3/8 CLAW’s path shows why our aerospace progress crawls. It took ~25 yrs from design choice to IOC. By leaping straight to an unstable fighter, without FBW trainers/UAVs, and with limited simulation infrastructure and weak certification agencies, development “crawled to…

5/8 Even today, CLAW is tuned conservatively (?) and possibly being software tweaked upto what the rest of the airframe, engine, etc permits?? Safety buffers & envelope limits were (are) tighter than global peers, ensuring reliability but conservative agility. Like cars on the…

You do need a computer to make it work well, and you can make one without transistors. German second world war aero engines had mechanical engine management computers. Our engines had a lot of controls as well, but they were slightly less refined and were distributed over…

Created by Claude Chudzik in the 90s, the CC-02 first flight in 2007. This amateur-built aircraft is exceptionally beautiful. Thanks to its very pure aerodynamics and a motor of only 200hp, its cruising speed is 324km/h and its maximum speed is 555km/h, with a range of 1000km.

A cool jet that was very much enjoyed at UK airshows in the 1980s, the A-10A was not typical of the supersonic-biased USAF equipment. The product of the A-X programme that commenced in 1966, prototypes competed in a fly-off evaluation against the Northrop A-9, in 1972. 1/19

…would be in the worst case condition. Still, eye-balling the A-10 configuration, one might very well expect some effect of high angle of attack, on the engine inlet immediately after of the loaded, inboard suction surface of the wing root. 7/19

The outcome of the Advanced Manned Strategic Aircraft (AMSA) programme, an NAA contender dating from 1967, tested at AEDC, was unrecognisable compared to the final product of half a decade later. Supersonic tests on a fuselage-mounted inlet were conducted up to M = 2. 2/7

If you are a hardware startup needing to do fair amount of imports for your RnD. You should definitely get yourself registered as an in house RnD facility under @IndiaDsir. The process is quite easy (may take some time to process) but then can help save fair amount of costs on…

In my experience a LOT of lecturers, books and basically all published journal papers exist not to teach you by showing the reader how easy the topic they are explaining really is, but conversely, exist to impress you with the amazing cleverness of the person delivering the…

higher hot strength needs higher forging pressures hence this babble about 50 k ton press. I wld hv used X35xx ex stock for the prototype to confirm my sums are right before howling for presses. It is so idiotic that sometimes I think the buggers prioritise the finding of excuses

No private sector answerable to shareholders will handover money to ADA against promise of future workshare. No due diligence, no co-design. A delusional offer from ADA. It simply doesn't work that way.

Experimental aircraft cannot be flown here without appropriate "contacts". On the other hand UAE Civil Aviation is certifying eVTOLs which FAA is not ready to touch. Restrictions on experimental flight is a clever barrier to discourage aviation innovation and propagate monopoly.
