Question 36


Comprehension:
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.

The Tata-Airbus consortium will now start manufacturing the transport aircraft A C295 for the Indian Air Force (IAF) in Vadodara, Gujarat. It is the first project of its kind in which a military aircraft will be manufactured in India by a private company. It is also the first time that the C295 aircraft will be manufactured outside of Europe. The manufacturing unit will cater to the export of the transport aircraft and for additional orders by the IAF.
The C295 was originally produced by a Spanish aircraft manufacturer named Construcciones Aeronáuticas SA. This company is now part of Airbus and the aircraft’s manufacturing takes place at Airbus’s plant in Spain.
Under the agreement, Airbus will deliver the first 16 aircrafts in ‘fly-away’ condition from its final assembly line in Seville, Spain within four years, and the subsequent 40 aircrafts will be manufactured by Tata Advanced Systems Ltd (TASL) in India.
After the completion of the delivery of 56 aircrafts to the IAF, Airbus Defence and Space will be allowed to sell the aircraft manufactured in India to civil operators and export to countries which are cleared by the Government of India.
The C295 is a transport aircraft with 5 to 10-tonne capacity and a maximum speed of 480 km/h. It has a rear ramp door for quick reaction and para-dropping of troops and cargo. Short take-off and landing from semi-prepared surfaces are some other features. It can operate from short airstrips just 2,200 feet long and can fly low-level operations for tactical missions flying at a low speed of 110 knots.
The technical specifications put out by Airbus say that the aircraft has a cabin dimension of 12.7 metres or 41 feet and eight inches. The company claims this aircraft has the longest unobstructed cabin in its class which can accommodate 71 seats. The company also claims that C295 can carry more cargo than its competitors with direct off-loading through the rear ramp.
All 56 aircraft will be fitted with an indigenous electronic warfare suite to be developed by Bharat Electronics Ltd and Bharat Dynamics Limited. Defence Secretary Ajay Kumar has said the indigenous content in the plane will be the highest ever in India, and that 96 per cent of the work that Airbus does in Spain to produce the plane will be done at the manufacturing unit in Vadodara.
As per Airbus, the C295 operates in the Brazilian jungles and Columbian mountains in South America, the deserts of Algeria and Jordan in the middle east and the cold climates of Poland and Finland in Europe. The aircraft has also flown in military operations in Chad, Iraq and Afghanistan.
The C295 can carry troops and logistical supplies from main airfields to forward operating airfields of the country. The aircraft can additionally be used for casualty or medical evacuation, performing special missions, disaster response and maritime patrol duties.

Question 40


Comprehension:
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.

The Tata-Airbus consortium will now start manufacturing the transport aircraft A C295 for the Indian Air Force (IAF) in Vadodara, Gujarat. It is the first project of its kind in which a military aircraft will be manufactured in India by a private company. It is also the first time that the C295 aircraft will be manufactured outside of Europe. The manufacturing unit will cater to the export of the transport aircraft and for additional orders by the IAF.
The C295 was originally produced by a Spanish aircraft manufacturer named Construcciones Aeronáuticas SA. This company is now part of Airbus and the aircraft’s manufacturing takes place at Airbus’s plant in Spain.
Under the agreement, Airbus will deliver the first 16 aircrafts in ‘fly-away’ condition from its final assembly line in Seville, Spain within four years, and the subsequent 40 aircrafts will be manufactured by Tata Advanced Systems Ltd (TASL) in India.
After the completion of the delivery of 56 aircrafts to the IAF, Airbus Defence and Space will be allowed to sell the aircraft manufactured in India to civil operators and export to countries which are cleared by the Government of India.
The C295 is a transport aircraft with 5 to 10-tonne capacity and a maximum speed of 480 km/h. It has a rear ramp door for quick reaction and para-dropping of troops and cargo. Short take-off and landing from semi-prepared surfaces are some other features. It can operate from short airstrips just 2,200 feet long and can fly low-level operations for tactical missions flying at a low speed of 110 knots.
The technical specifications put out by Airbus say that the aircraft has a cabin dimension of 12.7 metres or 41 feet and eight inches. The company claims this aircraft has the longest unobstructed cabin in its class which can accommodate 71 seats. The company also claims that C295 can carry more cargo than its competitors with direct off-loading through the rear ramp.
All 56 aircraft will be fitted with an indigenous electronic warfare suite to be developed by Bharat Electronics Ltd and Bharat Dynamics Limited. Defence Secretary Ajay Kumar has said the indigenous content in the plane will be the highest ever in India, and that 96 per cent of the work that Airbus does in Spain to produce the plane will be done at the manufacturing unit in Vadodara.
As per Airbus, the C295 operates in the Brazilian jungles and Columbian mountains in South America, the deserts of Algeria and Jordan in the middle east and the cold climates of Poland and Finland in Europe. The aircraft has also flown in military operations in Chad, Iraq and Afghanistan.
The C295 can carry troops and logistical supplies from main airfields to forward operating airfields of the country. The aircraft can additionally be used for casualty or medical evacuation, performing special missions, disaster response and maritime patrol duties.
