Ever since the enews of aesi.org died, i felt there was a need for a similar thing so as to keep pace with aerospace industry we now have indianaeronews.blogspot.com and i hope the http://indianaeronews.blogspot.com is keeping up the good work.
Two campanies that remained in limelight this week in indian aerospace are Boeing and TATA. Boeing is partnering and increasing its business intrests in india and if you are following the news steadily you will notice that TATA is slowing moving into aerospace sector. The partnership with boeing and brazilian aircraft maker Embraer are pointers that this company is having great plans for aerospace. So buck up aerospace engineers, you have TATA waiting for you.
Another organization that is taking things into his hand is my former organisation NAL, It was in news this week for the regional transport aircraft (RTA) for which it has got the seed money from government of india.
This news apart flightglobal had another article on the shortage of aerospace engineers and that i guess is a good news for all the budding aerpasce engineers. Another news is regarding EDST, India’s largest PLM Solutions and 3D Visual Simulation provider, with its headquarters in Bangalore, which announced the launch of its training centre in Bangalore which will provide industry-focused training in PLM tools like CATIA V5, ENOVIA.
With Indian Aerospace and Defence budget expected to touch $100 billion mark in the next 10 years, an offset clause warranting foreign defence vendors to source 30 to 50 per cent of contract value within India, is expected to fetch several billion dollars worth of business for local industry.
So rejoice aerospace engineers you are in demand!!!

Flightglobal reports
The assembly lines may not be on the verge of grinding to a halt, or the launch pads about to be put into mothballs. But major problems in the supply of engineers in the aerospace industry are undoubtedly looming on the horizon.
For an industry whose self-image is one of thrusting achievement and pushing the technological envelope, the realities of company demographics make sobering reading. The workforce is ageing and the point is approaching at which the number of retirees will no longer be matched by the arrival of new entrants from universities and colleges.
