IAF to have special gadgets on aircraft

April 16-30, 2011

The Indian Air Force has plans of equipping its fighter aircraft with special gadgets which would help in the production of oxygen in the air. This would help pilots to be airborne for a longer period.

The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is working on the on board oxygen generation system (OBOGS) that will produce oxygen inside the aircraft, allowing the pilots to fly without the help of heavy oxygen cylinders they carry for high altitudes and long duration sorties. According to reports the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) has started the ground integration process of OBOGS in the Technology Demonstrator (TD) version of the LCA Mark-II.
