Livefist reported the pictures of single crystal blades developped by DMRL back in mid 2010.Your source are two years old and I was talking about the recent test of k9 this year which used indian scb's.
REGARDS.........

Realy? You are blabbering a lot nowadays.

- SC blades project was assigned to DMRL by GTRE itself. GTRE is nodal agency for aero-engine R&D.
- Kaveri K-9 is using home-made blades.
- There was a proposal to introduce Snecma's ec-Core into newer K-10 version, but that has been dropped now, after Kaveri's flight tests. IAF has accepted to stick with flight-proven Kabini core. Good leadership example.

It seems saint Antony has put a stick up IAF's corrupt as$.

back your claim with a source....

It doesnt take a overnight effort to put SCB in engines... it will take several months and lot of testing... It will nearly take more than 6-8 months to put and test in a eninge.. On top of it time will take for developing engines..

Just shows that ADA and IAF have no clue what they really want!

Changes of AMCA requirements:

1) AMCA planed as a strike fighter, similiar to F35 and below FGFA, with 2 x 90kN Kaveri engines
2) AMCA should n ot only be a strike fighter, but fully multi role
3) AMCA should be more stealthy than FGFA, have SC and TVC features
4) AMCA should be even more advanced than FGFA
5) AMCA should have 2 x 100 - 110kN Kaveri - Snecma engines

We won't have to wait long for more changes and it is actually not surprising that the Kaveri - Snecma development takes so long, when the requirements are changing always. The M88 is said to have a potential up to 110kN, but such an development would really need some more time than the 3 - 5 years expected so far for the 90 - 95kN engine.

Kindly provide source for this claim.

Buddy, sometimes it's faster to use google than ask for sources, especially from such old posts :

Dufour says that Snecma has begun studies into the eventual re-engineing of the Mirage 2000-5, whose single M53 engine would be replaced by an M88. The company is already looking at up-rated versions of the M88 for projected higher-weight versions of the Rafale - the M88-3 with a thrust of 90kN, and the M88-4 with 110kN - and he sees these as being suitable for the Mirage 2000.
