Aircraft industry in india

A brief presentation on the aircraft manufacturing industry of India, prepared for class room presentation at Noorul Islam University

1. Aeronautical Industry In India Sharon M S7, Department of Mechanical Engineering NIU

2. Elephant Does Not Know Its Strength!

3. Objectives To give a brief overview about the aeronautical industry in India To introduce the aircrafts and components produced in India To introduce the Aeronautical Industries in India

4. Aeronautical Industry In India-An Overview Aircraft Manufacturers- HAL,NAL,Mahindra Aerospace Ltd etc Aircraft Models- More than 19 different aircrafts 7 Frontline Combat Jets 3 Transport Aircrafts 4 Helicopters Aircraft Production- More than 3550 aircrafts have been produced in the country Aircraft Engines-8 Aero engines produced in the country Exports-Exports of Aircrafts and Aircraft parts to USA,E.U,Switzerland,Ecuador,Malayasia , Israel,Peru,Turkey,Namibia and Mauritius

5. The Need for an Aeronautical Industry Cold Hot Sea Level Humid >Large and Diverse area unique to the country

6. Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd First aircraft industry in the country, established in 1940 as “Hindustan Aircrafts”. Found by industrialist Walchand Hirachand in the Kingdom of Mysore Was ranked 34 th in the top 100 defence firms Has a revenue of Rs 15128 Crores First aircraft produced was a Harlow PC-5

7. National Aerospace Ltd Established in 1959 Second largest aerospace firm in India Tasked with the development of civilian aircrafts

8. HAL HT-2 >First Indian designed and made powered aircraft >Designed by V.M Ghatge >First flight on August 5,1951 >Over 172 aircrafts were made >Powered by Cirrus Major III piston engine >Used by Indian Air Force and Indian Navy >Exported to Ghana

9. Wing load Tests being conducted on HT-2.

10. Load Tests on Seats

13. HAL LCA Tejas HAL Light Combat Aircraft “ Tejas ”, developed by ADA 4 th Generation Multirole Combat Aircraft Smallest and Lightest in its class First flight in 4 th January 2001 Top speed of Mach 1.6 (1,350 KMPH) The need was first rised in 1969, with the project funding starting in 1993 Tejas program was aimed to build a complete aviation eco-system in the country

14. Critical Technologies-LCA Tejas Fly-By-Wire >Replacing manual control interfaces with digital electronic interfaces > Tejas has quadruplux redundant Fly-By-Wire controls created by NAL Relaxed Static Stability > The aircraft is made intentionally unstable, adding manevourability Composites > Carbon Fibre , Glass and Aluminium based composites are extensively used >Saves weight, cuts radar cross section > Autolay - an ADA software composite designing software licensed to Airbus and Infosys

15. Critical Technologies- LCA Tejas Afterburning Turbofan Engine An afterburner directly injects fuel to the exhaust, giving additional power Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE) developed GTX Kaveri afterburning engine which produced 81 Kilo Newton thrust GTX Kaveri fell short of Tejas requirement of 90 KN Kaveri is being derived for use in ships,tanks and trains Glass Cockpit Fully digital displays replacing analogue ones

16. Tailless delta wing design

17. GTX Kaveri

18. Analogue Cockpit V/s Glass Cockpit

19. HAL HF-24 Marut >India’s first jet aircraft, flying on 17 June 1961 >Designed by German engineer Kurt Tank >India’s first supersonic jet >147 Jets built

20. HAL ALH Dhruv Advanced Light Helicopter First flight in 1992,introduced into service in 2002 Powered by two Shakti engines It can carry 12-14 Passengers or a load of 2.6 tonnes More than 200 helicopters produced In service with Ecuador, Mauritius,Israel,Malidives,Israel etc Several variants successfully developed

37. Future 124 4.5 generation Rafale jets to be made in India in the largest contract in the world Indigenous 5 th generation project AMCA in development Indo-Russian joint venture 5 th generation project FGFA in development Civilian aircraft Regional Transport Aircraft (RTA) under development at NAL

38. Conclusion Indian Aeronautical Industry is huge and has a lot of growth potential Local research and development is in full swing India’s positive global image has contributed to the growth Local contents in aircrafts needs to be improved Time for operationalization needs to be reduced
