Jaguar is a twine engine aircraft. It's a twine engine aircraft. Dry thrust.

Ofcourse. It is 64/98 Dry or wet?

I have read 3 figures. 60, 62 and 64 I wenr with most conservative.

If you put a 85 kn dry thrust engine in LCA, it can beat any other plane in the world in T/W ratio. 85 KN is too much for a 6.5 ton plane which is set to loose atleast 500 kg. Most probably it will be unnecessary. Even 60 KN dry thrust of GE 414 shall be more than enough for Tejas to give it...

More than powerful to power plane like sitara. Its proposed 40 KN/62.5 kn engine shall be more than powerful to power Jaguar and twin engine LCA.

We can use this in Jaguar and in twin engine LCA as required by navy. We can use this in HAWK sort of aircraft also.

We are at a stage where we can rectify all those flaws and make it a worthy plane. What we need is an aggressive perusal of the program.

A derivative of HTEF 25 is in making with higher thrust may be in range of 35 to 40 KN. when this is made, we shall be able to power Jaguar and twin engine tejas with that and that will give both the planes a big boost in T/W rati. We shall be able to make a Twin engine tejas acceptable to Navy.

May be when it is operational.

It is almost done as per saurav Jha in one of his twit.

yes true...............................

If dry thrust is 25 KN than it is great. I appreciate that but than once again it will be an over powered engine fro the planes like Sitara. Where shall we use this engine? May be in twin engine Tejas? It is unlikely. It can not fit anywhere else except Jaguar and we are planning get much more...

When Parrikar was there to see this engine, I had advocated same on the thread. If we get a more powerful variant of this engine, Say 40 KN, we may use it in Jaguar as well.

Last year in December state-owned HAL completed successfully inaugural run of its 25 kN indigenous Aero Engine (HTFE 25) in the presence of Raksha Mantri Manohar Parrikar at HAL’s Engine Division . After the function, CMD of HAL T Suvarna Raju briefed Media and said that Hindustan Turbo Fan...
