#Defence

Union Minister talked about the Kaveri Engine project in the Rajya Sabha.

What is the Kaveri Engine Project?
• Kaveri is a low bypass twin-spool turbofan jet engine which was slated to provide an 80 KN power pack and adequate ‘thrust to weight’ ratio required by a modern fighter jet configuration.
• The indigenous Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) ‘Tejas’, a 4.5 generation single-seat multirole fighter aircraft was conceptualized on the key factor of availability of indigenous Kaveri jet engine which was being designed and developed by Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).
• The Kaveri engine project was sanctioned in 1989.
• However, the thrust to weight ratio of Kaveri is below the required figure for Tejas aircraft. Due to this, the DRDO was forced to steer the Kaveri engine away from the LCA programme, after an investment of almost four decades of developmental effort.
• And now the Kaveri engine is being justified for use in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), leaving a gap in the indigenous jet engine development.  Open / Comment
