Aircraft design and development is a very costly enterprise. The fixed costs involved in design and manufacture of new aircraft for the companies involved in design and manufacturing is very high. This is so even if the government carries some of the financial burden. However, despite the consequent reduction in cost, designing and building a modern state-of-the-art fighter aircraft such as the F-18 cost the design and manufacturing companies about US $ 5 billion in 1975.These costs remained much too high for manufacturers to bear.

The Indian Aircraft Industry is dominated by one big public sector player—Hindustan Aeronautics limited (HAL). Starting out as a private company, HAL was nationalised at the time of independence. It is involved in both designing and manufacturing aircraft. Alongside HAL, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is responsible for research and development.Until the economic reforms of 1991, private players were not allowed to operate in the aircraft industry in India. Since then a few big businesses have expressed interest in entering into this field. A few more government owned and run organisations exist such as the National Aeronautics Laboratories (NAL) and the Aircraft Development Agency (ADA). Being government-owned and run as part of the Ministry of Defence (MoD), these organisations suffer from the ills of bureaucracy and reliance upon the government for funds and clearances for R&D. Moreover, projects are mostly undertaken only when a specific requirement is projected by the user to the government. This situation leads to difficulties in retention of expertise and lack of regular R&D in cutting-edge technologies. HAL and DRDO have had some success in the design and manufacture of trainers such as the HT-2 and HJT-16 both of which saw extensive service with the IAF. Fighter projects such as the HF-24 Marut did not meet full designed performance expectations due to the non-availability of engine.

Jet engine requires high end processed superalloy materials and high technological infrastructure to build which cost crores and crores of money. Jet engines are used in supersonic jets, aircraft, turbo craft vehicles, static industrial machines, etc

Jet engines are one of the most challanging and complex machines ever made…they are really engineering marvels. Best fighter engines are produced by only a couple of companies in the world with decades of experience

India cannot ask  ‘whole’ world to give this sophisticated technology  because only a handful of nations could manage to develop modern fighter jet engines after decades of experience, trial, huge expense, infrastructure and ambition. Fighter jet engine is one of the most challenging machines ever made.

Even China couldn’t even copy an old British jet engine for 3 decades and they had to restart their jet engine project from scratch. And they are now in advanced stage of developing a modern fighter turbofan jet engine. China, who is an industrial and manufacturing giant, is NOT a giant in this field but a learner.

Coming to the case of India.

It was only in the 1970s, India really started exploring high level technological frontiers. In this period, India started nuclear and space program and got remarkable success. In 1980s, India started building its first supersonic fighter jet plane ‘Tejas’ (India previously developed a subsonic one also called ‘Marut’ and 147 no. of it served in IAF and fought in 1971 war) and now the first version of it (Tejas Mark 1) is ready. Yes, a remarkable feat because, again, most nations can’t even think of developing a fighter jet indigenously. Let alone an engine which is the most complex part of the fighter.

Tejas doesn’t have an Indian engine. Our ‘Kaveri’ engine was supposed to power Tejas but it remained a failure. We can say, only component in which India failed in Tejas project.

An overview of the Kaveri situation was provided by the GTRE director, T. Mohan Rao

1- He pointed out the major factor in delays being them not being given enough infrastructure and testing facilities – Govt has not given funds, babus have sat on them. Instead, they have had to go to CIAM in Russia and Anecom in Germany for tests 2- He mentioned 4 key areas where we lack a. BLISK – integrated single Blade and Disk b. Single Crystal blades – he categorically said – We do not have that tech at all. c. Thermal Barrier Coatings – TBC – very critical for high temp engine operation. A talk on this by an American Indian prof attracted a house full audience. He mentioned that this is highly critical and export controlled, so they dont have it.

Kaveri is a working engine. It has drawbacks to use in fighter jet like Tejas but that doesn’t mean the engine doesn’t run. Kaveri’s main problem is thrust generation is less than required and little overweight.

UIM and UM coverage is essential in Florida, where current accident laws are not as strict and many motorists do not understand the importance of having comprehensive auto insurance. The payment amount you receive on an underinsured motorist insurance claim is your UIM coverage limit minus any amount you receive from the other party. It only applies when the driver has some type of insurance and is limited to cases where your underinsured motorist coverage exceeds the liability coverage of the other driver. A claims process involves a pre-trial investigation, and you are expected to provide witness statements, medical records, and other relevant forms of evidence. However, you cannot file a lawsuit against your insurance provider.

These types of claims are filed against your insurance company and are progressed in a similar manner to standard auto insurance claims. You should file your uninsured motorist claims as soon as possible. You could do this right away when you realize the other driver doesn't have insurance, or if they refuse to share their insurance information. Required or not, this optional coverage is still very important and could save you thousands of dollars in damage and injury costs. It also saves you the agony and expense of filing a personal injury claim against an at-fault party who does not have insurance or significant assets to compensate for your injuries and vehicle damage. UN coverage can be added to a policy for a small amount of money.

Uninsured insurance coverage is also helpful when you are involved in a hit and run or when a driver is underinsured or has minimal auto insurance that is not enough to pay for serious injuries sustained. Plus, it covers you and your family members, whether you're traveling in your vehicle or someone else's vehicle. Even better, you remain protected as a pedestrian or cyclist, having the opportunity to pay your medical bills and other expenses in all these situations.

If you disagree with the settlement amount offered by your insurer, you can only resolve the matter through arbitration and not a court trial. When you go the arbitration route, keep in mind that you have limited rights to appeal, and if you lose, you must face the arbitrator's decision. Also, when submitting such claims, please note that your insurance provider will ask you to waive any payment from the other party once the settlement is complete.

Underinsured motorist insurance covers drivers who do not have enough insurance to pay for all the damages and injuries they cause. For example, it is applicable when a driver caused a multiple car accident and their insurance coverage is not enough to cover all the repairs. This coverage is similar to uninsured motorist coverage in many ways, including the fact that it is a claim made against your own insurance company.

It also covers the same expenses, such as your medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and loss of consortium. Insurance companies set a limit on how much you can get for uninsured motorist insurance coverage, and this amount must not exceed the amount of your primary coverage. This is because UM insurance is significantly cheaper than regular liability coverage and insurers use caps to prevent customers from getting minimum liability coverage and supplement it with this more affordable alternative. An underinsured claim proceeds like the uninsured motorist claim process, but it can take longer to start, and most often starts after you and your attorney know the full value of your claim. So what can help you cope with these kinds of situations? Insurance coverages that cover when the other person has no insurance (Uninsured Motorist) or has insufficient insurance (Underinsured Motorist).

These add-ons to typical auto insurance coverage help you cover costs that other drivers can't afford and that you would have to pay out of pocket. These supplemental insurances will also help you recover costs not covered by your PIP and property damage coverage, damages such as pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of consortium, plus future lost wages and medical expenses. Uninsured motorist coverage provides additional security for drivers who are hit by drivers who do not have any liability insurance coverage. In Florida, you are not required to have uninsured or underinsured motorist insurance.

However, auto insurers are required to offer it to you, and you have the option to decline. If you choose not to purchase this coverage, the state expects you to fill out a denial or waiver form.
