafts.

Why can't these over zealous baboos come up with a decent, workable trainer aircraft for the IAF?

Dude it might be argued that the problems with NAL are not NAL's issues alone...all oversight teams for scientific institutions in India have been extremely shoddy in the way they have funded critical projects. SARAS for instance never really got the funding it needed, it was released in tranches and it's important for stuff like safety consultancies etc. The RTA program isn't exactly a wild new vision- it's very contemporary technology. I wouldn't call it 'fantastic' in any sense of the word.
