India has to indigenised itself. That is where the 110kN engine development coming in. It will never be given by other countries

That will be Indian engine fitted MWF. F414 fitted MWF will roll out by 2028-30 and have limited series production. Once Indian engines of 110kN get ready, by 2034, new planes will be rolled out

Why are you whining when you know Turkey has no real indigenous technology and just imports & assembles to do stunt for Erdogan's PR KAAN is worse than Mig21 in current state and will remain worse than Mig21 unless Turkey uses most of the components imported from west. What is there to say "at...

Is 15 crashes in 25 years (20 years after induction) too big? Also, not all the crashes are due to engine failures. Some could be due to FBW failure, bird ingestion etc too. Merely stating that China hides the data is not a good argument.

Instead of living in fantasies and believing the same baseless fakenews for decades despite them always turning out to be false, why don't you calm down and wait for actual results rather then merely keep writing big articles conjured up by the author's fantasies? Keep calm and wait till...

The UPA era was a major blackhole in defence. Astra missile was under ground testing for 11 yesrs from 2003 to 2014-5 when it was flight tested. This doesn't mean the technology is bad or India is incapable but simply means that there was political sabotage. Even airforce was given insufficient...

I agree that the tooling and Technology for Al31 is different from F414. But my point is that there is hardldy anything that India will learn from it. India needs ToT as a foundation for indigenous engine, not merely to service foreign engine. If your idea of indigenisation is kerely import of...

This is your fantasy without basis. How many Russian Sukhoi 30s have crashed due to engine? Really? India read planning on Kaveri engine till 2007 with an MToW of 11.5 tons to replace Mig21. Last I remember 2007 was UPA era. Hahahaha! Is this a joke? The transition to f404 was mdhe in 2007-8...

That is what youbare doing. No one even talked about Al41. India is not buying it as Russia won't give TOT for it. Also India made several substitution for Al31 which replaced Russian parts with Indian to make it fully indigenous. RD33 is also overhauled by India. It is not a mess merely...

Answering to the context is not changing goalpoast. But making one's own propaganda statement just to win arguments is shifting goalpost. How did you conclude that Al31F or RD33 is outdated? Is it because it suits your fantasy? Why do you think F16 still runs on F100 engines as it is similar to...

No, mere time alone will not magically give technology. There is a saturation limit for everything. EJ200, F414 etc are of similar technology and have similar twr.

Why is the TWR for AMCA engine mentioned as >10? How is it even practical to have such expectations? Even F135 has just over 10 TWR and that too with counter rotation turbines. Also, Kaveri engine is shown as 72.5kN thrust whereas DRDO says it is 80kN class engine. What is the actual truth?

What is India's benefit by helping GE grow in India? India does not want MRO or assembly plants. The whole point of having defence equipments is to fight wars. If India can't fight wars unless USA agrees with it, it makes little sense to have defence equipments at all. Moreover, all of India's...

Which presentation is this? When was the date this was shown?

There is technical difference - IPR means official ownership whereas raw material stage manufacturing means unofficial ownership. But this is purely a trust factor based relation and has no hard difference. Considering that India already makes all the assemblies, tooling etc, it is trivial and...

Raw material stage manufacturing is IPR transfer itself. India has IPR of Al31F engines, for example. The only reason india does not sell them is due to relations with Russia.

I don't think Kaveri is using American blade material. Also, India already makes Al31F with 1700K TET and OPR 23. So, if anything, the Kaveri engine should have at least 1700K temperature and OPR 23. If OPR was significantly lower, the air intake should also be lower as less air is taken in due...

You are right on target. Any article or comment that states USA to give full ToT to make core engine and the FADEC codes should be considered as "Satire" and must not be taken seriously

Are you saying that somehow that 200kg will be too high for a plane with MToW of 23tons and empty weight of 11tons? The engine is not a standalone part that will fly on its own. Also, the specifications for Kaveri are very old and hypothetical when it was not fully functional. The airflow of...

That is not fully correct. IPR means you become the owner. But the IPR is enforced at international level by preventing the full TOT as no other means can be used to prevent break of IPR agreement. What if USA imposes sanctions on India but India having the full knowledge and expertise of making...
