Can India Make Jet engines Indigenously For Its AMCA
Вставка

- India has developed important rocket technology but has not yet developed a robust fighter jet engine.
Some claim that this is the case because cryogenic rocket technology is simpler and jet engine technology is more difficult, however, this is not true at all.
Both items present unique difficulties and issues.
In reality, the same fundamental physics concept governs both jet engines and rockets. They both release fuel out the rear.
The development of cutting-edge fighter jet engines has reached its apex in nations like the United States, Russia, and France.
None of the engine suppliers in the world is reluctant to supply aviation engines to India. They don't care about safeguarding technology, because An aero-engine is extremely challenging to reverse engineer. Precision engineering and high-temperature composites and alloys are two essential technologies in this industry that are very difficult to duplicate. Even China, which has years of copying experience, has not been able to reverse engineer a high-performance aircraft engine.
India is on track to create its own 5th generation AMCA multi-role fighter aircraft.
The fighter is probably a multipurpose combat aircraft built for air superiority, ground assault, bombing, intercepting, strike, and other sorts of missions.
Supercruise, stealth, AESA radar, maneuverability, and cutting-edge avionics are all combined in it.
The engine, which must be able to provide the performance required for a sophisticated aircraft, is the fundamental obstacle to the development of a Fifth Generation fighter.
India has been working on the Kaveri engine project for a long time, and the LCA Tejas was originally going to use this engine.
In order to help India reach its goal of being self-sufficient in military hardware, the ministry of defence has given its representatives till the earliest possible date to wrap up discussions with France to co-develop a new fighter jet engine.
For the next class of advanced medium combat aircraft (AMCA), India needs a new 110 kilonewton-powered engine. India has been in talks with France to use part of the offsets resulting from the Rafale fighter jet agreement to fund the project.
As a retired NASA Prototype CNC Mech/Programmer for 46 years I can tell you that I have worked with many excellent Machinists and Engineers from India and I have no doubt that India can and will produce a high performance reliable Jet Engine.

I applaud India, with its science and engineering institutions, for aiming high and attempt to develop their own after-burning turbofan engine for use in combat aircraft. Sure, it's basically useless for such an application, but at least India can use the lessons obtained from this exercise to hopefully achieve better results with the next attempt.
Actually the kaveri problems Have been solve and has same performance as baseline gef404 so it's being used in india stealth uav program just dry version without afterburner also the modified kaveri with afterburner is in russia now to undergo high altitude test on flying Testbed
Rightly said,
''Necessity is the mother of all inventions''
.
I also want to say, India needs innovators rather than people who score 99/100
innovators move abroad dummy...cuz patriotism doesnt say the bills n security against foreign spies but go work for lockheed or jpl or dasault well they get both.
Especially now it seems Russia is going to be semi- crippled and enslaved to China for the foreseeable future.
Although the words are harsh but somewhere you're right....
Unfortunately innovation needs money, big money and facilities these days.
Mercedes Benz
Exactly. That orientation needs to be inculcated.
A word on scoring: With the multiple choice questions (wherein the answer is given as one of the a, b, c or d options )that enables students to score 100/100 for all-correct answer-sheets. Without knowing the subject, answers can be given by lottery. Prior to this scheme of multiple choice answers for questions, it used to be essay-type answers when even 90/100 is near impossible. So, in multiple choice answers type, "grading" becomes excessively difficult.
Difference is Rocket engine despite its complexity is like perishable and less moving parts that need longevity.
Jet engine requires longevity that means nation should be strong in metallurgy and industry.
Plus the jet engine has human safety factor, rockets dont.
+the new cryogenic rocket engines, esp raptor class are reusable and Indian next gen cryogenic and semi-cryogenic that replace vikas engine will also be re-usable.
Necessity is the mother of all invention and so it will be in India too.. it's just matter of time.. Indians are far more confident then they were 10 years ago. Jai Hind
Necessity? 😂😂😂 India also needs a shit ton of soldiers now and what did the government do? They ruined the whole military. Incompetent government is a bane of development. Unfortunately India has always been plagued by incompetent governments.
@@SumitYadav-ik2df thats the whole point...modern warfare is less soldier oriented and more technology oriented
@@SumitYadav-ik2df USA have less Soldier then many other countries but every one knows they can't beat USA bcz of there way better technology. And if you still didn't understand number is less important then technology .then take a example of a human with modern fighter plane vs 1,000 human with no weapons. In any condition single man will do far more dmg
@@SumitYadav-ik2df do you even read what you're typing ?
The British soldiers were far, far less in number than any of the countries that they colonised , and yet they almost always won, and colonised half of the world . How do you think they did that ?
They had a modern military with the best equipments in the world , that is the only reason they could create a humongous empire .
What our army needs right now is modernisation , not further recruitment of soldiers. The army struggles to even provide good service rifles to its servicemen, armoured personnel carriers , etc due to the huge spending on salaries and pensions , and you're saying that they should recruit even more people ? Get real .

