Lightweight Ceramic Faced Composite Armour Panels


Lightweight Ceramic Faced Composite Armour Panels for Advanced Light Helicopter and Mi-17-IV helicopter have successfully undergone integration and flight-trials. This provides protection to aircrews and critical parts of helicopter against hits of bullets of 12.7 mm AP. Composite laminates were made using kevlar fabric as reinforcement and modified epoxy resin for matrix.

Kevlar-epoxy composite laminates of different thicknesses were prepared by compression moulding process. Kevlar-epoxy composite laminates were bonded with alumina ceramic cylindrical pellets with the help of epoxy structural adhesive. Gaps between the ceramic pellets were filled with modified epoxy resin.

Quote: "... ‘We’re aiming for a first flight of the LCA Navy Mk.2 in late 2020 or early 2021. The detailed design will be complete by 2019...."

-- I admit a more accurate statement should be "under development". But my point is it's not even reach design finalization.

I welcome correction.

That's 7 to 8 years away for 123 planes. Even the article says 2nd/additional production line is adding soon, given the target to replace 11 squadrons of ~176 (16 planes each sqd), IAF is still short of 50+.

The need is for :

The IAF was considering at least 14 Tejas squadrons with 294 aircraft in February 2014, with each squadron to have 21 aircraft.

The detailed design will be complete by 2019....
Detailed design is much more than preliminary design phase you know.
But my point is it's not even reach design finalization.
Oh dear! Ever work in high end industries.


Detailed design/development design stands finalization what equipment engine Radar it would carry. It doesn't really mean we have not designed it,
It's finalized how it must look like and what would be specifications.

Hope it helps! :)
