    TR Attack & Utility Helicopter Programs

    Given what has been established with the TS-1400....and the videos (of tests, interviews etc) and so on that are freely available.....a turboprop matured variant would not shock/matter to outside observers....as TS-1400 is really set into motion already and it is readily expected natural...

    India Jet Engines and Gas Turbines

    I would say that GTRE GTX series is the program. Kaveri is just one specific (significant) fruit of it. As you can see there were functioning engines that were made prior to Kaveri: The economy near bankruptcy (govt forex wise) is overplayed as excuse. Several PSUs dispensed/absorbed forex...

    India India - China Relations

    There is no shortage of skilled workers in India for the kind of manufacturing that can provide 100+ billion volumes in tiers of 1, 2 and then 3 and 4 and so on. Even if you divide labour force by 2 or 3 as "available" (with blue collar training + organisation ready)....India is doing far...

    Yah lot of people dont understand shipyards and what investment (of time and resource) goes into hull production....that then becomes a baked in setting for the navy planners+designers to make use of and evolve for the lifetime of use. There are also all kind of inertias involved in this in the...

    TR Economy & Updates

    Bashing other countries to try feel better about one's self-inflicted bad state is not good or useful. All contexts are different....you should compare to your own known potential as far as possible only. No other country in world (economically behind or ahead of Turkey) I can think of lowers...

    India Jet Engines and Gas Turbines

    Kaveri was not a fresh slate starting point. Arguably Orpheus (license production, MRO and tinkering) provided the greatest impetus to HAL know-how in the cold war. After Marut winded up early, there was lot of orpheus engines prematurely retired.... HAL put them to extensive RnD efforts as...

    Indonesia Indonesian Economy News and Updates

    Yah all the projections that were made in 2000s (about 2020) were affected a lot by 2008 economic shock as well. Has huge lingering impact to this day. But even with "best case scenario" with zero shock/disruptions of sizeable degree, there is now a different era of structural bubble with the...

    Indonesia Navy Indonesian Navy, Tentara Nasional Indonesia-Angkatan Laut (TNI-AL)

    The easternmost indo-aryan languages (that represent core "India" as nation) are Bengali and Assamese. However geography in this area plays a factor and the British logistically saw the merit of having manipur, nagaland et al be adjoined to British India (along with Assam) rather than be kept...

    TR F-16 Özgür | Hürkuş - Fighter Trainer Aircraft Projects

    It depends very much on how the turboshaft project matures. If it matures and deployed well, having a turboprop based on it will be natural next step.

    India Economy + Infra Archive

    It will be good start + noticeable improvement. But really India should be growing at double digit real rate constantly for a block of 5 - 10 years now....in fact last decade itself. We should have been at least 5 trillion nominal GDP by now....so high growth now of 8% - 9% is expected and...