Indian space industry is an enviable achievement for any countries and if you consider their budget constraints. However, when it comes to military development, they have not yet proven they are as efficient as others.
Can India develop a powerful jet engine? Yes. More important question is when and at what cost and how reliable it will be, which is an entirely different question.

No offense, I stop listening and put this comment after 1:30 minutes because presenter said that China can’t reverse engineer which is untrue.

“Even China, that has years of copying experience” 😂😂😂😂😂
This was the best line 😂
Rest of the countries other than a handful original developers just reinvent after several years or just buy the technology. China mostly re engineers or steals

Yes it requires a little more time for them to master it. They have already made less powerful jet engines but have to improve on them. I guarantee they will have it on par with the world within 10 years.
Yesss of course....india can make jet engines for AMCA....big success for Indian success.....👍👍👍👍👍
Recently HAL has announced that it can make 80kw thrust engine. So in future it is possible.
faith is not enough......
Keep hoping. So far nothing has been done
KN
It's India's lack of metallurgical experience is what prevents us from developing engines. But our thermodynamics, composites and flow contol knowledge is world class. So building a cryo rocket engine was not that hard for us.
Yep India has very poor metallurgical engineering institutions.
Sir, I feel we need not spend so much on aircrafts and rather concentrate on drones and missiles....drones , missiles and mbrl s are the future....aircrafts are too expensive and most vulnerable...rather cruise missiles in large numbers and drones fitted with missiles will serve the purpose
@@siddhartharay1835 well, even if that were true, most hypersonic cruise missiles use SCRAMJET engines, not Rocket engines. And if you want to build one of those, you should have built at least a few dozen normal aircraft engines.

Good job , informative
It's india and india can make it 😎 one day by own
There is a very strong political focus on developing critical technologies within India. Also the technological and manufacturing prowess of India is highly advanced compared to yesteryears. With a very strong push from the country's leadership, India will certainly succeed in developing jet engine technology.
First India should delete the poor in the country
India should involve private sector in R&D projects. They have more capable manpower to develop complex engines.
its true. but to counter that what about if our enemies get the details of our projects from private sectors? At the same time national security comes as a question. so sweet spot lies in between i think. private sectors who are patriotic. otherways its not applicable. thanks.
@@sreekanthbalan4681 Well one needs to choose pvt companies carefully and have proper agreements in place. US defence industry runs on pvt companies like lockheed martin.

