Aero India 2023 - Bengaluru
- Thread starter Ashwin
- Start date
This year's Aero India is going to be a huge hit. I won't be surprised in the least, if half of South India's engineering pass outs in the past 2-3 yrs turn up.
Wire ? I don't see any wire, Those are looking like locks which will removed by before fly.
@RASALGHUL , Normally I would ask randomradio when I want to read something positive.. He is like Wikipedia .. will gives us the general idea..
But last few days with HVT involved.. I didn't want to disturb him. So I asked Rajput lion.
If specs are available, I would ask the experts like Vstol but right now an optimist would do..
I think many knowledgeable new members are here.. It would take me some time to identify them..

My reaction was for the faith you are showing in HAL to Design & Manufacture it in Foreseeable Future.
Normally i am pessimistic.. Even with Mk2 I don't believe in any time lines.
But HTT 40 was different, they made if from off the shelf technologies..
So made it successfully.
This one also seems to like that..
Combination of available technology and also production facilities..( eg Metal skin like su 30 )
If it gets some support it ll be successful.
Do you ask questions to resident storyteller to get facts or to get feel good answers?
First of all, let me say that this bird looks beautiful. Almost like a sleek F-16 cousin, lol.
Now coming on to your question. Well, we already have integrated SAAW in Hawk-i. So we are looking for CAS/ground attack duty from it. Hence, it's obvious that HLFT-42 would be used for that role too. It's going to be much more effective than Hawk(s) in that role being bigger and faster.
Plus, we can target international markets with this as a cheap light-weight fighter. Tejas is expensive because of composite use, HLFT-42 is going to be a full metal bird, so much more cheaper for training/CAS/Ground-Attack roles as a light fighter/supersonic trainer.
Man, it warms my heart to see India indigenously design such good looking planes
Please, Please. Let HAL first Finish With Tejas saga.Man, it warms my heart to see India indigenously design such good looking planes
It's Good to be optimist but let's have good dose of reality with it.
