Technology Demonstrator-4 (TD-4) of Light Combat Helicopter is now flying. You can notice the "TRISHUL" sign on the chopper. Earlier TD had a "TIGER" mark or were painted in different camo.
With more TD's, HAL will be able to get its IOC within timeframe

Post this article in the proper LCH sticky thread, rather than posting into another new thread brother.
 
What are details? Ceiling payload, range, speed?
 
Water car engineer posted it long ago...:-)


Yes, this is months old.

You can see TD3 on the lower, left.

The top could be TD4.

Has all frame changes first shown in TD3, has a new camo scheme. Like a trident design running though.

Light Combat Helicopter (LCH) was proposed to meet IAF’s requirement of a dedicated light helicopter for combat operations. LCH will have maximum possible commonality with ALH. LCH with a narrow fuselage will have pilot and co-pilot/gunner in tandem configuration incorporating a number of stealth features, Armour protection, Night attack capability and crash worthy landing gear for better survivability. The major features of LCH are:

  • Glass Cockpit
  • Crash worthy under floor structure
  • Crash worthy fixed tricycle type with tail wheel landing gear
  • Canted flat panels for low Radar Cross Section
  • Integrated Dynamic System
  • Hinge less Main Rotor / Bearing less Tail Rotor
  • Anti Resonance isolation system
  • Integrated Avionics and Display System (IADS)
  • IR Suppressor
  • 20mm Gun, Rocket & Missiles
Technical Parameters
  • MTOW: 5.5 t
  • Max. speed: 265 Kmph
  • Range: 550 Km
  • Service Ceiling: 6.5 km
  • Climb rate: 5 m/s
Power Plant
  • SHAKTI engine (2 no.)
  • Power is 895 kW

I don't know that. I quoted it from HAL's website
If that was the case why didn't they updated it?
