LCA TEJAS MK-I & MK-IA: News and Discussion

[BON PLAN]

For a deal to be done between a buyer and a seller a price needs to be agreed between the parties.

1 The price cannot be below the lowest price at which the seller is prepared lo sell
2 The price cannot be above the highest price at which the buyer is prepared lo buy

In this situation (new engine) I think that India's highest price is below the lowest price of the seller. If I am right, the last ten years of negotiations have been a waste of time. as will all future negotiations be.

Without the parties shifting on price minima and maxima there will never be a deal on a new engine for AMCA.

Nothing more to add.
I fully agree.

Agree .. I kinda was playing with ChatGPT where I gave strict condition to source it from OEM sites only mentioning sites - after varying figures being spouted and several fine tuning I got the table. What you can do is pick HTML from previous post and make amends for EJ200 and M88.

Can't remember exactly where but In some interview someone said Tejas is going for Missile firing trials conducted by IAF.

[AMCA MK1]

IN20 version has 89kN thrust, power output reasons at 83-87kN in India I learnt.... Still kaveri is near 200kg heavier even if the thrust matched.

We should fix it on a drone without afterburner & moved on to Kaveri 2.

Source for this ?

Source for this ?

I think i asked Indranil, or HVT... Someone from IAF commented on F404V actual performance.

That's the reference
