AMCA - Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft


View: https://twitter.com/delhidefence/status/1627874235300610049
Current target rollout for AMCA prototype 1 is end 2026, I believe. I see a report in idrw today that which companies will build which aerostructures for the prototypes has not yet been settled, Is it realistic to think that a prototype will be completed in the next 21 months? I don't know but I am doubtful. That is why I pose the question.
Many many such subsystem & lrus have been already developed or are under testing/development cycle.
Since 2010s they weren't sitting idle waiting for funds to be released instead the defence research and development organisation DRDO was working on it. This sub-systems weren't developed under AMCA funding but rather under annual funding of drdo.

I was hoping we would go for electric actuators for AMCA.. Many benifits over servo actuators including weight reductions and less need to mentain and higher accuracy and safety. we are not ambitious enough!

Thats the common theme in Indian MIC. Most, if not all, projects are more about keeping up with the current technologies rather than thinking ahead and coming up with next generation ideas.

RCI is developing electric actuators of wide spectrum. this actuators have been developed years ago.
They're developing newer ones.
Electrical actuators should have been the way to go for AMCA as they don't need those hydraulic oil circuits taking up space in airframe,pumps, oil and many more components adding upto maintainance.
While also freeing up more space for other equipments.
AMCA mk2 should have electric actuators. Given the equipment mk2 is supposed to house like much touted DEWs it should go for electric ones.

Here is the list the electric actuators under development by RCI, hydrabad. Given mk1 timeline its very likely they will house electric actuators

these are not going in amca.
Newer actuators are being developed for it,announced at aero india 2025.
