Funny. Shouldn't India be pulling ahead since 1947. Why in 80s? Oh this is "Chinese" version of history. India and China were not "equal" in even in 80s. That's nonsense propagated to assuage various minds.
India Teams Up With UK and France to Crack the Jet Engine Tech
India has launched aero engine development collaborations with the UK and France under the National Aero Engine Mission.www.defencexp.com
Indian defense minster is pushing India to entering sixth generation engine technology asap..
There is an urgency india it appears recently
Rafale deal to be signed immenently
Massive push for next generation engines developement with European help
Even talk of Gcap and Fcas in future
It's all Europe now
India had told Russia no Su57 deal until the Ukraine war is over the want to avoid caatsa sanctions from USA
And definitely no USA fighters like F35

Maybe he was being kind?
Why would AFM tell blatant lies about such things? It’s just an exercise?

Yes this is good info, I was more wondering what our colleague understood a6th generation engine to be, without having a mature 4th generation and the fifth generation is just some PowerPoints as of now, but they want to make an engine for something they have no concept ofNot sure about engine generations, but the Tempest engine will focus on electrical power generation and variable cycle ..
The BAE Systems Tempest (GCAP) will feature advanced variable cycle engines developed by Rolls-Royce, designed to switch between high-efficiency, high-bypass modes for cruise and low-bypass modes for maximum supersonic combat thrust. These engines are integral to the 6th-gen fighter's needs, providing superior thermal management and massive electrical power for advanced avionics and laser weapons.
Key Features of the Tempest Variable Cycle Engine (VCE):
Rolls-Royce is developing this technology as part of the Team Tempest consortium, with a focus on advanced materials and intelligent power management.
- Adaptive Airflow: The engine utilizes adaptive bypass ducts to modulate airflow between the engine core and the bypass stream, allowing it to act like a fuel-efficient turbofan for cruising and a high-thrust turbojet for combat.
- Performance Optimization: The design facilitates seamless transitions between subsonic, transonic, and supersonic flight modes, maximizing efficiency across a broader flight envelope.
- High Power Generation: The engines are designed to support the massive electrical demands of 6th-generation systems, potentially utilizing two embedded starter-generators.
- Thermal Management: To handle the high thermal loads of advanced weapon systems and avionics, the engines will feature advanced cooling and management systems, using fuel or air for cooling.
- Stealth Integration: The engine design is optimized for low observability, with features likely including shielded rotating parts.

If it took 70 years to realise then how long to deliver? 150 years?
Pakistan should always focus on the system rather than the platforms. Upgrade as much as possible before increasing numbers.If more platforms are required, focus should be on Special mission aircraft, missiles and then fighters in that order.
hows this going for iran
Tested with newly designed and manufactured afterburning section from BrahMos aerospace. Old one wasn't delivering enough thrust. Newer one is being tested but so far no data on it's thrust output. Would be fitted on Tejas for test flight.
It is a failure of our leaders. They have failed on many others areas too. Can’t do anything about it.
Hmmm. That’s a very good suggestion. If one has failed in an area then one should never try again. Past failures would never allow one to succeed ever. Great idea. Let me write to Modi and pass on these pearls of wisdom from a well meaning well wisher.
