The Indian Air Force has historically been the best-equipped air force in the region, operating a range of Russian-/Soviet-origin equipment with a smaller mix of Western and domestic arms. More recently, the IAF has suffered from "delayed procurement processes, a mismatch in the defense industry’s vision of fighter aircraft and the air force’s requirements, and a questionable capacity to develop and manufacture homegrown equipment that have left the air force shorthanded." (Carnegie India, https://lnkd.in/gRqUsdBY) Halldale Group's article, below, discusses the IAF's western modernisation efforts and a shift to simulation & training, in line with the force's training doctrine in balancing high technology equipment and assets with a professional and highly-trained workforce. https://lnkd.in/gU7jv4cs #airpower #airforce #IAF #aerospace #pilottraining #defence

Just because you designed it, does not mean that it's the best that it can be. Take the North American P51 Mustang (p =pursuit (Army Airforce) or a fighter {f = navy} internal petty politics is nothing new). The design was new in a period of rapid technological advancement, going from 112 mph (180 kph) top speed cotton and string bags in 1916, run with castor oil as a lubricant (for the engine and some unluckily pilots). To the aerodynamically clean Mustang at 384 mph (618 kph), a hot rod of the 1940's, 26 years later. The Mustang I was a low down and dirty machine at its best. Then a team over here, took the design from over there and said, "let's put our better engine in it and improve the view out", creating the Merlin powered Mustang, transforming the hot rod into a rocket ship. Then came the age of the helicopters, Britain played with a few designs but has mostly brought American idea's and built them over here. The first big upgrade came with the Westland Whirlwind (aka Sikorsky Chickasaw), these were originally fitted with great big radial piston engines (a radial is where the cylinders are in a circle like a clock face). Then some UK engineer pointed out that a Gnome Turboshaft (Jet engine) would take up less space, add about 130%-140% more power and weigh less. Ironically, the Gnome engine used was a GE (American) design built under licence in the UK. The UK moved onto the Wessex (aka Sikorsky Choctaw), again the big P&W American piston radial was taken out and a "little" Napier Gazelle, jet turboshaft stuck in its place. The power output was similar, but the Gazelle weighed much less. If you look at these improvement projects, none of them are just a pull out and stick a new one back in its place. Lots interconnected systems need to be changed for it to work. Every opportunity for improvement needs to be thought about and the flow up and down stream understood, image you are going to change a process in your business. Say how purchase orders are raised. Now think of the flow of time around the process in your business as being similar to the flow of lubricants & fuel to an engine. Too little and you'll either seize the engine solid or not have enough power when you need it. Too much, you'll flood the engine and stall it, or if it's too much castor oil flood the cockpit, not the aim of the game. When I work with businesses to lead a transformation programme the first activity is a holistic audit to understand the big picture impact of what's involved, designing out problems from the beginning. If you need a hand to drive efficiency, accept your design can be upgraded and get more out of the existing operation, bruce@soe-projects.co.uk Transforming the purchase order process for one client has saved over 28,000 of labour a year and took 6 months (part time) from start to finish.

Taiwan’s Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation (AIDC) has delivered 27 out of 66 T-5A Brave Eagle Advanced Jet Trainers (AJTs) ordered by the Republic of China Air Force (RoCAF). Janes reported that AIDC had achieved its annual delivery target of 17 T-5As to the RoCAF in 2023. The earlier batch of 10 aircraft was delivered between 2021 and 2022. The twin-engine T-5A (also known as the T-BE5A) is intended to replace the RoCAF’s obsolete AIDC AT-3 trainers and Northrop F-5E/F Tiger II fighters. The RoCAF aims to have all 66 T-5s in service by 2026. The 66 aircraft are being acquired at a cost of TWD68.6 billion (USD2.2 billion). The AIDC T-5 Brave Eagle (Yongying) is a transonic advanced jet trainer developed by the Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation (AIDC) of Taiwan. AIDC had used Blue Magpie, for the Taiwan blue magpie, as the project name. However in 2018 the Ministry of National Defense announced a contest to pick an official name for the aircraft. Taiwanese citizens were invited to submit a name with a short proposal with the winner receiving a NTD 30,000 prize. On 24 September 2019, the president Tsai Ing-wen officially named the new aircraft “Brave Eagle” during first prototype aircraft roll-out ceremony. #military #defense #defence #militaryleak https://lnkd.in/gEkbxx_w

When I read initial requirements of #USN's proposal for their T-X program on the open source, they said that candidate trainers don't need a carrier landing capability. I scratched my head: seriously???? This is ignorance of nature of operational environment of naval aviation. This comes from the Navy??? This article covers why the "BASIC" skill is necessary.

The C-295 aircraft construction ( its a Airbus design) is a giant step for Indian Aerospace industry and as a rare exception its not driven by HAL. IAF- 56 planes, Indian Navy - 9 planes and Coast Guard - 6 planes. A total 56 C295 aircraft are ordered by the Indian Air Force, 16 will be manufactured by Airbus in Spain, the remaining 40 will be produced by TASL at the C295 Final Assembly Line in Baroda, India. Aribus and TASL are developing a complete industrial ecosystem in India: from detailed parts production to assembly, testing, delivery and maintenance throughout the aircraft's life cycle. The IAFs C-295 can be loaded up to 20,000 lbs or 9250 KG. Its relatively unknown but the C-295 has inboard pylons carrying up-to 800Kg LASER guided bombs or small JDAMs- 500lb. The Center pylons can also support 500lb JDAMs or glide bombs but requires IEEE1553 interface or RS-422. Theoretically the C-295 can carry 4 SAAW Anti airfield glide bombs with a 100km range. In theory a modified C-295 can perform ASW role as seen in the image.
