Arunji,
1. When you say A-IIP S/S has higher energy fuel, do you mean higher energy than HTPB/AP/Al combo used by ISRO for PS-3 stage on PSLV ? [/quote]
No. Just that its higher then earlier version Agni-II
FRP is a generic name for all kinds of composite material, that includes the specific one that you named. As for specifics, why go there?
Quality process in engineering is different from production QC. This is still engineering IMHO.

Quote:Also, the A-IIP S/S is made of FRP rather than carbon-fibre. What is used in A-III F/S and A-V T/S ? Would it be FRP or kevlar/carbon fibre ?

Quote:4. Hope the current A-IIP failure is not due to QC. That would be more worrying than a (minor) design flaw like in A-III test 1. This failure is more severe going by news reports. I guess each new missile is an altogether new animal in some sense.
