TECHNOLOGY VISION 2035

MEDIUM OBJECTIVE:
TERM Demonstration of commercial aerospace design and manufacturing capabilities and
(10-15 YEARS) further integration into global aerospace supply chain.

AIRFRAME, • Complex Aero-structures and Air-frame manufacturing
SYSTEMS AND • Natural laminar flow
MATERIALS
• Hybrid laminar flow
• Active load alleviation
• Advanced fly by wire
• Fly by light (Optical fibre)
• Avionics and sensor technologies
• Advanced metallic manufacturing technologies such as pre-forming the raw
material into shapes that are close to that of final part
• Additive manufacturing where metal is deposited layer by layer to build up
complex shapes
• Laser beam welding and Friction stir welding
• Software based non-destructive structural health monitoring
• New design solutions for the next generation aircraft to be developed around
the advanced technologies leading to significant reduction in carbon and noise
emissions

ENGINE • Design and development of indigenous aircraft propulsion system

FUELS AND • Development of next generation energy solutions based on low cost alternative
ALTERNATIVE fuels. Alternate energy is the possible area where India should leapfrog by
ENERGY developing cost efficient next generation technology solutions
• The different areas of opportunity within this domain include: Fuels, Engines,
Energy storage efficiency, and Energy conversion efficiency
• The products to be focussed besides alternative fuels, new propulsion systems
would also include secondary power sources for Auxiliary Power unit(APU),
cabin lighting, in-flight entertainment etc.

NATIONAL CIVIL • Indian Regional Jet with multiple seating configuration for low capacity regional
TRANSPORT connectivity in tier II and tier III cities
AIRCRAFT FOR • Equipped with globally latest technologies and materials including composite
REGIONAL
CONNECTIVITY airframe, structural health monitoring, fly by wire, electrical systems, PBN
(Performance Based Navigation), ADS-B (Automatic dependent surveillance –
broadcast ) etc.
• Capable of all-weather operations, best cabin comfort, fuel efficient, lower
emissions and compliant with latest noise standard

ANS/AIR • Deployment of ADS-B (IN)
TRAFFIC • Cockpit Display of Traffic Information (CDTI)
