A lot, more than nuclear technology. It is closely guarded & in the hands of just a few nations- who refuse to share it with others. US doesn't share it's bleeding edge with its most allied allies.
Maybe the GoI trying to utilise some of the Safran's offset obligations into the engine JV. That way GoI saves some bucks upfront.When the sums involved in both JVs are about the same ~$6B, & RR was quite open and upfront with full IP transfer to India. They have a fantastic track record in cutting edge engine technology- right upto EJ200 and even Tempest engines (to the extent that Japanese are leaning on RR for some help). Then why are we not sealing the deal there?
UK to help Japan develop engine for F-X fighter
Britain and Japan are teaming up to develop the engine for the new Japanese F-X stealth fighter.ukdefencejournal.org.uk
What more can we expect the Britons to offer?
On the subject of future sanctions- i think both French and Brits are equally hairy.
Aren't we running through that money for French consultation with dry Kaveri for Ghatak?
Isn't france is going to develop FCAS engine with Germany
No. FCAS is a heavyweight fighter and for that they'll develop a F119 class engine with german and spanish engine maker. FCAS isn't entirely french program and they don't have all the say in it. Germany and Spain won't use an aircraft with an engine in whose development their own engine makers won't be a part of it even though they are spending 10s of billions of dollars.
Isn't that skipping one generation of performance in between? When are we going to move from Kaveri (~F404) to 414 to EPE class? Isn't that all we need all the way upto AMCA & TEDBF? Scope creep is a good way to kill a program. For the French also it will be their first outing with ADVENT engines.
They are unable to come to an agreement- Germany wants full access to all the research while the other two want IP protection
You talked also about morphing structure sort of tech also
Ya'll Nibbiars getting 5 th generation is challenging and you are talking about 6 th generation?.
well i want to know apart from colonial PTSD when we are leaving behind jugaad mentality
Ya'll Nibbiars never ever.
If it is a turboshaft then who is the private entity going to be? & why private? if it is about tech transfer for Aneto-1 turboshaft then why not pick HAL who has been making Ardiden 1H1 Shakti all these years under licence?
Some end moment bargains b/w RR and Safran maybe before they announce the jet engine partner in Aero India 2022?
AI is once every two years, next it will be in 2023, but your argument is totally plausible. It is a smart strategy to play these jet engine majors against each other for the best deal.
