So can we say it will solve kaveri issue??

From what I know Kaveri has achieved it's original dry thrust goal of 50+ KN.
If this thing can help it achieved 85+KN of wet thrust then it will be almost ready for tejas mk1a, only lifetime flight hours test will remain, if it can achieve 5000+ hours we can say bye bye to f 404.

Hopefully the facilities, scientists etc involved are glow-nijjer proof



Otherwise you'll have mysterious explosion/fire at the plant, or maybe the most big-brained scientists meeting with accidents or dying of natural causes like the Nuclear scientists

I haven't heard CIA doing it in China in 2010's when they developing there own engines.
So very low chance of it Happening.

Right, this time govt is also different.

 

[BON PLAN]

That's the issue. Lot of info coming we developed many critical technologies but then why kaveri not usable??

Tejas Mk1 will be replaced on the assembly line by Tejas Mk2 before this Kaveri with AB be fully ready and mature. As Kaveri was late all was made to accomodate the Tejas frame with US engine, and now to change it to the initial Kaveri is not an easy and speedy task.

This Kaveri thrust will be a little bit short for Mk2....

I'm afraid to think it is too late for this engine. Now if it is really mature, use it to developp a Kaveri 2 with 95 or 100KN.

Can't we replace ge f 404, when their life cycle of ends in future ?, a fighter jet goes through multiple engines in life.

A bit too optimistic mitron ! Without even a FTB here we are just hamstrung and straitjacketed .

I mean we can use a tejas as test best, if fucking gov babu's allow it that is.
Tejas will actually be little bit overpowered in its flight compared to ge f404 in20 beacuse dry Kaveri has higher dry thrust than f404 in20.
Even if after burner version of Kaveri can't produce as much wet thrust as ge f404 in20 it will still do, as fighter jets use dry thrust majority of time.

My man, untested engines are never fitted on to a single engine fighter, if Engine fails it is a loss of a whole air frame. Twin engine fighter is always used as a test bed, they have to allocate a Mig 29 or a SU

Dry variant is already certified in russia.

I dont think anything is certified, It was tested on a cargo plane with 4 engines. SOP is to now put it on a twin engine fighter jet.

If your assessment is right, Kaveri dry/wet thrust characteristics sound better than F404.

If Tejas was designed to use Kaveri, I imagine that the Mk1A airframe can be easily modified for the physical installation of the engine in lieu of the F404. How about FCS? Unless Kaveri weighs the same, has the same CoG as F404 - which will not be the case - when will weight and CoG be known?

When will an Indian LCA with an Indian engine be certified? Spending 40 years on this and still not having done so is a joke.

Problem is the MIG29 itself does not have an engine certified for single engine operation. Its Rd33 was modified for single engine purpose, turned into rd93 which Porkies use in blunder. Still mig29 will be safer than LCA testbench.

In 2011 Kaveri weighed 1180 kg don't know if it became much lighter since then and f404 currently weighs 1073kg(9.1% less than kaveri in 2011) weight.
Another thing
"the F-404 engine can lose approximately 10% of its thrust output in hot and humid environments"
Kaveri is designed with keeping hot, humid, cold environments in minds.
