This should have happened right after 98 when the Americans were sanctioning us for the nuke tests, especially the Aero Engine Commission. Look how far ISRO got under the Space Commission. Let's see if this results in the expedited development of a High Altitude Engine Test Facility, a...

People have been talking about a flying testbed for over a decade now. It's ridiculously demoralizing how GTRE still doesn't have one after years of begging for an IL-76.

Also look at the DDR exclusive images of the SCBs, the first time I've seen images of Indian SCBs with cooling holes.

Absolutely, GTRE doesn't even have flying test beds to test the said powerplants. Hell, they don't even have various types of ground based testing facilities. Only a year or 2 back did I see DRDO float an international tender for building some high-altitude testing facility. The fact that...

On being asked about the Kaveri engine, Dr Reddy said it would be used on UAVs. “It is not being shelved.” Notably, Kaveri’s thrust is about 75 Kn and 90 Kn is desired to power a fighter jet...

A 110 KN class low-bypass turbofan engine will be developed by DRDO possibly with foreign support for the AMCA programme.

There were some preparations being done for a 130kN engine a few years back.

Engineers by the way of scientific papers, question and analyse systems they have no access to and even those, that aren't even prototyped yet, info on Kaveri on the other hand is widely available and papers on it also present. Anyone with the requisite engineering experience willing to prove...

That is just circular logic. What makes Kaveri a VCE is that GTRE a DRDO lab tested it and says that Kaveri is a VCE with the said geometries. I’m sorry, but I don’t see any complaints from any legitimate 3rd party, so it’s your word against DRDO’s. If you have a research paper that...

All these variable geometries I mentioned do make the Kaveri a variable cycle engine, according to your own link that is, but we’ll get to that. A Variable Stream Control Engine too possesses a twin spool. This whole bit is a compositional fallacy. If you segregate the characteristics and...

You are wrong xxxx about the 'volume of air flow' bit, and now this xxxxx post kind of suggests you are arguing just for the sake of arguing. Anyways, let's get into the crux of the issue. Firstly, the point is to get the engine to perform with optimum efficiency and respective thrust at...

Oh boy, here comes the comedy. Where in the article I posted does it state "changing the volume of air flow"? Why don't you lie through your teeth more, it'll save some of that superiority complex from shattering. Technically there's some manipulation of the airflow to get the desired results...

VCEs as a concept has existed long since the 70s. Kaveri engine has been specifically designed for Indian environment. The engine is a variable cycle-flat-rated engine in which the thrust drop due to high ambient, forward speed is well compensated by the increased turbine entry temperature at...

Kaveri is no ordinary turbofan. It is a varable cyle engine with full FADEC has low bpr and is flat rated. How many chinese turbofans are VCEs?

As per the DRDO annual report.

Foreign expertise key to fire up India's jets While India has managed to create a fourth-generation jet fighter, it is yet to perfect a low-bypass turbofan (LBTF) engine that can power an aircraft of this class. Indeed, without mastering contemporary jet engine technology, India’s objective of...

Lets hope so. This tech is friggin ellusive af, more countries can make nukes but not proper turbofans. Pouring in more money is the only way we are going to get turbofans.
