Kaveri Engine

[Azaad]

While an afterburning Kaveri might produce 75kN, that is not enough thrust for it to be used in Mk1A, ,is it? More of a development exercise with no application than a useful engine.

It's just the first of the latest iteration - K 10. If this one clears testing & is duly certified , another iteration will be built tweaking it upwards till we get to ~ 55 KN Dry Thrust & ~ 82 - 85 KN Wet Thrust thereby getting it closer to GE F -404 TF output.

That's the final goal & we're a long way from it .

We gotta crawl first before we can walk and we gotta walk before we can run.

We gotta crawl first before we can walk and we gotta walk before we can run.

Its like someone wants their crawling baby to walk fast. But are too stingy to buy a walker for baby. They take their baby to Russia for diagnosis and the doctor their recommends walker sessions to check if baby responds. After few expensive Wal ker sessions doctor says baby is good can crawl may be take first steps in time, if given practice and nourishment. make our baby crawl.

But the parents come vack still don't buy walker and also keep baby malnourished on one hand - on other hand worry why baby is not walking. So after some 5ime they again devise plan - they plan again to take baby abroad to France paediatrician for checkup to know why it's not walking which in turn it recommends give nourishment, make baby crawl first and then use walker.

It's lab research. Still miles to go in productionizing. Midhani developed crystal blades more than decade back. But we never saw them in use.

The reason is probably this

Hence the new iteration we're building - K10. Apparently it'd result in some weight loss. To what extent ? We'd have to wait & find out .
