Kaveri Engine

Can't ISRO help DRDO make engines? I mean ISRO has some of the top brains and high success rates.

DRDO also has equally top brains .
And ISRO is working on scramjet engines .

Between DRDO and ISRO and also other such institutions, the sharing of ideas, I was told, does take place.

Movement of people may or may not because of different focus of all these institutions.

yes , Engines based on kaveri can be can be used in other type of aircrafts too ......

not only aircrafts but naval ships & railways too , Infact Indian Railways & Indian navy are using kaveri based engines .

DRDO Aura will use a non afterburner variant of kaveri engine .

Using ?

Railways is planning on using not even a prototype developed

A turbofan engine on railway , I don't get it , how ?

A New jet propulsion lab will be jointly set up with IIT Mumbai and IIT Madras : Parrikar

Union Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar on Saturday said the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) can have a tie-up with the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs).

“We have signed an agreement with DRDO for jet propulsion lab which is to be jointly set up with IIT Mumbai and Madras, the total cost of which is about Rs 160 crore,” Parrikar said after inaugurating the IIT Goa campus in presence of Union HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar.

Some 8,000 scientists of DRDO can be a big resource for the educational institutes, Parrikar said, adding, “We can teach. We can select a few scientists who have done top-end research (for teaching).”

On the quality of research at DRDO, the Defence Minister, himself an IIT graduate, said in the next one or two years the country would not need to import any part of its missile technology, adding, “We will be in the position to manufacture it here. We can have tie-ups with IITs, including Goa IIT, after a couple of years, to develop something, Parrikar said, adding, DRDO laboratories can be used for summer vacation training of IIT students.

“We can tie-up with DRDO to get visiting faculty in various subjects which can give proper adoptable technological edge in education,” he added.

The defence minister, himself a former chief minister of Goa, at the inauguration said that the state should not be clubbed with other Union Territories for reservation at the technology institutes. He also said that IIT Goa shall be holding a 50 per cent reservation for the local population, a quota which will shared with Daman and Diu, Dadra and Nagar Haveli.

Turboshaft version. Something similar to KMGT for Indian Navy.

Trains and Ships do not have as tight a need to save space and weight.

But their requirement is for very very long durability engines that can give sustained power for signficantly longer than aircraft turbofans.

Jet engines are more complex than rocket engines. Because the former are meant for multiple reuse, while latter are mostly mean to be discarded after single use. Hence, more exotic alloys, casting techniques are required in case of Jet Engines. In rockets, DRDO too has similar stellar record as ISRO. To understand, you need to just look at India's missile arsenal.

GTRE plans to set up new Twin Test Cell to test Aero engines up to 130 kN thrust class

According to Request for Information (RFI) tender issued by Gas Turbine Research Establishment which idrw.org has gone through seeks Request For Information (RFI) from leading Original Equipment Manufacturer of Aero Gas turbine Test Facilities to “set-up a Twin Test Cell” for aero gas turbine engines up to 130 kN thrust class on “No Cost No Commitment Basis”.

According to tender documents GTRE intends to test engines with Axi-symmetric nozzles and engines with Thrust Vectored Nozzles (TVN) in the proposed test cells. The vendor shall furnish necessary proof that they have carried out design and established test cells for developmental aero gas turbine engines of equivalent thrust capacity or higher for aero gas turbine OEMs.

What is an aero gas turbine test cell?

In a test cell, Engineers simulate the situation of the engine on the aircraft wing. The engine is installed in a thrust frame, similar to the pylon construction of an aircraft where the engine is mounted.

This thrust frame is instrumented to record all the required data needed to monitor a test. It is mounted to the test facility in a locked position to prevent forward motion. During the test, the engine is operated over a range of engine speeds.

In a test cell following are also tested
fuel consumption;
oil consumption;
rotor speeds;
vibration levels pressures and temperatures at various locations of the engine.

130 know engine from where did that come up, is there any secret project to make engines . hope we complete the Kaveri engine first for Tejas Mk1 and Mk2.

this is a test facility with a capacity to test Aero engines up to 130 kN thrust class ..........................it does not mean we are making 130k class engines ...........................we can test 100kn or 50kn engines too .

Actually, GTRE started working on 110-130 KN class derivative of Kaveri a long time ago. It even had a tender (for purchasing parts) in open with the specification of said class of turbofan.

Dump Kaveri and move on!

It has already taken thirty years and would take another thirty.

Yep agree with you, we should dump all Sr leaders who has taken 15-20 years of experience to become leaders (dont take it sarcastic way) to travel 10 KM you have to start from zero...

India, US to discuss jet engine technology

Apart from expected inking of the India-US agreement on sharing “military logistics”, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar shall discuss jet-engine technology development with the US during his three-day (August 29-31) visit commencing tomorrow.

The Jet Engine Technology Joint Working Group (JETJWG) comprising officials of the two countries has already concluded its terms of reference for cooperation in this area. The matter will be discussed when Parrikar meets his US counterpart Ashton Carter in the US.

The Indian side is hopeful that a formal agreement on logistics exchange memorandum of agreement (LEMOA) will be signed. In April, the two countries had announced in New Delhi the decision to conclude LEMOA. LEMOA is the new name for the Logistics Support Agreement (LSA), which the two countries have been discussing for over a decade.

What has been okayed is a re-jigged version of the LSA, a cast-in-iron framework, which the US was keen on getting India to sign. India asked the US to make it India-specific and not the standard LSA draft, which the US has with its allies like the UK.

New Delhi reserves the discretion to withdraw in case it feels the US had gone to war with a country that India sees as a friend.

The two countries have agreed upon the text for the agreement and this will, however, not entail “positioning of the US troops on Indian soil”. LEMOA will cover four aspects — training, exercises, port calls and the humanitarian assistance. It will be facilitator as earlier matters of refuelling and repair were considered on case-to-case basis.

In case of jet-engine technology, the US told India in December last year that it had changed its policy on gas turbine engine technology transfer, allowing technology to be shared with Indian companies.

The move, if it comes through, will change the way India makes engines for its warships and fighter jets. Gas turbine engines are largely used in big warships for the Navy and have a big market.

Forty-seven naval ships are under construction and each needs at least two such engines — costing millions of dollars.

He could have used his calculator to give decimal values for 1/27 & 1/16!!!
Strange explanation from you

You could have asked @Chinmoy what was on his mind. 27/100 is definitely more than 1/27 :biggrin2:
