Boeing Co., the second-biggest U.S. defense contractor, is seeking to help India develop a medium- fighter jet to boost sales in a defense market it expects to be worth $31 billion over the next 10 years.

The planemaker is also interested in cooperating with India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation on aero- structures, avionics and materials, Vivek Lall, the head of its Indian defense and space operations, said in a Feb. 25 interview in New Delhi. The Chicago-based company is in talks to sell equipment for manned space missions, he said.

Boeing has separately bid to sell India 126 multirole fighters in an $11 billion deal and military helicopters, taking advantage of improving U.S.-India ties. Lockheed Martin Corp., European Aeronautic Defence & Space Co. and BAE Systems Plc. are also seeking sales in India and other emerging markets as western nations pare military spending as part of wider budget cuts.

Boeing’s discussions with the Indian Space Research Organisation cover crew accommodation units, reusable space systems and composite cryogenic tanks, Lall said. The U.S. last year ended a ban on selling space and military equipment to India that was introduced following nuclear tests in 1998.

India is developing a twin-engine medium-combat aircraft in the 20-ton category with stealth capabilities that may eventually replace the air force’s fleet of Mirage-2000 and Jaguars. Last year, the country separately signed a deal to co- operate with Russia on developing a larger 30-ton fighter.

The Indian Air Force is also seeking to buy 22 attack helicopters and 15 transport ones. Boeing is offering its Apache and Chinook models.

When transport air crafts, anti tank guns, engine for home grown fighters and ships and AC and many advanced weaponry are from american companies and people are happy with that, why cry over an American Company participation over AMCA??

The american phobia is fast catching up here too, it seems.
 
All Im gonna say is, if you want participation, please take it from the beginning. Don't go 20 years into the project and then ask for a joint venture.
 
I think it would be better to ask for help when ever you get stuck and plzz dont decline this by saying we will make every thing on our own ask for help when there is a need for it

okay how exactly are you interpreting the help offered



Does it means putting US systems which are sanction prone into the project?

Does the help means intellectual property is transferred to Boeing or US?

Does it mean we will have to ask US if we need to sell the fighter to a 3rd nation?

If the answer is yes in any of these, then its trouble. Otherwise dont bother.

Get as much help from all available options and fast complete the project ASAP.

Those 2 are the problems...
The main part is the sensitive info of AMCA can be exploited by US...
 
Just scrap this proposal and we can apply the tech we get from FGFA and the one we develop ourselves
AMCA will have kaveri engine........
