Airbus Industrie to use LCA software

By Our Staff Reporter

BANGALORE, JUNE 2. The aviation major, Airbus Industrie, has chosen the composite software developed by the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) team for its A380 600-seater passenger aircraft, the LCA Project Director, Dr. Kota Harinarayana, said today.

The Airbus Industrie was expected to sign an agreement later this month with the Government to use the software, a spinoff of LCA technologies, Dr. Harinarayana told presspersons here.

He said the Indian software was chosen after a 12- month evaluation of similar software developed across the world. The LCA software was developed by the team of Dr. Prakash and Dr. Shastri.

Dr. Harinarayana said the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA), the key constituent of the LCA project, was also looking for an international partner for the composite software developed by its scientists. Now the software is being marketed by the Parametric Technology Corporation (PTC), a leading international CAD-CAM company.
