@SavageKing456 which engine have they used to make the CAD drawings ? Seems m88 ish , is it kind of random or they are using m88 to base their specs upon

Maybe it's for representation after all?

[not so dravidian]

Attended a webinar based on gas turbine engine development in India,based on that I'm listing few presentations

•We have developed& both scb(single crystal blade) and titanium compressor disk.

In house design methods developed and validated
There are some key gaps which need to be fulfilled and where investments have been made.

Material configuration of kaveri engine

Since 80s we have come very far when it comes to aero engine components,we now have designed,developed and manufactured aero engine components which are required for 4th gen aero engine but to raise standards to even upto 5th gen some key gaps need to be addressed which they're working on.

•Test bed
View attachment 134557
Sad to say but we still do not have the high altitude testbed for testing engines we need 2 years to just sign contract and paper stuff for altitude tests to a foreign country which increases the development time.

•Kaveri problems
View attachment 134559

These were the problems kaveri engine faced during its development time,but good news is all of these problems have been successfully solved which boosts our confidence.

Throttle handling of kaveri at any position has been successfully demonstrated in dry kaveri it's a good success.
They're targeting more by eventually going a generation ahead with materials and other stuff,eventually increase thrust by weight which depends on higher TET like 1900K or so.
Good news is
28 acres of land is sanctioned for setting up tesbed of higher class engine like that of AMCA and even 120kn,once contract is signed it will take 3-4 years to be commissioned and be operational.
Regarding altitude test facility it needs about 60-70 acres of land with huge power like 90Mega watt gtre tried to to acquire land in telangana but plans did not go well.

I have a doubt.
1. k9(right now) doesn't support BLISK.
2. Does this support SCB?

I remember @porky_kicker posting a CFD, of a supposed new redesigned K9, which wud support BLISK and SCB. PKS too says the same, but albeit with ceramic blades and ng ceramic coating.

@BrigadierRPS @SavageKing456 have any idea about this??

BTW, take care of yourself

Amca engine
View attachment 134588View attachment 134589View attachment 134590

Now initially I think they will go for component level for amca engine then partner up with foreign countries for mission based.

I am not well and the webinar has happened for two days on 28,29(today)
28 one was 8 hour long and 29 is ongoing(god knows how much)
So it's impossible to collect and put the information here so I'm giving links there's actually damn good info out there

Videos are now private though I watched them but couldn't take the screenshot.

i think within a decade we will be seeing anti-personnel drones .

imagine RR releasing a couple of these small autonomous drones against a terrorist hiding inside a building

they fly in around , seek out a target and explode.

why a decade, it's possible within a year of IA making up their mind and prepare a GSQR.
as someone pointed out last time i made this suggestion (small drone with a fist sized munition), IA will also have to think about counter measures if they intend to go in this direction.

1000 drones were used in the event .

FMBT turbocharger is undergoing testing
View attachment 134657

Seems like strike aricraft Ghatak is being realised for taxing(seems like bigger prototype)

What is this "TC" for FMBT?

 

[Kalkioftoday]

What is this "TC" for FMBT?

Turbo Charger. It acts like afterburner for diesel engine

 

[Vamsi]

Videos are now private though I watched them but couldn't take the screenshot.

Any more details you can share , like JV or how they gonna achieve 1950K TeT for 110KN engine etc ?

Now they're not even opening...anybody made any backups??

There was hell lot of information on cooling, afterburner, distortion tolerance, engine control, Manufacturing, simulations, metallurgy , testing etc..

Oh crap
They made it private
FFS rip man
Now all info lost?

I think it will go to the 1000hp engine for FMBT

May be anyone downloaded them try to find out.

Fak i had done through 2hrs. Have saved some screenshots
