Indian Air Force’s Big Win: Kaveri Engine To Transform Defence Strategy |
India’s pursuit of self-reliance in fighter jet technology has taken a monumental leap forward! The indigenous Kaveri engine, developed by the Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE) under DRDO, has been approved for in-flight testing after decades of rigorous development. This breakthrough marks a significant milestone in India’s aerospace journey, aiming to reduce dependence on foreign suppliers for its fighter jets.

Indian Air Force And Kaveri Engine: A Leap Towards Aerospace Self-reliance!
The Kaveri project, which began in the 1980s, has faced numerous challenges, from delays to technical hurdles. Currently, India relies on foreign engines like the French Safran M88 for Rafale jets, Russian Saturn AL31 for Su-30 MKIs, and American GE engines for the Tejas MK1A and Tejas MK2. The Kaveri engine, once fully operational, could power indigenous platforms such as the LCA Tejas and unmanned combat drones like the Ghatak, revolutionising India’s defence manufacturing ecosystem.

Kaveri Engine The GAMECHANGER Indian Air Force Needs Now |
Although the current Kaveri model produces 49-51 kN of thrust—sufficient for drones—it falls short of the 84-98 kN thrust levels achieved by imported engines. Future upgrades, including afterburners and a more powerful Kaveri 2.0 engine, aim to close this gap.

Kaveri Engine Revolutionises Indian Air Force Defence Strategy |
This achievement could significantly impact India’s defence strategy and boost the export potential of Indian military platforms, free from third-country approvals. Is this the beginning of a new era for India’s Air Force? Share your thoughts below! Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more updates on India’s defence breakthroughs.

Here are a few questions, leave a comment and have your say:
Can the Kaveri engine revolutionise the Indian Air Force’s fighter jet programs?
Is self-reliance in defence technology India’s ultimate game-changer?
Will indigenous engines like Kaveri make India a global aerospace leader?

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.

[alexpachec]

Beg borrow or steal, but India HAS to get its own jet engine. We have NO friends except ourselves. Go India go

[cv]

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.

[RK-gnqh]

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

[Betelgeusewaitforit]

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.

[erukaarivu]

We can do it, congratulations to all those involved

[KRBRao]

Jai Modi

Jai Bharat Matha Ki Jai 🙏🇮🇳🚩

[ManojSP-fjie]

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

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.

[arivaz]

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

[r.msyiem]

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

[arltonrebello]

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

It is essential to conduct initial tests on the aircraft engine to assess its effective operational duration. The technology surrounding turbine blades remains a closely guarded secret among nations. The primary challenge is not merely achieving engine functionality, which is widely understood, but rather ensuring the engine's durability over time. Experts in the aviation industry will attest that the operational hours of turbine blades are of paramount importance. If a blade's lifespan is limited to 100 AFH, it will necessitate depot-level servicing for the engine. The United States, European Union, China, and Russia have invested significant time and resources in refining their turbine blade technologies, which encompass a multidisciplinary approach to science and engineering. India is still in its infancy..

[shubhampandey]

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

[surjitgangmei]

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

[IndyWorld]

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.

[herearewe]

F404’s 84 kN and F414’s 98 kN are wet thrust while Kaveri’s 48-51 kN is dry thrust. Kaveri’s wet thrust with Brahmos aerospace afterburner is 80 kN. It can easily be used for HAL Marut and trainer variants of Tejas.

[rathanapparathanappa]

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

[Bkskumar]

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

[samrat]

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
