Tejas with Kaveri Engine : South Korean Engine development for AMCA : Jetline Marvel
India has been clinging to hopes for the Kaveri engine for the past three decades, a project spearheaded by the Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE). Now, the engine is gaining momentum with a wide array of technical support to push it toward completion.
India's long-standing ambition to develop a domestically produced jet engine may soon reach a critical milestone. GTRE is preparing to demonstrate the indigenous Kaveri engine on an LCA-Tejas Trainer aircraft within the next three years. This demonstration could finally bring an end to nearly three decades of development and present a powerful alternative to the current engines powering the Tejas Mk1A.
The Kaveri engine program, initiated by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) under GTRE, has encountered numerous challenges and delays since its inception. However, recent advancements have rekindled optimism. The goal is to achieve 81-83kN of thrust during these demonstration flights, which could make the Kaveri engine a suitable option for the second batch of Tejas Mk1A fighters.
In this context, several global aerospace giants, including GE, Safran, and Rolls-Royce, have shown interest in collaborating with India on the engine development. Among these potential partners, South Korea has also expressed interest in a joint venture with India.
The proposed engine is envisioned to power the upcoming KF-21 Block III fighter jet, with an estimated thrust output of approximately 106-115kN according to company studies. South Korea has proposed a 50-50 partnership for this ambitious project. Notably, the targeted thrust of this engine closely aligns with India’s requirements for the AMCA program.
The dimensions of the proposed engine are expected to be similar to those of the F-414 engine, which is currently intended for both the KF-21 Block I and II as well as the AMCA MkI variants. This potential standardization could simplify development and production processes.
