France forced Germany to sign a deal avoiding that kind of problem already seen on Meteor, A400M...

"FCAS engine will be Franco-German-Spanish. Tempest is Brit. Neither of them are politically 400% reliable for the future. Germany's views are well known. Brit proclivities are all too familiar. Nothing beats going on your own. " =>FCAS engine will massively be french. The German and Spanish...

Single crystal blade is directly linked to your industrial capacity. I think SAFRAN can't easily produce GE crystal blades and so is the contrary. Apart selling you a whole metallurgy R&D lab and factory, it's not the right way.

Once you have a fully ready 73Kn one, it's is easier to evolved it to 85Kn.

See the CFM56 success : the hot core was and remain US, the cold parts are french. It's a huge success ! I think for India it's better to study and produce the cold part of a world wide engine than 100% of a very average one, no? I think a Indian-French engine may use the indian expertise in...

With Kaveri and its 30+ years R&D effort, you are at the door !

For exemple India may be a customer for a common AMCA - New Jet Fighter engine. To dispatch the R&D effort and cost by two is a good idea for France (because the NJF engine will massively be studied and produce by Safran) and India. To have a low cost and trustable supplier (India) for some...

Oppenheimer : pure american (despite a german name) Leo Szilard : Hungarian. Enrico Fermi : Italian Richard Feynman : pure american John Von Neumann : another hungarian Harlod Hurey : Canadian. The sole german was Einstein. He was decisiv in a therorical way, and not involved in practice.

What is this story ? alternate history? US used scientists of all the world to study the A bomb, and not speciffically GB ones.

I don't agree with you. India is probably the sole country where it is possible to have a clear deal of such an importance. France is a old supplier of India, India is a reliable customer, not trying to copy and paste as the Chinese... I see a bright future in the relation between France and...

A decade is a "normal" time to developp from scratch an engine.

I think France agree to help India. More than USA for sure. The mastery of engine tech is one of the most difficult to have. It is based on 60+ years of R&D effort and it not so easy to move away because relying on local R&D laboratories, materials suppliers etc... For exemple I think it may...

Good idea. Or as a gas turbine for supplying electricity.

You need a huge R&D financial and technical capacity to deal with engine technology. SAFRAN is among the smallest able do deal with, despite its 80000 employees and 25€ billions of turnover. => not easy to find these private players.

Probably. The hot core is the main sub system of an engine, with the more skill and know how. It is the crown jewel of the engine. When SNECMA and GE decided to built together the CFM56, the US government requested the hot core coming from F101 engine) to be made fully in USA, and cold part...

All is to fine fine definied in the contract. It's as simple as that. When HAL wanted to much from Dassault for MMRCA 1, no deal was inked. In the contrary if you ask too few you will have few.

Whay is the level of manufacture? Assembly of CKD kits? Some parts production? Full parts production?

ABSOLUTELY ! I had the opportunity 25 years ago to speak with the father of the SNECMA M88 (Mr André BARBOT), at the wedding of his son, a collegue of mine : he said me it's like sorcery. Only a couple of guys in the whole world have the skill, inspiration and experience to be able to fine...

Bon Plan, 23 route de Blois 41100 Vendôme France. (it's true. You can google it. A L shaped house with a swimming pool) They can send it by one of their famous UCAV. :tongue:

The first were studied with the decisiv assistance of german engineers pow. The first one ran in march 1948 (1T7 of thrust). but a direct derivative of german concepts.
