India develops Ghatak stealth drone

Ghatak is the most anticipated and first in stories India is a stealth unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) developed by specialists from this South Asian country. Various organizations throughout India are involved in its creation, including the Indian Institute of Technology IIT-Kanpur, located in Kanpur.

The Indian edition of Alpha Defense tells about it.

A 1: 1 scale model of the vehicle is currently being developed, and soon Ghatak will make its first flight. It is noted that the UAV has a flying wing design, which to some extent complicates its control. To make it easier to control the device, the Indian Aviation Development Agency ADA is going to apply the principle of thrust vector control. This technology was developed jointly by ADA and IIT-Kanpur. It is based on transverse jet injection in a converging nozzle with a stern platform.

The thrust vectoring technology will make it easier for the Ghatak to change direction. Working on the project, scientists from the two institutions conducted joint trials in 2017 to create a thrust vectorization in the yaw direction with injection into a convergent nozzle with an elliptical exit and using a triangular-shaped aft platform, as reported by the specialized portal Science Direct.

India is developing the Ghatak autonomous stealth drone for its Air Force. It is designed for reconnaissance missions, but can also perform strike functions with missiles, bombs and precision-guided ammunition.

There is no talk in India yet about when such a UAV will take off.

India develops Ghatak stealth drone

Now, probably only Gabon is not developing drones.

[voyaka uh]

The Indians swung at the most difficult option: a flying wing without mechanical
slats and flaps.
This will be the scheme of the new American bomber-strategist B-21.
Which still exists in the form of two prototypes.

And moreover, every single one has already overtaken Russia forever in this, because the regime.

Well yes. In India there is a model, and in Russia the Hunter has been flying for a long time. Overtaken)))) Forever)))))
Amenpodestovich, you are simply the king of comments. I envy)))

And I was still thinking, to sculpt "(srkzm)" or not? I decided that and so, well, it is clear that (srkzm). Obviously not clear. That is, it is clear to someone, but it is obvious that not to everyone.

I beg your pardon. Thought Israeli propaganda

Israeli propaganda - at least the local representatives - are not capable of sarcasm.

transverse jet injection into a converging nozzle with a stern platform.
Was it our rocket technology that was converted into an aircraft engine?

At the second and third stages of the "Start-1" LV, devices for gas injection into the supercritical part of the nozzle (gas-dynamic deflection of the jet) are used as controls
Scheme of gas-dynamic jet deflection Gas-dynamic jet deflection is possible by introducing a gas or an evaporating liquid and the supersonic part of the nozzle. The injected working fluid deflects the gas flow by an oblique shock wave formed in the nozzle, behind which there is a region of increased pressure that captures a certain sector of the inner surface of the nozzle. Typically, four leads are evenly spaced around the circumference. In this case, the lateral force appears due to the difference in pressure on diametrically opposite sections of the inner surface of the nozzle.

Pfft, I don't know about Gabon, but Ghana is already marching in exoskeletons! That there are drones, ugh!

[Dodikson]

like it was Nigeria.

[Ryaruav]

and in the background is it not a case borrowed from the outskirts?

[Vladimir_2U]

Krasii-willow, almost like "Arjun"!

[mojohed2012]

India developed and developed but underdeveloped.
It is clear from their development of small arms.

[kit88]

Is he the size of a kitchen table, or what?

[V1er]

Will he sing and dance?)

[rocket757]

Then they will buy it at the "bazaar", not the first time.

[Pashhenko Nikolay]

A new participant joined the race of military models.

[Voltsky]

where is the Zin engine ?!

where is the Zin engine ?!

So he is inconspicuous! Those. many have heard about it, only a few have seen the model, and no one has ever seen a working model and most likely will not see it.

[Adimius38]

EVERYONE builds stealth, but to be honest, our hunter is far from stealth

[Voltsky]

how do you know ?!

[Gennady Fomkin]

Hindu programmers will soon surpass usseh Indians are not even able to manufacture AK

[Gennady Fomkin]

A real combat UAV is an ICBM.

The beginning does not fit with the ending at all, I want to note)

> India is not yet talking about when such a UAV will take off.
But this is closer to reality, I suppose, when the dancing ends and the incense goes out.

[Magmax]

Everybody is developing drones because they are the future.
