With the Make in India initiative on everyone’s mind, Aero India 2017 will be showcasing both Indian and international new technologies, including ultra light armour protection for helicopters, 3D printing for parts, nano technology, smart materials, AESA radar, infrared seeker and sensor technology, engines, and rotors. Around 270 Indian companies and 279 foreign companies are expected to participate in the premium aerospace and aviation exhibition, which starts on February 14.
Kanpur-based MKU Pvt Ltd is one of the Indian companies showcasing its cutting edge technology for mission critical modular protection for helicopters. Of all the factors that affect the performance of a helicopter, weight is the most important one, followed by lift, thrust and drag. MKU’s 6th Generation Polyshield V6 armouring technology uses advanced composite materials and techniques that reduce the weight of armour for aircraft and helicopters by approximately 40% compared to standard armouring solutions.
“Keeping the multi role operations and survivability of utility and assault helicopters in consideration, the company designs helicopter armour kits using the proprietary ‘Modular Schutz Technik’, which uses precision engineered composite armour panels along with patented aero-grade attachment systems,” said Neeraj Gupta, managing director, MKU. “These kits are installed in the existing structure of the helicopter, and do not require any structural changes or tampering with the aerodynamics of the helicopter. Hence, re-certification of the aircraft for airworthiness does not become an obligation.”
