Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) News and Discussion

We need to push for more MSME/Startup culture in deep tech,bring IISC and existing IIT to top 100 in world, increase more Tier 2 Engineering COlleges like NIT and bring them to todays IIT Bombay IISC Standard. Their no other way, without proper academia their no industry. Taiwan smaller than most states in India have more world class universities than all of India
 
India should not copy western design, even if it's homegrown..

For example, Tejas nose cone kevlar can totally permeate mmw radar signals.. think about regular aerodynamic shaped skins nade of it, and internal layer (say lightweight thin zigzaged copper filaments) at desired shape reflection 45* angle) would result in better stealth
 
One of the main reasons for the closure of the plant was the high level of pollution and contamination around the area. In the end they have made significant improvement in reducing the pollution levels but now those same people who were protesting to close it are now protesting to open the plant again as most of the people have no jobs.

The uneducated or poorly educated people are easily misled and react to gossip and rumours rather than clear and well reasoned facts and evidence. The main reason for the high pollution level was down to dust and vehicle emissions as the pollution levels still remained at similar levels even when the factory was operating

The private sector would need to invest a huge amount of money to open a factory and refineries which is expensive as existing government facilities already operate on a large scale. Another issue is that they would need to meet the pollution requirements which changes state to state and then you have legal or court cases on whether the centre or state has jurisdiction in deciding the appropriate pollution levels.
All those are fake stories. If it was any to do with pollution, why did NGT nod for expansion program ? NGT even permitted to reopen the plant.
All the protest was from Christian lobby, 20000 people marched from Snow shine Basilica to ghero the collectorate.
 
Junior Ambani was lobbying for the privatisation of HAL. Manufacturing of sub systems by private companies has increased the cost of Tejas.
On the contrary it has drastically cut down the man hours and thus has compelled HAL to start quoting realistic price estimates. What it did indeed cut down was HAL ability to fleece the government by quoting absurd prices for their aircraft.
 
are you mentally ill???how can anyone defend HAL??

TUrkey is flying KAAn
TAI has been given far more operational freedom than HAL ever was. Turkey started funding Kaan from 2016 and in 7 years they delivered a prototype.

A major part of R&D in India is struck with DRDO ADA, some subsystems are with NAL. Finally design refining, prototyping and manufacturing is with HAL. Groups of people not in regular contact need to get the job done, which obviously causes delay. Why is it that HAL never disappoints in license manufacturing and only in indigenous products? It is precisely because in license manufacturing, HAL is the only party involved with suppliers whereas in indigenous products, HAL is dependant on a whole set of people who think that they are in the lead.

If you believe that HAL also prints money then I have nothing more to say.
 
Go and read Snakes in Ganga by Rajeev Malhotra, whom these dalas of Cronies funding in west, [Hint It is not good for our Nation].
I am for privatization , but letting MSME/STartups lead the charge instead of Cronies, allow PSUs act as
final assembler for large project.

look at New Space, AstraMicrowave , AgniKul,Ethereal Machine and i can continue.
It is only HMT and startup Ethereal Machine who make 5 Axis Machine tools in India,
where Tatas were sleeping?
What u saying dude, in fact I personally know atleast two private sector enterprises producing 5 axis milling machines. One is in Peeniya, whike the other is based in Gujrat.
 
This seems like a good idea and beneficial to all. If a private company wants the deal and start production then they have to make expensive land acquisition costs, setting up production lines, buying the correct machinery, setup facilities etc which costs a lot before they even make the first jet.

If the private company only has to build new production lines, facilities, modify any buildings then they don't have to make any expensive land purchases as they can use and setup whatever they need to do on HALs existing land along with their existing buildings or facilities. After that then the private company can focus on manufacturing and producing the jets rather than having HAL involved in the process at all except with providing the engines which they can manufacture.
 
HAL chief’s own public admission. And no, it wasn’t on comma. They approved it in under a year(AMCA).
Similar ADMISSIONS are available on other things too- thing is that they actually never get real....just like AMCA project director fantasying about rollout of AMCA before 2029.

It was on comma...CDR was completed a while ago...files for CCS approval have been given a long ago....still more than 1/2 year delay.
 
The entire blame for Mk2 lies with HAL. Funds were granted in 2020 as per HAL chief and they blew it all and went back with a bowl to CCS for more funds. No delay was there due to engine issue either. HAL just burned 1000s of crores as per HAL chief.
When was funds granted!? Show me the official proof, not a statement of someone but official news by GOI.

The NGT allowed it to reopen but then the Supreme Court shut it again until they hear the matter on the pollution levels and contamination. Also it was the company which wanted to open a second plant but again plans are upheld until the Supreme Court dispose the matter.

Also your right about the local people being misled and lied to by local politicians and religious groups from priests and imams. Now those who participated in the protests are asking to reopen the refinery as they hardly have any income or jobs.

No where Peeniya website say their own design , they say distributor and importer.

Ethereal and HMT make own design

There is another company don't recall the name but had an opportunity to interact with one of their representatives few years back. But any way there are more than one company that manufacturers 5- axis milling machine in Gujrat. There is one in Surat Laxmi machine tools that also manufacturers them while there another in Pune.
 
And that exactly is the strength of private sector/capitalism. Profits. Give them profit and they will do anything for you. If you want them to work for free, then you will get DPSU like results only. Not to mention, HAL and ADA are not letting them participate as per ex-ACM.
How private sector supposed to participate when they know they can't make any profit as they know user end product take years for acceptance from the user!! They can't invest a lot like this without having a clear guarantee.
