Crystal blade and super alloys was the main reason.
We mainly failed in crystal growing (that's why radome of LCA was in composite, it was inefficient).
-Kaveri was well designed engine, where the weight to thrust ratio varied due to super alloys and blades in engine
-Some cycle tuning for Hot...
The general arrangement of the Kaveri is very similar to other contemporary combat engines, such as the Eurojet EJ200, General Electric F414, and Snecma M88. the peak turbine inlet temperature is designed to be a little lower than its peers, but this is to enable the engine to be flat-rated to...
