Once again, the `79,579 crore ($16 billion) funds allotted for capital expenditure appear to be a substantial im- provement over the previous year but when viewed against the depleting value of the rupee against the dollar (down by more than 20 per cent in last one year) and the ever rising in- flationary pressures—both global and domestic—there is little reason left to cheer for the enhanced allocations. Notwithstanding the above, it is sincerely hoped that whatever funds earmarked for the capital acquisitions— Army: `18,828 crore ($3.8 billion); Navy: `23,865 crore ($4.8 billion); and the Air Force: `29,853 crore ($6 billion)— would at least be allowed to be spent fully this year. In the past, MoD has been forced to surrender the money from capital account on one pretext or the other by the Finance Ministry. In the same vein, it is also to be hoped that for timely fructification of the armed forces’ capability build- ing programmes, the capital fund allotments would be in- creased to the desired levels.

It is anticipated that a greater number of Flight Data Analysis Programs will lead to significantly greater safety levels through analysis of critical event sets and incidents. Action: The FDAP working group is requesting support for greater implementation of FDAP/FDMP throughout the Pan American Regions and consideration of new ICAO standards through the actions outlined in Section 4 of this working paper. Strategic Safety Objectives: References: Annex 6 ‐ Operation of Aircraft, Part 1 sections as mentioned in this working paper RASG‐PA ESC/28 ‐ WP/09 presented at the ICAO SAM Regional Office, 4 to 5 May 2017. 1.

One can therefore broadly say that India has been the world’s leading arms importer over the past decade.

  • Bell Hiller Mechanism
    www.ijcrt.org © 2020 IJCRT | Volume 8, Issue 9 September 2020 | ISSN: 2320-2882 BELL HILLER MECHANISM 1B.NARESH, 2T. AMAR SAVYASACHI, 3SRINATH MUNDADA, 4V.GOWTHAMI, 1Assitant Professor, 2345Student, 12345Mechanical Department, 12345Guru Nanak Institute of Technology, Hyderabad, Telangana, India. Abstract— Swashplate mechanism is the steering control mechanism, used in most helicopters. It is a complex multi-loop closed kinematic chain which controls the angles of attack of the main rotor blades. In most new model helicopters, this mechanism is also equipped with the bellhiller stabilizer bar (flybar), to improve the stability. The main purpose of this paper is the dynamic analysis of a swashplate mechanism, one of the latest architectures, used for hinge less rotor with the flybar. The analyses are based on the parallel manipulators concept and the virtual work principle. Also, an ADAMS rigid body dynamic model was developed to verify the results of the analytical model. In many simulated cases, the results matched. Keywords: Swatch Plate, main rotor, thrust, lift force , Sliding bar, Flybar, Blades, Using CATIA 2019, ANSYS R18.1 I. INTRODUCTION This mechanism is used to change direction of flight. The arm called Bell input in the picture permits to directly change the angle of attack of the blades from the swashplate, the response to this input is fast but is inherently instable so, in the cyclic control, this input is mixed with the Hiller's one.A helicopter main rotor or rotor system is the combination of several rotary wings (rotor blades) and a control system that generates the aerodynamic lift force that supports the weight of the helicopter, and the thrust that counteracts aerodynamic drag in forward flight.

It was a great opportunity extended to me to work with such a large organization. Since the duration of my summer training was short, in comparison to the monolithic level of functioning in the organization, so it became difficult to cover each and every aspect in detail but I have tried my best to see all the important points related to my study. This study gave me a practical exposure of the functioning of marketing department. The project report is the mere constitution of varied functions, which are handled by the Marketing department. In the due course of my study I became aware of the concepts, which are used in HAL.
