And what about the gas turbine project. The last time naval officials were given a briefing they were very excited about it.
Yes GE and RR is a far cry, even the Ukrainian ones, but if we make a decent one , a big boost to our Navy and we have a very big market ahead of us. And we will surely have price advantage over RR and GE . If we actually complete it on time our competitions will be only with Russians, Chinese only , I am counting on present turmoil in Ukraine and thus keeping it out.
Sirjee , I am with you on this.
AMCA will not be a heavy fighter like flankers so two afterburning jet engines with a wet thrust of 110kn each and 2D TV will be awesome.
Just 2 days ago news was about Russian engine maker signing a MOU with Indian firm for co development, of a Thrust Vector version.
This is as per Indian Navy Modernisation documents
This is what is described as a need
Proposals are invited under MII
The gas turbines are in Move category
Organisations IN is working with for indigenisation are
