I Think...<br /><br />I Know the Kaveri project is now put a side but i have a few questions...<br /><br />It don't meet the desired standards to the Tejas project but it has 81 KN of Thrust ! Is more than the M88 of Snecma !<br /><br />In 5/6 years India will have Knowledge on 3 different engines:<br />AL-31 Saturn Russian<br />M88 Snecma French<br />F414 GE American<br /><br />With all This it seens to me IMPOSSIBLE that even with the same troubles that the Kaveri project had you can not do it right if you try again our indegionous engine !!!<br />And one detail, someone could correct me <br />if my distant perspective is not right...<br />Basically the Kaveri project dint maked because the quality and weight of the parts, don't meet the standards and made the final prototype less efficient.<br /><br />The major problem in my opinion was that GRTE-DRDO was the only responsible entity of the project.<br /><br />I don't quite understand why India did not put in this project the Tata company responsible for the metallurgic and the machining of the metallic parts.<br /><br />As Modi gov is more driven to the private sector a Kaveri II project (for AMCA) has absolute need of a foreigner partner (Snecma ?) But the India's state partner (HAL or DRDO) MUST have a Private Indian Partner on Tata Group to absorb the advance metallurgic and machining technology the French partner will provide, to not fall in the same mistake that killed the original Kaveri project. <br />Is this make sense for you Shiv or I am fully mistaken ?<br /><br />In one situation or other I have a Healthily envy of India's ambition of make it's own engines...<br /><br /> <br /> Gilberto Rezende-Rio Grande/RShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03776008218753900918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050542.post-16431116619796709512015-02-16T11:41:21.052+05:302015-02-16T11:41:21.052+05:30Excited to read about the AESA Uttam radar, glad t...Excited to read about the AESA Uttam radar, glad to see that desi avionics have made a great leap.Raahul Kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18144388090492230247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050542.post-15056297084840962782015-02-16T08:08:11.888+05:302015-02-16T08:08:11.888+05:30@Anonymous at 4.44 AM
