India Revives Kaveri Engine Project to Power Future Combat Aircraft
India's indigenous Kaveri fighter jet engine programme, launched in 1986, faced significant challenges and failed to power the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas, which uses American General Electric engines. Now, the revamped Kaveri 2.0 aims to power future combat aircraft like the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA). While China has advanced rapidly in indigenous fighter jet development, India is renewing efforts to reduce foreign dependence by improving Kaveri's thrust, weight, and technology, possibly with some foreign collaboration.
