Pakistan Mastery over Foreign Engines for Planes

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Pakistan's Kamra Institute , rebuilds Mirage Engines and Services F-100 Engines for it's F16 Fleet. Since induction of JF17 Thunders, we also acquired knowledge to work on RD-33 Engines


I could not find image of F-7PG Engine


J-69 (Prototype Used for Drones , and recon birds)

C-130 Engine Repair Work (Transport Plane)

French Engines rebuild and Re-Manufacturing is a Key Success Area of PAF Kamra


Atar 9K-50 Engines for Mirage

Pratt & Whitney F100

RD-93 (Derritive from RD-33) , The power plant (Engine) for our JF-17 Thunder Block I , Block II

F100-PW-229 EEP (F-16 Block C/D)

There are talks of Future Introduction of Chinese Engines for JF17 Block III
WS-13E (Not yet being used in Pakistan Airforce)

Introduction of the WS-13E should enhance our local Manufacturing capabilities further
But at present we haev ample option to use RD-93 or It's enhanced variant



Trainer & Propeller based Engines
Presently not aware on nature of K-8 Engine and Super Mushak

K-8 Engine (Honney Well Product)

Super Mushak Engine
Lycoming O-540

Is pakistan really re manufacturers french jet engines at Kamra?or you trying to say they should

 

[maverick1977]

They overhaul it ... which means they open every part of it and put it together .. Pakistan does not have precision lathe and milling machines to cut the metal. Secondly, Pakistan cannot produce high strength metals due to basic metallurgical industry ..

 

[Syed1.]

Only in Pakistan jet engines are considered some sort of alien technology.... heck the Germans managed to produce one back in the 1940s. It is not new technology. Obviously producing an engine with higher thrust than what is available at the moment is a challenge, but producing an average engine should not have been a problem for 200 million people.

 

[CrazyZ]

Rebuilding is alot easier than manufacturing from scratch. Building gas turbines requires super alloys made with the correct materials engineering. India and even China has struggled with this. I don't see a Pakistani jet engine any time soon.

If it should not have been a problem for 200 million people, why did the 1.3 billion - with a huge economy - failed to produce a good, working "indigenous" engine?

Once we will work with Chinese Engines new doors to new knowledge will open if not already

India is but china is not... Jet engines are easy to produce whereas commercial jet engines are hard... the higher the precision lathe and milling machines, the higher the overhaul time of engines. Where as both china and india have advance metallurgical industry where they can produce high end alloys.

are you sure about P&W and GE engine repairs?

 

[Khanivore]

If anything, Pakistani engineers should try to design and build a mini turbofan engine for a drone or something to gain knowledge and experience.

Many advanced countries import or license produce jet engines. Designing and building from scratch is not easy. Ask Japan, Isreal, and Sweden to name a few.

We can but there is no industry support plus we need to spend some money and time on R&D, remember we produce material good enough to produce centrifuges at home....where there's a will there's a way....

The high end centrigues are just like turbo jet engines... no doubt pakistan has the capability, they are hadh haram with no vision..

 

[FOOLS_NIGHTMARE]

China has made great strides in Engine technology but its still decades away from the Western standards mainly because of Metallurgical issues. Western Engines still have four times the life to their nearest Russian and Chinese counterparts. The Chinese are still struggling to decipher the Metallurgical contents of the Western Engine Core.

I said no industry support means If PAF build this factory their is a huge loss since they will not produce it at industrial level... PAF / KAMRA must involve private firms so that not only they got military products but also they can sell objects to civilian industries.
