Please move to http://defenceforumindia.com/forum/threads/kaveri-engine.5097/ for further discussion.. By the way, GTRE planned 59.6 million USD as development cost for Kaveri-GTX but they already invested more than 10 times of planned, before Safran attachment.

1. Plan to introduce the m88 core in Kaveri-GTX is not a permanent solution for a indigenous engine. 2. M88 core is opted to urgently reduce the reliability on imported engines. (I'm point out f404 for mk1a), It(JV) will be converted into further joint projects. 3. Totally indigenous Kaveri-GTX...

My source about kaveri is from GTRE, Banglore. Will not reveal anything extra about him. Its all upto you to believe on update or not... Good Day...

Both are running in parallel... As of now...

Nearly 1.5 months ago, I'd an update that Safran-GTRE ready to ship Safranized kaveri to france for testing. Hope, They did the same and we may expect some info from overseas... Atleast, you may except LCA with Kaveri for a static display at AI19 KO and I10 is different story anyways..

First they will be tested on airborne test lab like if Engine performance will be satisfactory than they go for fighter jet prototype for final test and certification like they did the same with M2K and other french SE Fighters. Yes, the present air inlet can sustain the required airflow for...

It is the same as one of the civilian pilot design and develop a 6 seater Aircraft on its own. LSA/MSA has nothing to do with GoI/DPSUs. LSA/MSA is a private and unofficial project for Stealth Fighter lead by self-claimed ex-Navy pilot. We need to respect others efforts in defense developments.

Passed tests till now and some more tests ahead for full scale production...

power of Turbine engines for ships and surface vehicle (like Abram M1 tank) is calculate in Kilowatts. This technology is also used in Helicopter engines. These engines don't have afterburner and thurst. It only deliver its power through output shaft.

Bro, you have to study the history of KAVERI ENGINE. In 1986, the Indian Defence Ministry's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) was authorized to launch a programme to develop an indigenous powerplant for the Light Combat Aircraft. GTRE had developed the GTX37-14U...

For B : its was a joint development of thurst vectoring Nozzles by GTRE & KLIMOV. Russians have nothing to do with the Engine tech. For C: it was already put in the cold bag under Obama regime. Both parties go under negotiation but will no fruitful results come out of it.

According to me, the other parallel modification is persued by UK's rolls Royce based on EJ220 (I'm not sure, its my speculation). I'll share the Update as soon as I got the Same. AMCA's progress is not secret and available in public. Its full scale model is under Production for the stealth...

Rosoboronexport is a state mediatory agency for Defense projects. Or you can say it is the russian marketing agency for Defense projects

Yup, its correct. KLIMOV & GTRE are developing TVN since 2015 to modify the produced Kaveri Engine. Russians have no extra engagement in KAVERI except TVN. As I posted before, it is also confirmed that there are two parallel modification processes are persued. But I'm unable to get the details...

Here , I'm talking about the RAFALE as the only consumer of M88. Originally, the M88-4E can generate the wet thurst of upto 87Kn but due to the smaller air intakes the engine is able to deliver only 83kn max thurst to RAFALEs. To get full efficiency of M88-4E Dassault have to modify and...

You replied to a sarcastic question. I know the importance of Kaveri to India but I was clearing the facts to Mr. Vijyes

Munition attached with the craft via pylon rails. the below pic have rail launch system Here, these are pics of Ejector launch pylons. On these pylons, munitions are attach via hooks

Bomber may no be the exact classification for AURA/Ghatak. Ghatak UCAVs will have rail-launching for the missiles, bombs and PGM.

actually, I already described it clearly that at some open sources , they called ghatak as derivative of Kaveri. (it may have very less possibilities. GHATAK is the name of UCAV whereas AURA is the acronym of Program. Its very similar to Tejas and LCA. Clarification about GHATAK Program...

Do you know that Avenger UAV have Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545B with only 17.75KN thurst. Do you know, French nEUROn UAV has Rolls-Royce/Turboméca Adour / Snecma M88 with only 40KN thurst. Do you know, NG RQ-4 has Rolls-Royce F137-RR-100turbofan engine with only 34KN thurst. Do you know, LM...
