What's new

HAL developing Turboprop Engine & APU ?

what is the use of the new 20KN engine when there is already a modified Kaveri and Laghu Shakti engine ??
 
Future Programs
  • Small Turbofan Engine for UAVs
  • APU for MTA
  • Starter Engine for Fighter Aircraft Engines

Aero Engine

Another less known project-A 20 kN turbofan SP’s Exculsive - SP's Aviation

Great news if true,though HAL should cooperate with GTRE as they already have experience in developing Kaveri

No idea..

From the article' will be aimed at powering trainer aircraft, military transports, business jets, light tactical aircraft, UCAVs and reconnaissance drones.'
