We should persist with Kaveri and a 3-way path should be followed 1-A team and group should continue for forward path for Kaveri and it should not involve snecma. 2-GTRE-Snecma combination 3-GTRE+Indian Private sector and some independent retired experts from engine manufacturer like prat&whitne...

ADA and IAF should concentrate more on MK2 version. They should select new engine at the earliest and should also they should consider using Russian-RD33 engine along with Eurojet-2000 and GE-F414. but the stumbling block would be HAL's outdated production technique's which largely resemble's britis...

HAL & GTRE had opportunity to reverse engineer RD33 engine. The Chinese have tried to develop WS-13 TianShan as reveresed engineered copy of RD33 The Specifications of RD33 are broadly comparable to General Electric F404 which is used on LCA with exception of diameter. Modifing RD33 for use in L...

It is a total failure of GTRE & HAL.
Why they didn't reverse engineer license produced soviet and western engine's
They had good chance to do it like the path the Chinese have followed

We can seek help of Rolls Royce in sorting out kaveri engine problem.

At present it is heavily dependent on civil aviation sector and it is outbid in military engine sector thanks to american armtwisting .

why not to rope rolls royce and solve the kaveri engine problem

Rolls Royce is another party which can be tapped- 35% of Rolls Royce aero-engine are sold in north america Rollys-Royce has partnership with BMW of Germany http://www.rolls-royce.com/deutschland/en/activities/default.htm http://www.rolls-royce.com/northamerica/ Why no attempt is made to take roll-ro...

As of now its only Safran and Saturn in the race. Eurojet needs to get GoI's blessings to make it into the rfp. GE of USA & Honda of Japan has started joint venture to design,develop & manufacture jet engine's for bussiness jets- hf120 is turbofan engine manufactured by this JV http://www.g...

We cannot expect GTRE or HAL to develop State of Art Engine for LCA. The better but bitter alternative is ask Indian Private Sector to take from point GTRE has failed. Big Diesel Engine Manufacturer like kirloskar , Greaves should be asked to team with companies like MTU of Germany or Pratt & W...

I think that collaboration with P&W can be good idea as they don't have an engine in the category of Kaveri - F404. Another compay we can tap is MTU as they have rich knowledge of turbines but don't make anything in this category. I think that P&W is trying to get back into civilian field w...
