"Kabini" core will need serious modification in order to make her high bypass turbofan engine,like replacing multiple stage fan with a single stage unit.
KMGT is producing around 12MW ,four of them might replace marine gasturbines of rajput class destroyers.
What would it take to develop a 20MW variant. After all the KMGT is based on a rather small (relatively speaking) engine as opposed to the LM-2500 and Trent-800 which are based on massive airliner engines. So the KMGT must be smaller and lighter than the LM and Trent counterparts, the tech remains the same though- so what would it take to "upsize" the design so to speak? Would it pose a challenge?
