GTRE and Klimov agree to develop Multi-Axis Thrust Vectoring Nozzle

[IND151]

India’s Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE) and Russian JSC Rosoboronexport/JSC Klimov have entered into a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for joint development of Multi-Axis Thrust Vectoring Nozzle for future generation aero-engine applications.

MoU was signed during Aero India-2015 held in Bengaluru during 19-22 February 2015. Dr K Tamilmani, DS, DG (Aero), DRDO and Dr CP Ramanarayanan, OS, Director, GTRE and the Russian team were part of the memorandum of understanding (MoU).

According to Sources close to idrw.org Klimov have offered to develop thrust vectoring nozzle (TVN) technology based on the universal KLITV (KLImov Thrust Vector) technology which can be customised for fitment on any jet engines.

Sources also informed that thrust vectoring nozzle (TVN) technology offered can be matted with engines of any OEM’s even if engines are from United states. India will commence development work on Homegrown 5th generation fighter aircraft project which as per IAF request will have thrust vectoring nozzle (TVN).

India is yet to select engines for AMCA, but Russians have assured India that even if India selects American or European engines for AMCA Project, they can customise it for their engines. While Europeans have developed their own TVN technology for Eurojet EJ200 engines and Americans to have their own technology.

Hope we get full tot

Hope we get full tot

its a JV i think ....and not that critical tech

 

[Kinetic]

We should have signed something 10 years back. Better late than never.

 

[topgun047]

Can we fit TVC on Tejas Mk2 ?

 

[nik141991]

So work on AMCA is in full swing

 

[SpArK]

They gonna fit a Russian Thrust vectoring on an American GE414?

They gonna fit a Russian Thrust vectoring on an American GE414?

Isn't it up to US to allow us to make changes to the engine?

 

[SpArK]

Isn't it up to US to allow us to make changes to the engine?

Yes, and hence very unlikely.

The first GE 414 has not yet landed in India

is this for su-35s! I have a strong feeling that this development is related to Su-35S
