It is very important for us to have ADA focus on AMCA and MK2 will be a huge distraction. Looks like they have two separate teams, one for the MK2 and another for the AMCA (which, if true, is really great). Two quick observations: * The AMCA effort is relocating to Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu (that per ...

Third offset and Maven? Nice. Maven for DTTI? Seem like a good fit - for another thread.

BTW, the months it took to figure out the "bugs" in the F-35 code, is now down to a few seconds - for the same code set, with the same bugs.

I meant further improvement on the F414-INS6 version. Of course GE can incorporate the changes/improvements to their main F414 product line as well.

The data sheet (posted above) reports that the F414 Enhanced Engine (F414 EE?)is a 116 kN thrust class. I doubt this is the same engine that was envisioned via the DTTI - which was a 110 kN thrust class. The EE is entirely GE effort. The DTTI was expected/supposed to be a "JV". For what it...

I wonder if it is possible to build the Kaveri core with the materials that the M88 core uses. Will need knowhow of manufacturing parts with the materials, which is probably the risk. I very much doubt the French will divulge that. Even supply of material could be too much to ask for.
