Kaveri Successfully Completes Official Altitude Testing, Demonstrates First

[ramu]

why is it being tested on a Russian air plane

because we are yet to build an engine testing platform.

High altitude Engine testing facilities

It is a testbed aircraft of the Gromov Fight Test Institure from where aircraft are hired by foreigm
companies to flight-test their new aero engines.

A 4-engine plane like IL-76 is chosen because even if the new under-testing engine fails/stalls, the other
3 engines can get the plane home safety.

If you must know, China flight tested their WS-10 engine in the same way onboard a Russian-owned IL-76 jet aircraft.

Sorry, the WS-10A is tested onboard a Russian made IL-76 aircraft but never Russian owned. It was owned by China AVIC CTFE. All our test is completed by ourselves.. Good for your kaveri engine but please don't talk nonsense for others.

Whats the difference between the previous tests and this?

Not much, just that more tests were done and that this testphase is finished now, but it doesn't tell us much about the performance of the engine, or how much it was improved in the recent years. Just a status update, nothing more.

Does it matter who owned it ? If the testing was conducted on a Russian aircraft owned by Russia, does it mean Russians did it ?

Hello,

Yes it was Russian-built but Chinese-owned IL-76.

Btw, there were many Indians present during the testing and even onboard the IL76 and the engine was
tested according to the guidelines specified by Indian cos.

Of cos it matter. This mean you are in control of your own flight test schedule. Fasten the test and no need to subject to foreign condition. I am just speaking the truth. The plane tested for WS-10A is owned by Chinese CFTE.

Its good that you correct the previous wrong statement. I don't like people to say wrong things. Thanks you!

Do you think there is any scope of development with the intial core of kaveri, or will we have to go with the kabini core?

India leases a nuclear submarine owned by Russia. Are you saying, we have no control on the sub and its schedule. I rest my case.

^^^I know ur intention behind making such a query.So let me tell u this that India currently do not have an engine testing facility and that's all.It's not about the plane.If that had been the case India itself owns numerous Ac's of Russian origin.

Depends on what platform it will be used, for LCA it's not useful, for AURA it could.

I simply do not care about your lease of submarine with Russia. But if you say nonsense and wrong thing regarding China, I will need to step in to present the truth to all other.

@Beast: Fact remains. China tested its engine on a Russian platform and all this talk of scheduling, control is beating around the bush.

If you buy a car from a vendor. Does the car belong to you or the storeowner after the purchase?

If you rent a car, instead of buying it ... it gives the same service, mileage etc.

By buying a car, you don't become the stroreowner (or the car manufacturer).
