WHAT?
This engine is a failure and how can somebody use a jet engine on a naval ship?

Nice to see how you can jump into foot in mouth syndrome.
Kaveri Engine is still an engine that delivers power. Its power to weight ratio is not as per specifications. India is trying to reduce the weight and resolve few other issues. Nothing stops such an engine to drive a Naval vessel.

Only a fool would call Kaveri a failure.

The engine works and can be used in trainer aircraft, HALE(HIgh,altitude. long.endurance) UAV's and (HALE) UCAV's , ships and tanks, but its weight has upset the T/W ratio on Tejas , making it underpowered on the plane.

We aimed for the moon but fell in the stars ,
with bit of French help we will close the remaining gap.

You will hear about Kaveri many times , this decade so get used to it.

This is only known to those countries who built jet engines, these can be used in naval ship with some modifications.
And who told you that Kaveri is a failure, although its not meeting new ASR requirement for Airforce of 90kN but its giving output of 80-82 kN already and GTRE is working with Scnema for 90kN Kaveri Eco core engine.

Do you ever know any other word apart failure for Kaveri, Tejas, Arjun or any other indian products.

Those who think that kaveri is a failure... need 2 think again ...
The Kaveri is still in development, and reports indicate that it will be ready to fly by 2009. Testing and certification for use on the Tejas is expected to take some more time after that. Till then, the first two squadrons of Tejas will be powered by the GE404 engine.
Scientific Advisor to Defence Minister M Natarajan said nearly 90 to 93 per cent of the expected performance had been realised and the government had recently floated an expression of interest to seek partners to move the programme further
DRDO has reportedly been able to develop single crystal blades, which represent a major technological achievement for engine development. Production and integrating this technology into the engine is expected to take some more time.
Kaveri has already undergone 1,700 hours of tests and has been sent twice to Russia to undergo high-altitude tests for which India has no facility. The engine is also being tested to power the next generation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles.
In September 2008, it was announced that the Kaveri would not be ready in time for the Tejas, and that an in-production powerplant would have to selected. Development of the Kaveri by the GTRE would continue for other future applications.
It was announced in November 2008 that the Kaveri engine will be installed on LCA by December 2009, apparently for tests only.[citation needed] On 28th nov 2009 a top DRDO official said kaveri engine would be ready for Tejas by march-april 2010.

BREAKING NEWS: TEJAS LSP-3 COMPLETES SUCCESSFUL FIRST FLIGHT WITH ELTA MMR ONBOARD. IT FLEW FOR 40 MINUTES AT 0.8 MACH SPEED.

sorry there are 2 many thread on this

So engine is decided or still the decision is to be made.
Without engine every thing is junk

IT HAS AN ENGINE AND IT IS FLYING SO DNT COCKOFF!!THE DAY WE GET A BETTER ENGINE WE WILL TELL
ABOUT UR JUNK STATEMENT WE WERE NOT ASKING ABOUT UR JF-17

 

[deepakaviator]

I guess i hve clearly mentiond in ma post that d 1st 2 squadons will be powered by the GE404 engine... nd as soon as kaveri kicks off, it'll replace GE... nd still u guyz usin words like junk for d LCA... thn god may help u guyz...

 

[thunder rules]

the interesting thing is lca tejas gives a great resemblance to French made mirages ..

Both are tail-less delta configuration and the comparison ends here. They both are different classes of fighters for different roles.
