Area ruling is the reason. Read up on Whitcomb's Area ruling rule.I know it's laughable but I always felt why this space is left instead of using it for fuel tanks or like CFTs.
Hope u get it

Nobody will share their "crown jewels", especially with authoritation, non-free, communal, "fake democracy" country like India.
Forget Technology (Its a farce it is never more then SREWDRIVER) you are now facing problems in even getting PLANE VANILLA ENGINES.Nobody will share their "crown jewels", especially with authoritation, non-free, communal, "fake democracy" country like India.
Our best bet to get engine tech was from the randikhana that was RusFed right after the collapse of the USSR in the 90's, in those days before KGB James Bund took over, everything was for sale.
Now that door is also closed
It is not just temperature but maintaining constant high rotation without vibrating at high operating temperature which is something that AL-31 can but Kaveri cannot.
The vibration problem and high sound at full throttle were solved with the help of snecma (now Safran) the fact that its dry thrust of kaveri is 52kn itself is a big achievement and wet thrust of 81kn.
Will it last for 40 years as f404 does?
Russia has another logic than west one : they want rustic and affordable weapons, so they assume not to have world top standards.
Strap it to a fukcin Mig29 already...
Well life is not calculated on years its on hours.
Russian equipment is cheaper to buy but very expensive in long term. Simply there spares do t last that much compared to western counterparts the overhaul time of engines is very low compared to western counterparts..
Our babus will not let this happen.
Length might be some issue, but diameter is no biggy, I bet at some point even French would've tested their m88 on Rafales while having one ge404 in the parallel.Well life is not calculated on years its on hours.
F404 had 3000-4000 hrs back then in 2010s.
Now some say f404 variant we using has a life of 6000-7000hrs..and overhaul time of 4000hrs. Gtre has not opened up what is life of kaveri. Nobody knows
The life of engine largely depends on how capable SINGLE CRYSTAL BLADES we have made....gtre has done alot of work on it it seems that kaveri will not have engine life less than a rd33. As r33 does not use SCB still it has life of 4000hrs (some might say It's 2200hrs because it's of rd93 variant of rd33 ,reduced life to compensate thrust for jf17)..
Both rd33 & kaveri are quite similar engines in terms of thrust rd33. But as it does t have strong SCB it has to use 4 LP stages & 9 HP stages..
Russian equipment is cheaper to buy but very expensive in long term. Simply there spares do t last that much compared to western counterparts the overhaul time of engines is very low compared to western counterparts..
Our babus will not let this happen.
Testing it on mig29 is not going to be easy it will not fit on that. Engines are modular to fit on any aircraft. Both have different dimensions kaveri is smaller in diameter & length it will require alot of changes in mig 29. If it is done it's worth rather than testing on single engine aircraft as even if kaveri fails we won't loose the aircraft

Sankalan is a clown , he peddles lots of garbage and very regularly.
It is something we often forget when we want to purchase a car, a washing machine, etc... THE PRICE OF SPARE PARTS.
It is not about Sankalan, it is about TWR, go and check it.
It's even bigger comedy if he is comparing TWR. You can check TWR of all 3
