It was not scrapped. Parrikar is not retarded to cancel a project of this big magnitude. I have told this before. Media is not trust worthy. Kaveri engine project is still running. So much for it being scraped

"Scrapped"... Where is the official paper of that, if you could bring. Last I know at Aero India their has been "talk" on the development of Kaveri fresh 2016 end. Can you give the issues, it's details about how, why it occurs, what it's affect and why not they weren't able to rectify it(not the bs absence of testbed or complaining about the laziness type stronk) .
Why test bed is Bullshit? I am not able to understand your logic. Can an engine be completed without test bed?
You misunderstand him
Its equally important, but that is has been used for targeting the whole project, so I don't wanna the same excuse for that great personal thinking. I was just asking for paper.
This is really more than utter nonsense. Some people always want to make others think in a negative loop always. Kaveri engine was scrapped was nonsense from the beginning because the same engine was going to be put into UCAV.
I have been telling about this from the beginning.... Now the thing left is testing testing testing and more testing to make the things work the same way when you put that with the tejas. NEW GENERATION BLADES AND TEMPERATURE RESISTANT COATING etc and upgrades will be Normal talk from now on...... But the main hurdle remains until the engine is ported on to the plane....... May be 90kn or above come later to satisfy the fetish of IAF but whatever the engine which is 70,80,90,95kn should be put in a probably dual engine testbed and tested till every parameter is perfectly checked.......thats all should be expected.....
It doesn't matter what you claim or believe, since most of it are just personal opinions without any base. What is important are credible infos and facts, to get to an understanding of a topic. If you would inform yourself more about Rafale, Gripen, or Kaveri..., you wouldn't get corrected so often :
This is a very old news of 2015. After this deal was made with French for revival of Tejas as offset of Rafael deal. So now change your thought process and be positive. If you can't be positive, don't post negative at least.
Wrong, Kaveri engine was developed for fighters with afterburner capability, which is not required for UCAVs. Because the engine was not able to meet the required AB thrust for LCA, it still was offered by DRDO in a non AB varient for UCAVs, which however requires not much further development of the engine, except for the reliability issues, but the development of the UCAV in the first place.
Realists like me, understand that the country doesn't get anywhere on false dreams and hopes. Kaveri was a failure so far and now we can hope, that Safran can fix the problems and provides us with enough know how to improve our engine development base for future projects. If Kaveri / Snecma will have enough thrust to power LCA needs to be seen and not just expected. That's why it's crucial to keep Kaveri and Tejas developments separate, until the engine is ready, reliable and offers enough thrust.
The definition of scrapping means that the project is no longer existing. But Kaveri engine project is still ongoing. So, what is the real deal? What effect did this scrapping have on Kaveri engine? If there is no effect, what is the point?
This is not old news, but relevant information to understand where the project was, who put it on hold and why. It's not meant to be positive nor negative, but informative!
The effect was, that it was not meant for any fighter anymore, until Safran offered help via Rafale offsets!
How do you know that there was no scope? Is Safran some kind of angel who will simply help India by giving the highest ToT?
Oh man do you just know the afterburner efficiency of kaveri engine...... Better you know it first...... Before ranting.
And that's your problem, you only see things how you want them to be, not how they really are. When the former DRDO chief confirms that the project got scrapped and even states "with no realistic solutions, it's better to move on", you claim the opposite, but that doesn't make it true.
Read the reports I gave of the IAF committee, or the Safran Chief, which makes it clear that the aim is on using the M88 core, which means it's not fine tuning at all, but transfering a foreign heart into our base engine. And even the M88 ECO core was aimed only at 90kN thrust, which actually would be lower than required for LCA, while the 110kN for AMCA would require a further developed core as well. So still a lot of work to be done, with dedicated test and certifications, while the outcome is uncertain so far.
