#BreakingNews DRDO to abandon Kaveri project.

[gslv mk3]

It didn't achieve what it was supposed to do. It didn't replace the 250+ aging Mig 21's. IAF is not in a mood to induct it rather it is being forced down their throat. I hope it doesn't end up in a mess just as kaveri was said to power drones.

well,its on its way.And who tolld you IAF is not in a mood to induct it ?

Kaveri is dead. RIP. But it was expected is not it?

Its Back to basics for GTRE after Kaveri Engine is scrapped | idrw.org

GTRE just confirmed three engine projects
1) 20 kn for uav

2} 40 kn for umanned bomber

3) at planning stage 115 kn for future requirement

Say whatever you like, but you cannot ignore the fact that this government is taking decisions and very fast at that.
I mean look how it bit this bullet.
I wish that before we start a new engine project, we should first get the testbed and other infrastructure for it.
Kaveri should be sent to IITs to learn from it.
The biggest problem was the lack of a flying testbed and we had to wait until the Russian gromov testbed was available.

exactly this is more important ..........
and what i think they have shelved the any further improvement of kaveri ...not stopping developing of a new aero engine

@sandy_3126 buddy your comments on the topic plz

Most likely there will be a new engine program deployed soon.

Most likely there will be a new engine program deployed soon.

It should not be from scratch then, and instead take on an existing design and then flow with it.

Of course there will, something with a new name that will not remember everybody on their failure with Kaveri. But starting a new one doesn't mean they will be successful now.

I think we both know that nothing today is built from scratch. I am just hoping that this time they come out of the wonderland and plan something realistic and achievable. I would be very happy if they could plan an engine that can get close to a F110-GE100 scheme....... a close second would be M88 Snecma..

What is important is to know the reasons for failure. Where it went wrong, what issues were encountered and where the delays were other than engineering or design related.

 

[JaiShriAllahNath]

Exactly !!!! Sell the tech at whatever price they get for it.
Sell it to pakistan or South Africa or anyone who can build on our efforts. Its a reasonably good engine which is a copy of the 404.

Your comment has lot of inaccuracies, knee-jerk thinking, immature postulation, but i won't get into that debate as this is usual troll attempt.

The original article has wrong heading(to sensationalize things). The content of article says total opposite. GTRE is getting fresh 2600 Crore, everyone missed this part.

I think the plan seems tobe to take whole project into Black category(hide it from public).

Manohar Parrikar is proving to be the best defence minister ever.

He understands indigenous projects are a danger to national security and will take the necessary steps to stop this criminal wastage of taxpayers money.

Rafale deal should be signed soon and the mythical tejas mk2 scrapped.

wow..brilliant logic.

HAL through their miraculous assembly skills has brought down the same number of planes lost post ww2 in combat.

The US Air Force lost 2146 fixed wing aircraft, of which close to 600 loses were F4 phantoms. Please note these were the loses on the U.S's own admission. The real losses would naturally be higher than this figure. These are the losses not from accidents post ww2, these were the USAF's combat and mission related losses only during the vietnam war.

Ofcourse I have not added the US navy fixed wing losses to that list. Which I think was 865 losses or somewehere around that figure.

And please note the term fixed wing. Helicopters are not added to that list. Forgot the figures.

And let me stress the fact these are U.S claims of losses and the real figure will be higher.

DRDO kuch ISRO se seekh lo
Horrible Aeronautics Limited

Only during vietnam war by US's own admission?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post–World_War_II_air-to-air_combat_losses

89 losses not 2146.

What are you smoking?

If you are done acting like a braying jackass open the link. Around 1500 losses post ww2. HAL has reached that figure. Tooling the hunter, su-7 apart from the countless mig crashes.

Non sense.We haven't produced that much mig 21s
