Indian Air Force Power Boost: Indigenous Kaveri Engine Takes Flight

Why not just put 2 engines on a Jet? 54 + 54 =108 KN. 😉

After 40 years India's Kaveri engine at 49-51 KN. Great Indian achievement

India must never give up to manufacture its own Jet Engines. Whether buy, copy or steal or whatever it takes India must find the missing secret that makes Jet Engines work.

isko banne me abhi 5 6 saal to lag hi jaenge.

How dovthe kaver 2.0 fit in lcs Tejas mk1 and mk2

Kaveri didn't seriously start development 40 years ago. Even until now, it was not properly funded, and lacked adequate testing equipment or materials development necessary to produce high temperature low creep fan blades.

This engine is for an UCAV flight test not for the TEJAS . This will be used as a platform for developing Tejas 2.0 to power the Tejas aircraft

Can the huge kaveri engine fit into drones😂

There are huge interests inside and outside the country that do not want India to develop its jet engine technology. Recognizing this, more resources must be allocated to speed up development and production.

Some corrections needed: it wont produce 73-75kN but it will approximately 80kN with after burner✌️✅

Drdo needs to be re organized away from the communists who are currently fu ing up every thing.

All countries who have their own jet engines took 40 to 50 years to develop, but in our case during Vajpai government only the push and funding for this project started, so our engineers developed faster than other countries

ISRO early days if every one remember the pics, how it grew ?
We relyed on the innovator cos, oems and now we are building our own space equipment, dependant on certain equipment (s)..

Now Kaveri also under went a long timelines : with its own issues....but it evolved and delivered 🎉

Bottom-line we have done it...

Future surely holds good for Kaveri Engine.

Jai Modi

Jai Bharat Matha Ki Jai 🙏🇮🇳🚩

Add or integrate after burner to increase thrust

Kaveri has nozzle design issues

Meanwhile Pakistan, how to steal this technology 😂

Did anyone notice the engine ?
India produces world class engineers, some actually can be considered the best.
DRDO got enough time to learn and make the mistakes. And I think the government now understands that Jugaad and Frugal processes don't work out everywhere.

Next 3 years is crucial, there's massive room for optimization here. I predict a 60kN dry thrust and 110 kN wet thrust in v3... The hardest part is done. I will also say that we give our Scientists and engineers all they need.

This platform is not a minor achievement. Good Job folks, let's get these made like a beast.

Great news.

For indians everything tooks 40 years😂 40 years tooks to make Arjun tank,but it is a dubha tank.

Now indian should start construct computer chips. With good research it shorter time to develop engine than stated, these days computer aid design.

This engine is not for Tejas, we pulled the plug by seperating Kaveri development with Tejas development program and went for foreign engines.

I have no hope for this country, I have no hope for this country's future. I will be more than happy if they prove me wrong

Sadly central govt doesnt realise the importance of development of fight jet engine on priority basis. Defense forces are best only in debating and longing american products when american's are not parting with Hi tech weapons....

यह एक दूरदर्शी नेता के परिणाम को दर्शाता है जो हमारे प्रधान मंत्री बने, हम भाग्यशाली हैं और मोदी जी महान हैं।

Some old scientist have opposed for its derivative programme. 1st remove them from DRDO.

We can do it, congratulations to all those involved

Though making a jet engine without external help will be difficult, India must keep on working on a kaveri engine .

40.years for a jet engine what's to be proud of

Let our INDIA'S DRDO & GTRE. Who are developing the KAVERI ENGINE. Not loose their efforts. Try-Try until you succeed again.

Unfortunately there is still a very long way to go. The thrust should be more than 95+ to be able to replace the proposed GE 414. As per this video it is still around 70+ .
However, the work should continue till we reach there and beyond, which is eventually going to happen. In the meantime, we should somehow get along with imported ones.
All the very best DRDO 👍

Why DRDO didn't take help of BHEL expertise for gas turbine ? BHEL already have manufactured, automated own gas turbine for power generation successfully. Their help could have accelerated to the success.

Meanwhile china flaunting 6th gen fighters 🙂

sir china 6 gen flight running , now india own engine devalaped the year😮

How are reserved categories scientists faring? any report on that

Only Congress was not interested in development. Indian scientists are working in USA and responsible for USA progress.. Congratulations DRDCO.

🙏🥇🌹India must Jointly Research & Develop advanced jet engines with Russia 🇷🇺 & France 🇫🇷 !

India should continue the research for it own jet engines. But India should not use the engine on fighter planes. Western and Soviet engines are better and they will keep improving the technology. Unless India's engine is as good as western engines or better keep doing research only.

Meanwhile china flew 2 6th gen fighters today .. India is a joke

Good going for the karveri engine india must keep funding more for this engine development

Kaveri tested but not proven
Don't count ur chickens yet.

China is testing two 6 th generation fighter. India is testing 14 years old kaveri engine in Russia. 😂😂😂😂

All the best to DRDO and GTRE team for all your hard work and success for your flight test. Jai Hindu.

Drdo must be accountable for consuming tax payer money.

Meanwhile in China they built 6th Gen aircraft. 😂😂

Sarkari Babu was wasting time & money for around 30 years. There was a big reason behind to pressure to buy from outside. Need a complete reavamp in DRDO. Lot of private sector like other countries need to come in space &,defence industry. Those days are gone for depends on Sarkari babu for fast output.

Good job, India.

Never must not give up Indigenous Jet india,at any cost

1980 - 2025 = 45 yrs

Kaveri engine project started long back in congress regime but due to international sanctions the indigenous engine could not materialize.

While it is a progress, let's know get too excited on this news. This engine is not capable to support modern fighters and it will take another 15 years to see any daylight in real application. DRDO/GTRE is simply not capable to quickly deliver without external tech transfer.
