Not much, it still has problems.
But India will be going for joint ventures for engines with US.
There is a new 425kgf
engine called MANIK under development to power UCAVs and UAVs. Under early stages.
For further demonstration of current engines and their possible integration with India's upcoming drones.
For technical demonstrations, MoD has released budget for a new Derivative of Kaveri Ghatak, to power the unmanned stealth bombers to be developed under DRDO's Unmanned Strike Air Vehicle (USAV) program which includes DRDO AURS too.
You can call it Indian counterpart of American B-21 Spirit, Russian PAK DA, Chinese Wind Blade or French Neuron.:biggrin2:
No spec is public domain is planned for AMCA till that. In fact, when it is planned and released, AMCA will be flying in the sky in 2-3 years.
I would suggest you guys to not believe in rumours.
110kN is not enough and not real. I provided you guys "OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS" where nowhere is written that thrust is going to be 110kN.

If we go by the specifications of AMCA from different sources, it has a range of 4500km and a Max. Take off weight capacity between 30-35 tonnes and it has to supercruise also. Over this, it is described as super maneuverable. So, we need an engine thrust of at least 140-150kN or even above.
Why?
PS. This thread is not about terrorists.
