Bangalore:Civil aircraft development is one field in the country that has been least explored, and renowned scientists and engineers pointed out the possible reasons for it.
Speaking at the Professor Satish Dhawan Commemoration Lecture organised by the Institution of Engineers (India) on Monday, Padma Shri Dr T?S?Prahlad, who was a student of Dhawan, spoke about the challenges India faced in civil aircraft development.
Prahlad said civil aviation should also be given due importance like all other branches of engineering. “Unless private industries join hands, HAL (Hindustan Aeronautics Limited) alone will find it difficult to sustain and keep the industry growing,” he said.
A former scientist from NAL (National Aeronautics Limited), Prahlad said it might probably be the risk factor that acted as a major hindrance to the growth of the industry. “The possible question that arises is ‘why not buy one?’” he said, adding that it was the uncertainity or slow returns and a need for large investments that could stop people from exploring the field.
