India to Receive Full Technology Transfer from Rolls-Royce for AMCA Engine Development
India is set to receive full transfer of technology and intellectual property rights from British aerospace firm Rolls-Royce for the engine powering its Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA). The agreement, free from US ITAR restrictions, aims to develop a fifth-generation engine with over 120 kilo newton thrust. Rolls-Royce's offer competes with France's Safran, which partners with India's GTRE. While promises of full technology transfer are common, experts highlight varying definitions and emphasize the need for genuine design authority and deep technology sharing.
