Well engine is working. That's why. LCA power requirement is NOT fulfil by this engine. True. But that doesn't mean engine is useless. If you want the example you can check which engine your developers are using to test 5th Genration a/c. Are they 5th gen engines ??? Similarly
Well Kaveri can't be used as is. It has to be miniaturise. That will be done.
You know why Chinese members are bashing , don't you ??? They did it even with A5. So nothing new about it. They don't care success or failure. They just came here to do it.
And talking about unrealistic - its called goals. Evenif you can't do it now that doesn't means you shouldn't. Look at you aviation industry. No engine has yet satisfied your need. But did you quit ??? You are trying so are we.
DRDO sometimes over talk I agrees with it. But it doesn't mean they are notorious. They do cause delay but they deliver. Misisle history is good. So will be aviation. After all the base project (LCA) will give the much needed experience. So other projects will benefit from it
Such deep thoughts are wasted on trolls here. But very well put none the less.
To all,
The heart of the matter here is not whether Kaveri is a success or a faliure for LCA ; but that Indian govt. has for once shown some smart thinking on the feet..!
Facts,
1. Kaveri works! The major factor in disqualification for LCA is lack of thrust, not reliability issues.
2. The thrust req for the drone in discussion can be met by this base version Kaveri.
3. Indian govt has been pragmatic enough to support this initiative earlier when some major developmental roadblocks threatened it's very existence.
4. They have also been smart enough to recognise the potential of using kaveri for this drone.
5. The hopes of a faliure similar to Kaveri-lca saga are futile because here is a working engine which meets the thrust req of the target craft already!
I cannot make it any more simple than this!
