Lovely conversation on the Rotating Detonation Engine "RDE" with Sourav. I hope the team has a successful test flight in 2027.
These guys aren't a real engine manufacturer at scale.
What's your basis for claiming they won't be able to scale?
No design capacity for bigger designs, they don't have the equipment, most importantly, they literally are not structured to be able to do anything bigger than these vanity projects.
Maybe they can hire more people and scale up production if they are guaranteed large order but I understand your sentiment.
That's a chicken/egg problem. Given your criteria, no one would have invested in 3 guys in a garage in Los Altos that we call Apple today... You are almost certainly right, but every engine manufacturer in India needs to be given a fighting chance and they're doing some things others are not...
