Thank moi later, so K6 kaveri dry 1 fett currently in Rus? And this indicates about the ghatak engine?
GTRE seems to have woken up, this is probably the next step sow after the chemical bath
GTRE may have approved a consultancy project for Kaveri Dry engine maintenance philosophy development , per the CV of someone from academia. This is consultancy work so will probably be done post-production at Godrej by GTRE people collab ie plant visit, testing etc perhaps. Reliability study is essential for any new product or system, and a good indicator of the overall project progress.

Unleashing the Potential of Kaveri - Alpha Defense
The domain of fighter jet engine technology remains a critical and elusive pursuit, with only a few nations mastering its complexities. Among the distinguished leaders in this field stand the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Russia. However, Russia’s engine technology lags behind...

GTRE pleading the govt for their flying test bed. It takes multiple years of pleading & some huge luck for Govt to finally give nod.
Few days ago, I wrote in some thread(don't remember in which one) that we need Su-30MKI as flying test bed for all our fighter size desi turbofan/jet engines. And ahem..ahem..as per Alpha Defense, GTRE has now approached gov. to lease/allot them 2 Su-30MKIs as flying-testbed for future Kaveri variants. Once again my "optimism" is proving correct, it seems
First of all, Kaveri cannot be tested on MKI without heavy modification because of physical dimensions. Mig-29 is the correct platform to test a Kaveri like engine. Such proposal exist even in 90s. GTRE people were vocal about it then.Few days ago, I wrote in some thread(don't remember in which one) that we need Su-30MKI as flying test bed for all our fighter size desi turbofan/jet engines.

Secondly, You take in difference between actual journalists with sources and amateur SM accounts who makes content for clicks. Even in defence journalists in india people with credibility is only handful.
As per the report they are looking to lease Mig-29 as well for testing along with MKI.
Compare the length, weight and thrust difference. Su-30 dont make much sense.
We need flying test bed like 747 and twin test cell before actual Mig-29 IMO.
This info came out from the GTRE seminar possibly from M Siddque sir speech in the beginning part, so likely another push , their target is getting a mig29 prob, but a higher aim is mentioned so that Govt at least gives nod to the least.
No joy, was fully restricted, registration only. But the sessions looked promising. i was interested in the variable cycle engine session, but needed student id or company letter to register. Below is the brochure.
Nice, seems a major step, and likely for dry engine use since it is on turnkey basis. Lets hope for success.
So now americunts are arm twisting us by holding the delivery. Hopefully it will wake up bhangi babus and politicians to invest on indigenous engine.
