I heard from Mohan Rao, the GTRE chairman that Kaveri engine is producing almost 90% of required thrust and that they will try to complete it without any help! Required atleast-90kN Present thrust-82 kN
Anyway Kaveri is already better than Sncema M88 of Rafale! M88-81kN thrust with so called super cruise but Rafale super cruises below mach 1! So GTRE already know that GTX is better than M88!

The Mark 2 will have a more powerful engine, refined aerodynamics.
-
Weight optimisation will be undertaken for the Tejas Mk-2 variant to reduce its weight
-
Latest news is that, LCA will be matted with PV-1 or LSP-1 for flight trial. My guess, PV-1 as this is the only prototype built with kaveri in mind. KH-1 and KH-2 are dismantled. So, good progress.

hahaha, that Chinese kid in the teapot had me roflmao! God damn... Chinese aviation sucks.

New fuselage, wider wings, according to insiders in ADA, might have 2 extra hardpoints at the tip, with additional jammers. Lets see what the ADA/HAl throws at us.

thrust to weight capability as u said good is not enough for supercruise. For a 6.5 flying object it needs an engine with dry thrust of atleast 60KN to cruise at supersonic speeds. hope with GE414 or EJ200 it can supercruise.

u mean hower like like F35 or harrier? no it dont.
I will have short take off and land with the help of Hook arrester as F18 and Rafael do.

Does naval version of LCA has vertical take off capabilities?
The indigenously designed and developed Kaveri Engine was successfully flight tested on an IL76 by DRDO yesterday during the Flying Test Bed (FTB) Trials at Gromov Flight Research Institute (GFRI), Moscow, Russia.
K9 version of Kaveri engine was tested from take-off to landing and flew for a period of over one hour up to at an altitude of 6000m at a speed of 0.6 mach on its maiden flight. The engine control, engine performance and engine health during the flight were found to be excellent

Tejas Mk1 Initial operational clearance by early 2011
Indian air force has ordered 40 Tejas Mark 1 and Indian Navy some more Tejas mark 1.
We are also looking at 100 Tejas Mark 2 for Indian air force and at least 50 Tejas Mark 2 for Indian Navy
In total, we are looking at least 200 to 250 Tejas for both Indian air force and Navy for both mark1 and mark 2 versions.
Next step is AMCA (Advanced medium combat stealth aircraft). I hope kaveri gets ready for this twin engined beast.
