Wind energy usually means elaborate set up with wind turbines stretching along the horizon. But Usha-Urja, a humble device indigenously developed by Indian Air Force harvests wind energy almost out of nothing, an officer said. Jostling for space among the Aero India 2025's eye-catching innovations, this humble contraption may not be worth a second glance for many. But this equipment creates electricity at high altitudes and extreme cold weather conditions when plugged into a generator that sits compactly in a military-edition suitcase. Usha-Urja's 'wind turbine' makes use of what looks like two split open PVC pipes twisted into an awkward shape onto a base that can be expanded. This is part of the indigenous innovations of IAF being displayed at Aero India 2025 show on till February 14 at Yelahanka Airforce Base, Bengaluru.

A senior Indian Coast Guard official has called for design re-evaluations of the Advanced Light Helicopter after one of the military choppers of the maritime security agency crashed in Gujarat earlier this month, killing three. ICG Inspector General and Regional Commander (West) Bhisham Sharma said on Thursday that ALH has been in the service for the past 20 years and the Coast Guard has the Mark III version of the indigenous helicopters called Dhruv. We have undertaken extensive flying operations. I have myself taken a ferry (helicopter ride) from Agatti to Minicoy and from Minicoy to Kavaratti (in Lakshadweep) again. It is a wonderful machine but few incidents certainly call for some design re-evaluations," he told reporters in Mumbai. He said Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd, the ALH manufacturer, is working on it.
