As part of a massive project that would introduce modern technology to india and help the nation become self-sufficient, the Ministry of Defense has suggested collaborating with france in india to produce the engines for the next generation of fighter aircraft.
A group of technical specialists also took into account every facet of building the fighter aircraft's engine. Following this, it was determined that india would benefit more from collaborating with France. india and france will collaborate to produce a 120 kilonewton (kN) fighter aircraft engine as part of this Rs 61,000 crore agreement.
Which companies were considered?
The plan calls for the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) and other future fighter aircraft to use these fighter jet engines. The british corporation Rolls-Royce and the French company Safran were asked to submit bids to the Defense Ministry. The economic and technical features of these proposals were carefully examined by experts. According to france, it will supply all of the technology. Safran has also stated that by staying up to date with the times, it can produce engines for the AMCA.
What is the number of engines required?
As of right now, it might be necessary to equip the initial batch of AMCA with American-made GE 414 engines. However, work to produce engines in india will also go on. The number of nations that have perfected this technology is extremely few. Over 250 next-generation engines are predicted to be required in india over the course of the next ten years.
Which country is supplying fighter jet engines to India?
All of India's fighter aircraft currently have engines from outside the country. As a result, the engine and its upkeep account for a significant portion of the aircraft's cost. The 'Kaveri' engine, which india had previously attempted to manufacture, was unsuccessful due to its lack of power. A new kaveri engine is currently in development for use in pilotless aircraft.
India is also negotiating with the united states to acquire the GE 414 INS6 engine technology. The Mk2 light fighter aircraft will use this powerplant. The discussions are still ongoing. More than 80% of the technology, including laser drilling, crystal blades, and coating technology for the engine's hot section, is intended for India.
