India Advances Indigenous Aerospace Engines with Kaveri Trials and Detonation Engine Tests
India is advancing its aerospace propulsion capabilities with two key developments. The DRDO's Kaveri Derivative Engine completed successful high-altitude and flight trials in Russia, exceeding its thrust target and moving toward certification for use in the Ghatak stealth UCAV. Separately, Indian startup Deep Propulsion has tested a flight-capable rotating detonation engine on the ground and plans a flight test next year, aiming to enhance missile performance with higher thrust-to-weight ratios and supersonic combustion technology.
