AMCA - Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (HAL)

What stands out is that a major chunk of 4 billion dollars development funding will go to engine development. This is very good news.

it will be good if it happens ,for contingency isn't ge providing epe version ,i know it isn't operational but it is planned

That will need funding to the tune of billions. Only after that EPE will be ready.

better to go for safran or rr for jv

Posting in this thread because it is about AMCA's engine, Not Kaveri. I think we need a dedicated thread for 110KN engine

A good thread every one should read it.



So, buliding blocks for the engine are being developed

Why are we not dancing with the news of 83kN thrust Kaveri?

Equivalent in USA would be 91.3kN!! That's nearly 414 territory! No idea how it fares with engine life/MTBF/TBO etc. But still!

As per Vaimaniki of BRF, this was confirmed to him by GTRE scientists way back in Aero India 2017 itself.

That's Ganga right

 

[THESIS THORON]

That's Ganga right

NOPE

 

[THESIS THORON]

That's Ganga right

ganga will be in territory of al41fp

 

[Vamsi]

ganga will be in territory of al41fp

Ganga doesn't exist as of now officially atleast. We don't know anything about it. So, let's keep our hopes about it low

 

[India Super Power]

ganga will be in territory of al41fp

Sir, if max thrust is 83KN then 50% higher is 124.5KN
And that's what is Ganga

Then why were those ex-IA gentlemen bad mouthing Kaveri on Frank Periera's show? "It throws off its blades" iirc. BTW, what would IA veterans know about GTREs programs??

call me bro or tag me, but pls don't call me sir.

no it is not ganga, it was just a concept, and ganga is not engine it is hot core like kabini.

if kabini had been working fine then the next iteration was ganga core

Yes, it had those problems, but most of them were completely solved as of now , hence we are going ahead for Ghatak UCAV.

Ganga is not core, it is a completely new engine build around the Kabini core.But as I said earlier we knew nothing about it.So let's keep our hopes low

But 50% more thrust means 124.5KN this in al41p class right

 

[THESIS THORON]

But 50% more thrust means 124.5KN this in al41p class right

it is al31fp not al41fp.

al41 is used in su35, it has better sfc, uses plasma ignition.

 

[India Super Power]

Sorry bro typo error I actually meant al31fp
But is it in that class or not
