Aero Engine Co-Development Program for AMCA
- Thread starter Ashwin
- Start date
If this thing succeeds we will literally juice it for the next 40-50 years to power even 6th gen prototypes when they come in far future.
Did ccs already approve the project, is that why gtre has been issuing EOI/RFI for engine development related activities
British aerospace giant Rolls-Royce has submitted what it describes as its final offer to jointly design and manufacture a new 120 kN-plus fighter engine for India’s Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA).
This final offer lays out a specific timeline for the new engine by promising an engine core test by 2030, first flight by 2034 and production by 2036 if the contract is signed by end of 2026.
Making an aggressive pitch against French rival Safran, the company said it was willing to create a full-spectrum propulsion ecosystem in India—from design and development to manufacturing, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), and future upgrades.
This, along with 100 percent complete transfer of technology and intellectual property generated under the programme that stays with India.
I just hope france don't betray us like they did with an suboptimal engine when doing joint development with russia.
at 13:54 he says the engine would be ready for flight testing by 2034 if we sign the contract at the end of this year, this is making me rethink with our decision going forward with Safran.
