Its is the weight vs dry thrust that matters.

Kaveri - 1235kg - 52 kN (T.W - 9.4)
404 - 1036kg - 49 kN(T.W - 10.6)
M88 - 897kg - 50 kN (T.W - 12.54)

So is the problem metallurgy for us?

Not only that,we attempted a variable cycle engine instead of a conventional one.

But yeah our metallurgy is letting us down

Variable cycle jet engines are the future:
"Superjet" variable cycle jet engine could power future fighter aircraft

With mix of Israeli avionics , French system , powerful engine of U.S.A, Excessive Ram coating, Aesa radar, Tejas will become formidable fighter and best replacement of Migs 21.
While Time is money.. IAF should speed up the process , create multiple production lines... It will be big achievement if IAF inducts 100 LCA mark II in 2020 and 75 LCA mark III till 2025.

You are talking about HAL? Where out of 1,00,000 work force(highest in the world) nearly 75-80% are useless!! They are just in for employment generation.

Today, HAL has 19 Production Units and 10 Research & Design Centres in 8 locations in India. The Company has an impressive product track record - 15 types of Aircraft/Helicopters manufactured with in-house R & D and 14 types produced under license. HAL has manufactured over 3658 Aircraft/Helicopters, 4178Engines, Upgraded 272 Aircraft and overhauled over 9643 Aircraft and 29775 Engines.

As far as employees, I don't recall the exact number, I am sure you might find that on google, As far as the other members remark about use of the employees, I am not sure how to respond to such mature observations. That is beyond my intellect

How many people do you know from HAL?

33,990 @Sergi looks like that is the number

They are not useless but are working under fixed income with no job threat or incentive to perform better.
Its the hallmark of any indian public company,not just hal

Correct, I agree our machine is not upto mark, But its not too much inferior to the counterparts.. Given a chance, it will become one of the best in class...

Yes it is an achieve meet. That's our first engine. But we left it there. Engines development will take more than a decade for testing etc.so we should try to build a new one as well as try to build one as jg. Preferably with French or Japanese.

No, turned into a sub marine programme and under sea trails.

Sir Think tank will you be more precise on what you want to mean ???

 

[Donatello]

No, turned into a sub marine programme and under sea trails.

The way IN is going, it might be an option.

Yes.

Does it have combat clearance?

Some senior "think tank" trolling there...