If enemy wants, he can try to get it from public sector too. Its upto the government to protect the designs
@@sreekanthbalan4681 The US government owns all the patents on F-22 and F-35 because the government funded the program.
Lockheed Martin cannot do anything as it wishes, LM products can only be sold prior to the permission of the Pentagon.
Yes ofcourse when we made cryogenic rocket engine on our own this is nothing we will create our own.
India can and should. The engine is the heart of the fighter craft.
Iran has produced it’s own indigenous civilian transport aircraft . Iran produces drones ,which even Israel and US are afraid of. But India , India is far away behind.
*The main reason for India not having a suitable fighter jet engine is the abysmal low funding granted to the project, hence the slow progress. Rolls Royce offered to develop a new engine with full TOT for about £700m , it fizzled out*
very nice one
Yes india can make its own jet engine for AMCA......🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍👍
India had built 49 kn dry thurst kaveri ,and will soon built 90kn wet thurst kaveri -2 engine indigenously 💯🇮🇳 🙏
The french used gef404 on rahphael plane until their engine was ready it had same thrust as current kaveri
what happen to kaveri engine? still not ready yet?
It won't be long, India will be come a, sooner be a great jet engines makers in the world. Nothing stay the same forever things change people progress new technology are made may be this time around it would be in BHARAT.
China already got their jet engines for j20, j11, j10, j16 and India still working on their jet engine on paper. In order successfully to manufacture jet engine you got to have a lot of support industrials to support it.
All 'Chinese' engines are reverse engineered, cheap quality copycats.
Building bad engines doesn't make you better at building good ones. India has a culture based largely on merit China has a culture based on compliance to authority. Big difference.
@@patrickweaver1105 LOL.
Chinese engines are Russian copy
@@whysoserious7553 No. In the past, China just imported engines from Russia. Now, China's turbofan lifespan(6000hs+) is much longer than Russian engines(4000hs).
India can make jet engines....👍👍👍
You missed the UK when mentioning the countries with jet engine technology. Rolls-Royce engines power many aircrafts around the world.
With heavy investment by govt of India.
India should develop own engines for jets planes and waterships navy❤❤❤❤❤ must work hard
It difficult for Government body. Private firms must be engaged.
A joint venture of HAL, DRDO and ISRO can make it happen.
The answer is yes. Bharat has lots of money and scientific manpower. It needs the right investment to purchase supersonic windtunnels, a flying test bed to test the kaveri engine in.
With sufficient testing the Kaveri engine can easily replace the Ge404 engine. With enough time and investment it can also replace the Ge414 and power the AMCA.
Kaveri is dead.
I'm not an engineer but some of the things you say about a rocket engine and a jet engine sounds to be true but a rocket engine is only used once whereas a jet engine is supposed to be used multiple times I'm just saying
Sir, innovation means to dig out a completely new way without following any else s foot steps....so indian technologists would definitely find a way around to reach the goal..we may perhaps use single use cheap engine to power aircraft and discard that on landing or may use some sort of catapult to launch the aircraft at very high speeds which may cover most of the distance in the flight path and then fire up an engine while in the sky...or we may use low speed aircrafts to launch a to a missiles while on the sky to hit the target....some how we have to achieve the goal of hitting the enemy on the air..
India is near to develop own engine😊😊
No doubt DRDO can do it
well this vid is a lowkey reality check
India will make its engine no doubt but here we should also take into consideration that south korea and turkey who made fifth gen plane recently they also use GE engine.
Todays scenarios are totally different than last 70 years politician's interest, things will change soon,
Yes will make in 3022
Well it's not a big deal to make an fighter engine it's takes a lot of time and affort a joint development is a win win situation where you can develop a new engine in a 6-7 years instead of 15 years to start from scratch we get more knowledge and understanding , they get business
India ki takat nahi ki turbo fan engine bana sake. Pichhle 30 saal se Kaveri engine ke devlopment par billions rupees waste ho Gaye hai.
Isse behtar hota ki kisi private company ko ye job de dete. Ve naya engine devlop nahi karte to kisi existing engin ki reverse engineering se copy kar lete.

If DRDO is involved in the development of a new engine I will be long buried before it takes flight.

Developing a jet requires plenty of R&D . It is on the basis of data generated that you move forward. Coupled with it you should have testing facilities right here. It is highly unlikely that India will be able to buy the technology from outside.
I am astonished, why govt doesn't involve, BHEL Haridwar for development of engines.
Missile is the best..
Safran deal has broken down due to India's high demand and lack of tech input from India. India wants Safran to do all the work and teach Indians the skills and also Transfer of Technology to India by only inputting half the cost.
will not copy but will certainly develop a reliable, efficient engine this decade as our private players are also involve in it.
@@smileplease3204 how many months has the tender been out ? Still not 1 single company is willing to comply with India's terms.
Not before 2050 or 2060!
If government of India help me I can build up a jet engine.
Any high complicated technology always requires collaboration. The demand from well known aero engine manufactures is judtified because they had initially invested heavily with time and money to produce theses engines. In order to ovevome this India should involve private sector do that there will be no further delay becsuse of red tapeism.
If we have started in 1947 we would have achieved it by the year 1990. We started late and we did not invest enough funding. So the issue is low funding and not enough time. To solve the problem we need to increase the funding and that can cut down the time required to develop. Again it is not that easy, only four countries succeeded, We can make one but to make sure we succeed will take even longer time periods
I doubt kaveri engine is good enough for a UCAV as it weighs a lot and if fitted on a UCAV will affect the endurance of the Drone in a big way .India has produced very good engineers in related fields of engineering but they were not absorbed .Finally they were easily absorbed in their respective fields in the US.
France Rilable Partner For India
I think turkey and india will impress everyone with both of their next gen jets and definitely compete with usa and russia.. turkey already does with attack helicopters
you mean attack helo's whose technology was bought by Turkey lock-stock-barrel from Italy? :-D
Instead of giving money others it's good to invest in country own r&d.
lol that's a good job
It takes about 20 years in developing a mature engine, which includes thousands of hours of testing. If it's said that India wants its AMCA to come into service in around the 2030s, they still need to rely on foreign engines which depress its indigenous developers. Sad story.
It is not 80s and 90s where you needs 20 years of randomised controlled trail(RCT) and empirical experiments. Things are speeding up with new innovation every six months.

