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


EOTS for AMCA from IRDE
 

Interesting for France - it does allow for France to develop a newer class of engine that the current M88 series they have with greater thrust - with a large portion of it paid for by India ..

It does allow France to hedge its bets against Germany on the FCAS programme aswell with their Safran/MTU tie up to develop the engine for the FCAS.

Surely both, since - at least by the latest news - GB is co-developing the engine for the TFX/MMU which was just joined by Pakistan it's their chance to take a piece of the cake and indeed, such an engine would put them in an even better position to argue with Germany for the FCAS. However I see anyway no position for Germany to take the lead in this project.

My guesstimate is that they are not chosen yet, simply they have just gave an offer together with KALE for the tender, just like how TRMOTOR has done with Ivchenko Progress(?), I think TEI is also interested in this tender and I expect them to also come up with an offer. What is intriguing to me is that this RFP is going to be different to what we are used to from classical RFPs:

Regarding the RFP, SSB DEMİR shared following information: “Our Request for Proposal (RFP) is different from the classic RFPs. It is actually a study to determine Turkey's domestic engine development capabilities. This RFP aims for potential players in Turkey's national jet engine journey to come together and create a roadmap where all the existing capabilities in Turkey regarding domestic engine production are on the table and create a strategy together. Since Turkey does not have a comprehensive history in this matter, we do not have many experienced engineers and designers. That is why we do not have the luxury of dividing the process into three or four parts, so we must combine our capabilities and work together in a coordinated manner. We have manufacturing capabilities, TEI has demonstrated significant manufacturing capabilities. Further material research and manufacturing techniques are being studied, but the RFP we mentioned is a new step in our national engine development process.”



So how is all these offers and capabilities going to merge up together? Are RR, Ivchenko and GE (TEI) all going to work together now? Plus, do not forget the fact that TR Motor is already developing TF-X's APU and ATSS.

I'm certain that the RR-KALE offer is going to win the tender, but how does others end up also taking a piece of the development work?
 
EOTS of AMCA to begin flight testing

Good news.... :yahoo: :yahoo::dance3::yay::yay:


Are these parts of the actual aircraft or parts related to the manufacturing facility?
