Yes, we know this facinating piece of technology has been under development long before you were even concievedView attachment 217468 .

Good to know that after 4+ Decades, you can finally fit a Chinese-made camera on toy & fit it with this awesome "dry" engine - and call it a UCAV.

Probably , they will be rebuilding the engine after every 20 hours of flying.

Or .... Kaveri for kamakazi mission.

Developing an indigenous turbofan engine is the most complex engineering challenge in aerospace, and India has spent decades building the expertise, infrastructure and technology required to achieve it.

So far, only US, Russia, France, UK, and China have developed 50 kN-class non-afterburning turbofan engines for drones and bombers. With the Dry Kaveri, India joins this select group as the sixth nation. An afterburning, wet-thrust variant will also follow in the next 5–6 years.

 

[Kaveri Engine]

Probably , they will be rebuilding the engine after every 20 hours of flying.

If you have actual test data showing that the Kaveri requires rebuilding every 20 flight hours, present it.

The Kaveri dry engine has logged roughly 70 hours of ground testing at the Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE) facility in Bengaluru and approximately 75 hours of altitude and in-flight trials using an Ilyushin Il-76 flying testbed at the Gromov Flight Research Institute and CIAM in Russia

 

[Kaveri Engine]

Remarkable! Cemilac Certification? Would it be it's 50th certification?

CEMILAC certification is just a formality. The most difficult part of engine testing is flight testing, which the Kaveri engine completed successfully and even exceeded expectations, producing 48.5 kN of thrust against the target of 46 kN.

 

[Kaveri Engine]

The amount invested in engine development shows its only another vanity project. The metallurgy and able to last thousands of hours is something that they haven't even dipped their toes in. Maybe in another 40yrs I guess or longer.

Developing a modern turbofan is precisely about mastering metallurgy, high-temperature materials, turbine technology, manufacturing and endurance testing—capabilities that have to be developed progressively through testing and iteration.

The Kaveri programme has already generated decades of indigenous experience and thousands of hours of engine testing across its prototypes and core engines. The Dry Kaveri has now demonstrated flight-test capability and produced around 48.5 kN against a 46 kN target.

If you have actual test data showing that its components cannot achieve the required durability, present it. Otherwise, claiming that India “hasn't even dipped its toes” into metallurgy or endurance is simply an assertion, not an engineering assessment.

A 40-year-old development programme is not evidence of failure; the relevant question is what technology and capability the programme has produced today.

 

[Kaveri Engine]

Decades of hard work is now showing colors.... slowly and steadily everything will be achieved including any generation fighter jets engines at home.... congratulations to India and our team of all engineers, workers who achieved this milestone....

successful development of Kaveri engine provides valuable experience for India’s joint venture with France to co-develop an engine for AMCA. Intended to be among the most advanced fighter jet engines in the world, the project has received $8 billion in funding from the Indian government, a massive investment that far exceeds the budget allocated Kaveri in the 1980s, even when accounting for inflation.

Kaveri Engine cumulative expenditures recorded around ₹2,035.56

The total amount officially sanctioned by the Indian government for the Kaveri Derivative Engine (KDE) dry engine program is Rs 723.59 crore

I know Pakistanis want to shit on India automatically, but honestly this is a pretty big achievement for any nation to make.

Its not just a matter of building an engine, but a matter of building an engine that's consistently reliable, and domestically produced.

The Kaveri engine, as it is now, may only be useful for light planes and drones, but that technology will only improve with time, leading to better engines.

----

To Pakistanis, don't underestimate this. Pakistan has nothing close to this sort of achievement.

Sure, Pak is building miniature drone engines, but this is on another level.

Unless Pakistan has something to show, laughing is dumb. The Indians have once again proven they're ahead of Pakistan when it comes to domestic research and development in vital technology.

So far, only US, Russia, China, UK, and France have designed, developed, and certified dry turbofan engines of this class. With the Kaveri dry engine, India becomes the sixth country to achieve this technological milestone.

Dry engines without afterburners are just as important as afterburning engines. Stealth bombers, use dry engines because afterburners generate enormous heat, which is undesirable for stealth. Moreover, stealth platforms are not designed primarily for speed but for stealth, endurance, and long-range missions. American B-52 bomber, for example, uses four dry turbofan engines. This very same Kaveri Dry Engine could also potentially be used in the sports trainer variant of the Tejas.

If TEJAs has taught us anything its 5-6 Indian Years = 30-40 Calendar Years.

Do you even understand what your are talking about ???????

Challenge to Whole World develop 4th gen in Just $300 Million.

And that too without proper labs and High Altitude Test facilities which still dont exists in India. Neither, facilities like Flying Test Beds.

China got its FTB way back in 2014 and now they are reaping out fruits of their investments.

It all depends on what efforts and money you throw towards the problem to get the results.

Now compare India's $300 Million to that of expenditure made by China on its Jet Engine Program something around 300 billion yuan i.e. $42 billion.

Chale aate hain Kahan-kahan se.

The media isn’t covering this achievement on the same scale as India’s Mars or Moon missions because they simply don’t understand its significance. Developing a turbofan engine is the most complex engineering challenges in the aviation industry, and India has finally achieved this through four decades of immense effort, research, and technological development.

I am not concerned what media does and says.

What freaks me out is the stepmotherly status what Babus, Military Despensation and MOD and Government as a whole has towards investment in R&D in deep tech.

I also freak out at our Dhandos who larp for profits instead, of doing doing research they falls for shortcuts and imports final matured products and do screwdrivergiri and sell it in the country.

In fact, this is not speculation, but something that has been happening all along and is ongoing.
