[edit] External Links

I'm replacing the link provided by 'Chanakyathegreat'

http://www.india-defence.com/reports/2898

with a new link from rediff.com as it provides more information.

[edit] Engines

The Specifications section states that it is for the Dhruv in general. All the World's Rotorcraft website quotes Jane's, saying that all models except high power requirement models use Turbomeca TM 333-2B engines. Those that would have been powered with CTS-800 engines from Allied Signal are the only ones to use the Ardiden 1H (Shakti) engines.[1] Unless the specifications are from a specific high power version of the Dhruv (and it should say so), shouldn't the engines reflect the TM 333-2B2 engines? --Born2flie 23:48, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copyvio

I removed the Design, Engine, and Avionics sections for copyvio. Compare (diff) the former Design and Engine sections with the article on the Army Dhruv version at http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/LAND-FORCES/Army/Dhruv.html and the former Avionics section at the Naval Dhruv article at http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/NAVY/ALH.html.

[edit] Interiors of civilian dhruv

Dilip Chhabria has designed the interiors of the civilian(VIP transport) version of Dhruv. [2] [3] What about the different versions of dhruv? Can aseparate section be made on that? Kaushal mehta 07:56, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Incidents

Refer to the section: 'Incidents', and the last sentence of the paragraph "The helicopter team performed in the air show.[citation needed]".

Pls be informed that am witness to the helicopter team "Sarang" performing at the Aero India 2007? Here are some of the pictures of Sarang: http://media.bharat-rakshak.com/aero/AeroIndia2007/Flying/HALDhruv

Also I can confirm that on 9-Feb-07 I spent 2 hours with the Sarang Aerobatic team (the same team that was in the air practicing on the fateful day) at that time the flight data from the black box indicated in great detail the fateful last moments, and the team consensus was that the crash was due to pilot error.

I hope you can now remove the citation needed tag form the article.
