AN APPROACH TO HIGH AoA TESTING OF THE TEJAS LCA Wg Cdr VIKRAM SINGH National Flight Test Centre, ADA 1. Introduction. Modern fighter aircraft are a complex combination of aerodynamic designs, flight control systems, and engines. These modern designs demand modern test methods to evaluate their Out-Of-Control Flight (OOCF) and High Angle-of-Attack (HAoA) characteristics. Testing has traditionally progressed from approach to stall maneuvers through full stall series to spins and stalls with aggr

Designing a safe & reliable fighter aircraft and meeting the performance not only in the present scenario but futuristic requirement too, is a challenging task for aircraft designers. LCA-Tejas is one such aircraft, which is indigenously designed and developed with cutting edge and state-of-the-art technologies. Some of these technologies are quadruplex digital fly-by-wire control system, OAC based avionics, Glass cockpit, Composite structure, robust and reliable mechanical system etc. The certification of aircraft with such technologies is equally challenging and complex process for certification authority. With proactive participation of certification agency, LCA has successfully demonstrated its capability on 11 prototypes vehicle with 1500 plus flights under various conditions and envelopes. In addition, LCA has also demonstrated the store management capability with safe separation and with considerable accuracy of important weapons such as R-73 CCM, 1000lb, 25lb, 3kg bombs. Having assessed its capability through design analysis, ground testing and successful flight demonstration, the LCA has been considered matured enough to be inducted into the services for operational role. LCA has been categorized into 17 systems covering 346 LRUs ( Line Replaceable Units ) to facilitate the certification process . CEMILAC, a certification authority has played a key-role in defining the methodology to be followed for certifying such complex flying machine along with its systems, their associated software and preparation of detailed documentation towards certification. Having satisfied with the complete process followed for certification and satisfactory result of 1500 plus successful flights, CEMILAC with the association of ADA and HAL has accorded Initial Operation Clearance and issued the Release to Service Document, which authorizes squadron pilots to fly this aircraft. This lecture brings out the detailed procedure and methodology followed in the form of journey with the sense of responsibility during certification of this state-of-the-art technology aircraft.

Although significant focus as regards MAV based surveillance is in the realms of video and infra-red imagery, acoustics, a sister discipline of optics, has been in the limelight for wrong reasons, as the give-away mechanical signature of MAV electric motors, somehow to be suppressed. However, acoustic sensors as payloads on-board MAVS can be very useful in their unique non - line of sight and beyond field of view capabilities, for instance, towards detecting direct and indirect fire activity on ground, 'hear and avoid' other UAVS in the air and also a mission, to quote Mueller again, 'to place acoustic sensors on the outside of a building during a hostage rescue or counter-drug operation'. The on-board acoustic sensor can also double as an accurate sensor of RPM of the propellers possibly of use in motor control for MAV manoeuvres. The MAV clearly is a surveillance platform of choice in low intensity conflict scenario and it is important that maximum benefit be derived on situation awareness from its short and urgent missions. Clearly, acoustics is its own nemesis because the MAV motor noise and flow noise can be significant factors when far field sources need to be listened to. Under these environments, an acoustic vector sensor (AVS) with its ability to directly measure particle velocity in three orthogonal directions together with the scalar pressure at a single point in air, offers a powerful option with its ability to determine bearing of a wideband source with simple algorithms. The emergence of ‘microflown’, a particle velocity sensor in AVS configuration is a significant development in aero-acoustics measurement technology. The microflown AVS sensor has been deemed ‘appropriate for the battlefield context’ by Hawkes and Nehorai, the latter, especially providing significant theoretical insights on AVS source localization algorithms in many publications. The MEMS technology based microflown sensor is especially of value in MAV payload suite because of its miniature size with the silicon version of the sensor becoming recently available. Presented in this lecture is an account of field performance evaluation of the microflown sensor in situation awareness applications under the broad context of defence and security with a view to assess its merits towards developing an acoustic payload system for MAVs . Microflown Technologies have mounted significant R&D work on AVS payload for MAV. It is thought appropriate that efforts between ADE and Microflown Technologies be synergistic towards realizing an AVS payload for MAVs.

Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) have emerged as significant thrust area for research and development focus by the aerospace community. These vehicles offer clear advantages in terms of reduced weight, unusual shape and increased mission performance. The MAV will be an inevitable part of battlefield in the near future and many countries are presently evolving concept of operations with MAV augmenting soldier’s capability. For instance, in the border area it can provide an excellent close range situational awareness to the soldiers at platoon/company level. It is also a well accepted fact that MAVs will find a major role in supporting paramilitary forces in countering insurgency & terrorism. These classes of air vehicles will also be very handy during disaster management operations wherein search and rescue missions are very crucial.

The tilt rotor has recently risen as a strong alternative for the future high speed VTOL air vehicle concept in civil and the other applications. The best advantage of the tilt rotor concept is known to have higher flight speed and endurance performance superior to conventional helicopter. In the early stage of tilt rotor development, several unexpected mishaps happened. However, in spite of many adversities, the tilt rotor concept has been actively researched and developed. Recently, the commercial tilt rotor aircraft has been on the airworthiness process, and waiting for a launch of passenger transport.
