India spent 39 years and over 2000 crore on the Kaveri engine and still cannot hit the thrust a fighter needs. problem was never funding, GTRE had no access to how Rolls Royce or GE engineers think about single crystal blade metallurgy or combustion instability during flight. That kind of knowledge sits inside people who have iterated on live programs for decades, You cannot download someone else iteration history. You have to be inside the program to absorb what it teaches Every country that builds jet engines went through the same ugly loop, Test, fail, retest, discover something that fits nowhere in a textbook. India had no high altitude test facility for the Kaveri. Had to ship the engine to Russia for every trial run. You cannot absorb the parameters that separate a working hot section from a molten one by reading papers. That knowledge gets created inside the program itself. Miss the program, miss the knowledge. No workaround exists. GE will transfer 80% of F414 manufacturing tech to HAL, The remaining 20% is where the real gap lives. Core metallurgy, turbine cooling geometries, thermal margin tables that took forty years of flight data to build. Safran meanwhile is offering India full hot section know how for the AMCA engine. Two competing offers from two different countries, both telling India the same story. You can buy the right to assemble, You cannot buy the intuition that shaped the design. I love yur thought by the way, I watch few weeks Ago reel where he talked about how hard to make just blade :)
