Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft [AMCA] Development | Updates & Discussions.

Its confirmed that it will NOT. US Govt. said NO.

Indirectly they are insisting on us buying F35's.
Reopen kaveri mk2 and then involve private players for further developing it.

Eurojet had developed thrust vectoring for their EJ-2K engines. If we can get that engine for our AMCA, it will be better. Almost everybody I know favoured EJ-2K over F-414 for LCA-II. But a decision was taken and we have to resort to floating a tender again.

 

[drunken-monke]

Russia, US, Germany. All have offered support. We already make MKI engine in india.

We still lack the critical material technology, don't we? The single crystal blade technology, we are still doing RND for it... Though GTRE have made some progress in developing tech for some of the aggregators.

IAF has agreed to consider EJ-2K for AMCA. Seems there is some setback with GE.

Yes, That is why the support of others are required. We are one generation behind in Aero engine technology.

I thing AMCA shall use Thrust victor engine so 404 and 414 are are out of question. I read somewhere that a J V with russia is planned for down graded engine of MKI in 120 KN thrust range.

But will AL 31FP fit inside AMCA, remember they are designed for large fighter like flanker.

Don't know, I doubt it was designed for an AL31F.
a twin M88 Snecma or revamped GTRX K-XX won't be a bad option either.

Key world "design and build" . NOT build from blue print, Even that is almost impossible to come by.

 

[The Last of us]

Congrats India! I hope this project reaches success very soon! Seems like a very promising fighter jet.

i guess this time they dont have a choice they have to develop it and on fast track basis and should rope in best young minds + take guidence from international and national experts and counsaltants for the same ..... beg borrow or steal but just do it

it can't Al 31 fp is bigger engine compared to medium thrust engine like M88. F414 EPE , EJ-2XX...in dimension and weight

Uparted M 88-3 will be logical choice.

But will Russians provide Thrust Vector Tech for that engine?
