Can India’s Kaveri engine beat reliable F404-GE-IN20 engine to Power Tejas MK-1A ??

[jha]

Will be foolish to even think of linking Kaveri to LCA MK-1A or Mk-2 . At best Kaveri can be used in future in AMCA.

The DRDO's (Gas Turbine Research
Establishment) has been working on kaveri Engine since 80 ' s. The engine was built in 2005. But failed miserably in High altitude test. So at this point let's accept we just don't have the know how required to fly a light combat aircraft. We sank about 600 million dollars.

So did the government, decided to collaborate with other reputed manufacturers in 2006, now the problem is why would someone part with with such a technology used. When the government decided to import combat aircrafts (mmrca) it decided to proscribe the technologies that the vendor must part with. Which could contribute to the kaveri project.

Obviously manufacturers including rolls royce, GE, prattling and Whitney just refused.. in fact pratt and Whitney was interested in participating in the kaveri project.

Finally french snecma engines was chosen to fuel the LCA. The government chose the lowest bid supplier. But snecma was unwilling to part their engine technology after 15 years. DRDO just rejected the proposal

Finally we ended up ordering GE F414 Engines about 99 of them at 3000 crore (500 million USD).
From Quora

Quora? Seriously ?

Mr get your source and facts checked.

Amount spent on Kaveri program is 347 million USD till now.

No GE414 has been ordered , 0 $ spent here.

Failed miserably at high altitude tests ? Says who , a random dick head ?

French engine company Snecma, was being considered for technical assistance on the Kaveri. But we rejected it as it would not have been a JV.

And again it's only 43 GE404 engines ordered till now.


Correct Data brings repute , while wrong data bringsv twice the repute!

a) 200 LCA means that there are 200 to 400 engines in mid life replacements expected over 25 years, Kaveri need not
'power' LCA Mk1 but if it is ready even in 10 years it'll save billions of USD

b) 200 AMCA 10 years later means 800 to 1200 engines over the next 35 years.

Total requirement of about 1500 engines are anyways needed over the next 30+ years. Even if Kaveri gets ready in 10 years it'll be of great use to us.

Add to this 40 NLCA
Add to this about 40 LCA Trainers

Come out of day dreaming and come to real world.
