Aero India is jewel in Asian crown: US
The United States (US) will be the largest participant at the Aero Show 2011, with more than 200 official and business delegates.
A high-level delegation led by secretary of commerce Gary Locke and US ambassador to India Timothy J Roemer, will be attending the air show where that country is exhibiting a broad cross-section of military aircraft and equipment through static displays and aerial demonstrations.
“The Aero India is one of the jewels of Asia. The US government’s high-level participation at the Aero India this year is an indication of the growing defence relationship between US and India and a sign of India’s growing prominence on the world stage. Aero India is the most recent manifestation of the increasing significant partnership that includes joint military exercise, regional security initiatives and a flourishing military sales relationship,” Roemer said.
He said that removing the nine Defence Research and Development Organisation and Indian Space Research Organisation laboratories and centres from the entities list following US president Barack Obama’s recent India visit, is further proof to the US’ commitment to be India’s strategic partner.
The Boeing C-17 Globemaster III transport aircraft, Lockheed Martin C-130J Hercules transport aircraft, Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker aerial refuelling aircraft, Lockheed Martin F-16 Super Viper and Boeing F/1 Super Hornet are among the aircraft which will be participating in the five-day air show starting on Wednesday.
Roemer also said that the US is keen to participate in India’s programmes by developing infrastructure at future and existing airports across the country.
He said that the US would like to participate with India in developing civilian aircraft, helicopters and corporate jets.
India and the US are also looking to sign the Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement (BASA) which will lead to mutual acceptance of aeronautical products and parts developed in either country.

Re: HOT...First Looks Of The Tejas MK2
no offense but the HAL tejas is probably one of the biggest joke apart from the arjun mbt. It no longer meets Indias requirement as a main battle plane, maybe its more suitable as a trainer. the hal tejas is too small and too light, limiting its ability to carry advanced weaponary and especially advanced electronics, including radar. apart from the size, its overall aero design is very primitive, not even as advanced as the f16 designed in the 70s. this plane should be like a practice piece for the indian aero industry instead of a mass produced weapon. the program had dragged on for more than 30 plus years, its directors and high up officials should know better. if the indians end up fielding this plane on a large scale, it would be like the chinese filelding the FC-1 in 2010 and keep using it until 2030, or fielding j20 after 2025, which defeats its original purpose. warplanes for major nations are like electronic products, it always change quickly, CPUs more than 2 years old cant even be found on shelves anymore. warplanes are the same thing. after 30 years of dragging and lagging, its time for the indian to abandon this platform for move onto something for meaningful.

Ah all major first indigenous aviation projects can be considered "jokes". I mean the LCA won't be competing internationally for contracts or anything, but as long as HAL can design it for the IAF's needs then it is a worthwhile investment for the drive to indigenous military production.
Let's see how the MCA or AMCA or whatever it's called, folds out.
