HE he he, you have to shoot your mouth any way without even thinking. Kaveri as an engine has proved itself. It can be used in other applications. Some how your posts are becoming more juvenile with less substance.

By seeing these news we have achieved a major feet, we are able to make an engine with 50-100 hour MTBF, with much lesser funding then our beloved neighbor. I don't think we can not use it in manned aircraft, only thing we might need to do is keep a huge inventory of spare engines which can be...

Kaveri turbofan programme seeks extension - SP's Aviation

I posted the one year old link yesterday, sorry forgot to put the comments. The Kaveri is getting validated now after the initial testing is done, this will validate the engine core and overall engine functions. Now with the Rafale is as good as home, it seems we are looking for a bigger...

Overall, we can say that GTRE is able to come up with a working engine. Now they need to improve over it, and with feverish pace, as this is the cutting edge of the technology. With new test facilities coming up, the time for testing will reduce, which in turn will fasten the pace of development

^^ It is not that simple, apart from modification, you need to have corresponding instrumentation to collect the test data. There is no such facility with us as of now. Until we invest in those areas, we have to go there for tests

I guess the governer has to be kept on, to make sure that the end product is what customer needs and the design goals are meet. But we both can make guesses only. Kaveri overweight is more to do with materials, so with Snecma should be able to help in those areas. Overweight happens, like for...

GK I guess this figure is with reheat thrust, but Kaveri is a flat rated engine, so your observation about comparable to GE 404 is correct to large extent. Silver lining is that we have a decent engine and it works. Also as mentioned in the report, clearly the over ambitions have been carved...

well some figures came out: http://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/technology/article1127075.ece

Rahul I suspect this is just speculation at this time. French would like to close the deal asap, but I think our side will be waiting for test results data, so that they can negotiate on better footing.

No if you see Kaveri goals, it is supposed to provide an engine equal to current GE 404 engines. SO 65 KN figure quoted by ajai is wrong here (dry/wet thrust?). I suggest to wait for the thrust figures to get disclosed after the testing. A flat rated engine will provide same power irrespective...
