Whatever engine India or Japan make on their own is gonna be much better than chinese one because Indians and Japanese have strict quality control and when it comes to Millitary hardware Indian army has always bought the best available hardwareI think I have figured out what the problems are with the Kaveri.
- Too large (inlet) diameter (90+ cm on a medium thrust engine).
- Too short (like 50cm shorter then its foreign equivalents).
- Core too large (hence achieving higher dry thrust than required).
- Too heavy because of the large core.
- Too small bypass leading to a BPR of mere 0.16 (LMAO).
- Too little bypass means too little oxygen to burn in the afterburner, hence lower than required wet thrust.
All in all, the Kaveri is too short, too heavy and too thick to operate effectively. It seems to me the problem is less about metallurgy but more about wrong engineering choices.
IAF decied to buy Tejas only when it became the best fighter jet in it’s category check the specs of Tejas fighter jets watch the interviews of pilots from all over the world who flew it
