1500 hp engine tested.
Finally! Ducking finally. It has been a decade.
Noob question. Can we use engines for tanks and IFV, in heavy military trucks?

IAC -1 , Vikrant has completed her basin trials. She will start her sea acceptance trials in early 2021 followed by induction into the Navy in mid 2022.
Most of the work on the superstructure is complete. The ELM-2248 MFSTAR arrays have been installed.
Fellas, can you see the HAL engineer in this pic? He's the OEM representative for the gas rurbines . HAL has assembled the LM2500 series gas turbine in country .

Ashok Leyland already uses the Neptune series of in house designed engines in it's Super Stallion series. The FAT meant for Dhanush and already in service uses this Neptune engine.
Tata uses Cummins engines in its 6 by 6 ,8x8 , 10x10 and 12x12 HMV.

Yep. INS Vikrant and INS Vikramaditya with their respective battle groups.
INS Chakra leading these two carriers. It will be a sight to watch .

Vikrant is one hell of a sexy ship, a catobar version of her would be mouth watering
Isn't LM2500 was licenced produced by L&T in past? has HAL reversed engineered it ?

We should be standardizing LM2500 engines across all our Naval platforms before electric propulsion takes over.
Reposting from another thread:

P-8I maritime patrol aircraft
weird combo of metal + indian music, slightly over the top, pretty cool in a way. Great that we are going to have a full squadron (18) of these awesome platforms fitted with the latest quipment thanks to COMCASA. Our scientists need to learn/reverse engineer components/algorithms/IP that they...
Stretched CATOBAR Vikrant with further design improvements and Indian designed aviation complex is what should be the Vishal. If agreements are signed now then the nuclear reactor can be made with Russian or French assistance. Even if the reactor is not as great as the US ones where it is fueled for the life of the ship, in our case it will serve the purpose.
Yes, but Sintex Water tank is still present on the top of MF-STAR.

No probably. Too big (it'd ve a great achievement if they did reduce the size that much!). Although T-72/90 were meant to get 1200+hp engines as MLU.
