First Successful Flight-Test Of DRDO's Indigenous Power Take Off Shaft On LCA Tejas In Bengaluru

 


Pradeep Kumar – The first successful flight-test of the Power Take Off (PTO) shaft on the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA Tejas) Limited Series Production (LSP)-3 aircraft was carried out in Bengaluru today. The power take off shaft has been indigenously designed and developed by Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO)'s Combat Vehicles Research and Development Establishment (CVRDE), Chennai.

 

The PTO shaft, which is a critical component in the aircraft, will support the requirements of future fighter aircraft and their variants and offer competitive cost and short lead times in availability. With this successful test, DRDO has achieved a significant technological achievement by realizing the complex high-speed rotor technology that only a few countries have.

 

The PTO shaft was designed with the unique innovative patented 'Frequency Spanning Technology' which enables it to overcome the impedance at various operating engine speeds. The lightweight high speed, lubrication free PTO shaft transmits high power between the aircraft engine gear box and aircraft mounted accessory gear box while accommodating misalignments that can occur in the drive line.

 

Aeronautical Development Agency, Center for Army Airworthiness and Certification, Directorate General of Aeronautical Quality Assurance and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited along with CVRDE achieved this feat. The PTO shaft technology has already been transferred to Godrej & Boyce, Mumbai and Lakshmi Technology & Engineering, Coimbatore.

 

Defense Minister Rajnath Singh appreciated DRDO, PSUs and industry and said that the successful construction of PTO shaft is another important achievement towards 'Atmanirbhar Bharat'.

 

Dr Sameer V Kamat, Secretary, Department of Defense R&D and Chairman, DRDO said that the success has demonstrated the country's research capability and will actively support the test aircraft programmes.
