There is a plan to use the Cauvery engine in a drone. After this, planning of Kaveri 2.0 version of 90 KN is also going on.
The flying testing of the Kaveri Jet engine in India is conducting the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) in Russia. This is important for assessing the engine capacity in real situations.
Officials said that the engine is yet to be tested for about 25 hours. Testing will be done when the slot is received. For its capacity showcase, there is a plan to install it in a light combat aircraft (LCA).
Initially, the Cauvery engine was planned to be installed in indigenous LCA like Tejas, but due to the delay in the program, the US engine GE-404 was installed in Tejas.
This engine is now being re -prepared to increase the power of the long -range deadly Anmand Air Vehicle (UAV) or stealth drone made in India.
Jet engine testing facilities are not in India, so India has to depend on Russia for testing.
Preparation to make powerful engines for Amca Kaveri is a low bypass with 80 kg Newton (KN) Thrust, Twin Spool Turbofan engine. For better manual control, it has a twin-lane full authority digital engine control (FADEC) system.
It has been designed flat-rated to reduce the power loss of the engine during high speed and high temperature. In this technique, the thrust limit of the engine is fixed at less than its maximum point.
DRDO is working with a foreign firm to create a more powerful engine for future aircraft, including the Mark2 version of the 5th generation Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA). India’s indigenous fighter aircraft programs include developing LCA Mark 1A, LCA Mark 2 and AMCA.
Only 4 countries have a technology to make fighter jet engines For the first time in the world, the jet engine was patented in the year 1930. Even after 95 years, only four countries in the world, America, Britain, France and Russia are able to make fighter aircraft engines.
China has definitely created some jet engines, but that too by copying ie reverse engineering. Even today, China takes the engine from Russia for its fighter aircraft.
How complicated to make a fighter aircraft engine, we can understand it with the engine of the most flying Boeing 747 with the engine of the aircraft. It has 40 thousand parts in one engine.
It heat up to 1400 ° C. At the same time, a temperature of 1538 ° C is required to melt iron. In such a situation, it is a big challenge to maintain these parts of work.
It has been designed flat-rated to reduce the power loss of the engine during high speed and high temperature.
Plan to install in Tejas after 2035 Planning is also going on at Kaveri 2.0. After 2035, Tejas Mark1A has a plan to replace Cauvery 2.0 instead of America’s GE-404 engine. This will be 90 KN Thrust variant. GTRE has sought funds for this.
