NAL Saras : Updates & Discussions

I see 0 growth potential for saras, IAF may buy few to satisfy HAL's ego. That's it.
It's being developed by NAL, not HAL. At least get that right.
Mk2 can be produced by any interested and capable company. The EOI is asking for just that. They did not automatically giving it to HAL.
All future NAL ADA projects will be decoupled with HAL.
From the looks of it they're not only asking for production but prototype , testing & validation too. What exactly is NAL's role then?
Saras is a tiny VIP transport aircraft. A business jet. C295 is a tactical airlifter. Like An-32 and C130J. Saras is a 19 seater. C295 can carry 72 soldiers. 48 paratroopers. Apples and oranges. The two have nothing to do with each other.
At least do some research before trolling dude.
The legend is that “ Hydra doesn’t need facts. He make facts”
They developed the config & much of the manufacturing technology. This is nothing new, they adopted the same model for CNM-5 with Mahindra. The prototype aircraft was built in Australia by GippsAero.
NAL adopts Dassault Systèmes solutions to design civil aircraft in India

Saras Mk-2 will be a 19-seater aircraft with features like high cruise speed, lower fuel consumption and low acquisition and maintenance costs.
BANGALORE: Dassault Systèmes announced that National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL), a constituent of Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) has adopted the Passenger Experience industry solution experience based on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to design civil aircraft in India, specifically the Saras Mk-2 program.
NAL is also using DraftSight, a 2D and 3D Computer Aided Design (CAD) solution for 2D design standardization in the manufacturing of civil aircraft.
The Passenger Experience industry solution experience helps in reducing engineering costs in cabin completion by up to 40% through engineering, manufacturing and certification processes automation. It also helps in increasing brand perception and reducing content creation by 40% for all passenger touch points for sales and marketing. It combines emotion and automation across engineering, manufacturing and certification processes to allow completion centres to deliver personalized cabin interiors profitably. The DraftSight solution unifies essential 2D drafting, advanced 2D CAD or all-in-one 2D and 3D design with full 3D capabilities for modelling, prototyping, manufacturing and laser cutting.
With this adoption and by replacing the existing 2D CAD tools with DraftSight, NAL has expanded its usage of technology solutions from Dassault Systèmes. It has been using the 3DEXPERIENCE platform in its overall mission and mandate to develop aerospace technologies with strong science content, to design and build small and medium-sized civil aircraft, and support the nation’s regional connectivity plan such as UDAN (Ude Desh Ka Aam Nagrik).
“The 3DEXPERIENCE platform-based Passenger Experience solution has been deployed in designing the cabin and cockpit of the Saras Mk-2 program. Virtual twin-based insights offered by this solution helped us to configure the cabin for various use cases and scenarios,” said Jitendra J Jadhav, Director, NAL, in a statement.
Saras Mk-2 will be a 19-seater aircraft with features like high cruise speed, lower fuel consumption, short landing and take-off distances, low cabin noise, pressurized cabins and low acquisition and maintenance costs. It will be operable from high and hot airfields, and from semi-prepared airfields.
In a statement, Deepak NG, Managing Director, India, Dassault Systèmes said, “As systems in the aerospace and defense industry become more complex to design, build and deliver, OEMs and suppliers need to accelerate innovation, drive efficiencies and adopt collaborative platforms to allow for greater agility on production rate. Dassault Systèmes is enabling companies in the sector by providing new ways to conceptualize, design, manufacture, test, certify and sustain new air and space vehicles.”

It seems detailed design work of the HAL/NAL Sarak Mk-2 is progressing well.
Wing design :
Saras Mk-2 will feature a 5 bladed design. Some blades have been acquired from the American company Hartzell Propeller to study the design. The blades will not be commercially purchased but in-house designed. Blade design obtained by scanning:
Could be a good design for ISTAR,reconnaissance plane,CAS plane,special missions plane. But IAF is made up of fighter jocks rather than actual air force pilots.