India definitely has the brains, but it doesn’t have the necessary equipment to produce high-performance engines like that shown in modern-day fighters. It’s why the HAL Tejas uses a GE engine to power it. I have no doubt that one day India will have the capability, it’s just when is the unknown.

If kaveri developed 75 KN , Then why not use Twin engine of
75KN +75KN = 150KN thrust ...
Which is enough for a Jet to carry 7K-9K payload ..
the plane would have to increase in size to accommodate the 2 engines. If you put 2 engines into a car, the car would need to increase in size and weight.
Yes but atleast ,it would be indegenious and would be handy . ,, In time of war indigenous is more useful then foreign made product ..No foreign nation no matter how much close the relationship will come to yourvrescue for free .. So indigenous is better , more reliable ,more cost effective ,better spares resources and more independent in time of emergency and conflicts..
@@Mr.BR15 maybe there are more problems than just not generating enough thrust. Otherwise there wouldn't be a tender out there for foreign company to produce an engine for India. The problem is more likely reliability.

It’s hard to believe India will be able to build a 5th gen fighter when they haven’t been able to build a true 4th gen one. The engine for a 5th gen fighter is a whole different animal than one for a 4th gen which india hasn’t masted yet either. Even Russia hasn’t built one, which is one of the knocks on the SU-57 that is can’t super cruise without burning out the engine. I’m not saying india can’t do these things, just there is a learning process and it’s hard to jump steps. India is trying to jump steps. Good luck

Making a turbofan or ramjet engine is not a ROCKET science
NO.. they will need assistance
I'm sure our scientists will find a fruitful solution in developing indigenous jet engines . Why don't we take support from our reliable friend Russia, who helped us every time, including Brahmos missile. I am sure india will definitely develop 6th generation fighter/bombers within 2/3 years period. Jai hind.
Russia itself was using western engines for its MC-21 passenger jet. It is now stuck with a less capable domestic engine due to sanctions. Why would India go for second-rate technology when it is not the first choice even for Russia?
6th gen fighter within 2 or 3 years? That's madness. I don't mean to be rude. but you have no idea how this works do you?
US built first atomic bomb in two years, india also built atomic bomb under Raja Ramanna in two years. Germany built tiger ii tanks in two years time. Russia took two and half years to build their world class arsenal. We under Dr sateesh reddy garu can do anything, If no political pressures are there.
Kaveri performance has reached its design now after years off R AND D INDIA HAS DEVOLOPED 3 GENERATION SINGLE CRYSTAL BLADE AND TITANIUM HIGH PRESSURE DISKS SO THIS IS GOING TO BOOST THE PERFORMACE OFF THE ENGINE SIGNIFICANTLY HENCE THE RUSH BY WESTERN COUNTRIES TO COLLABORATE AND TRY KEEP INDIAN ENGINE TECH DOWN
Interesting theory GE will do just fine.
Why was the funding not there earlier for the Kaveri engine. Was it corruption or were we waiting to spend more money on the French; in this manner someone in the inside is getting a big chunk of this billion dollar deal. Sounds so much like our road development projects.
The people and technology is now in place, the incentives now in place give 5 years and it will be good.
Reason why India lags, in some of these critical techonolgies , is by design the work of some the major foreign powers , and some within our country who along with foriegn partners thrived , because we were one of the largest importers of defense eqpmts.
If India stops buying defense stuff many majors will loose big time. Some nations thrive on this business, thereby controlling global power and its nobodys guess who they are.
A maturity , as a society is creeping , which might turn the tide if the old forces dont gain another fothold.
