Congratulations @PattyInnovate. We love to many more UAVs enabled with your Made-In-India jet engine. Is it expected engine noise during a flight or will it get optimized further in next trials? It would be good if you provide some information on "No or very less noise jet engine" plan.

The Kaveri jet engine was a symbol of India's ambitions and yet it went nowhere. Was it a technological failure? Was it a failure of policy? Or did infrastructure gaps and institutional choices bring the programme to a halt? In this episode of The Sandeep Unnithan Show, Vice Admiral Raman Puri (R) shares an insider's perspective on what really happened, why India still depends on foreign engines, and the roadmap to building an indigenous fighter jet engine ecosystem.

#WATCH | Jodhpur, Rajasthan: In a major boost to India’s indigenous defence technology ecosystem, Hoverit successfully conducted an operational demonstration of its tactical loitering munition platform, Divyastra Mk-1, in Jodhpur in the presence of senior Indian Army leadership. As part of the demonstration, the Divyastra Mk-1 UAV was successfully launched multiple times from a vehicle-mounted mobile launcher configuration, showcasing the platform’s rapid deployment capability, battlefield mobility, and tactical launch readiness under field conditions. The exercise further validated the UAV’s ability to support dynamic ISR and reconnaissance missions in operational environments. The Divyastra Mk-1 is an indigenous tactical UAV developed for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and precision strike missions. With an operational range of up to 500 km and an endurance of up to 5 hours, the platform is designed to support long-duration surveillance, target acquisition, and tactical engagement requirements. The UAV can be configured with EO/IR payloads, communication relay systems, and mission-specific warhead configurations, providing operational flexibility across diverse mission profiles.

Congratulations to #ISRO on the successful sea-level hot test of the CE20 Cryogenic Engine at 22-tonne thrust at the ISRO Propulsion Complex, Mahendragiri, Tamil Nadu. The successful test featuring the nozzle protection system and multi-element igniter marks another important step in strengthening India’s advanced cryogenic propulsion capabilities and further enhancing the reliability of the LVM3 programme.

How Powerful Are Jet Engines? A modern commercial jet engine can generate 200-500 kN (45,000-110,000 lbf) of thrust, allowing aircraft carrying hundreds of passengers to take off safely. Military fighter jet engines are built for extreme performance. A single engine can produce 70-190 kN (15,700-43,000 lbf) of thrust, while advanced afterburners dramatically increase power for supersonic flight, rapid acceleration, and high-speed combat maneuvers. Jet engines don't create "horsepower" like car engines-they produce thrust, the force that pushes an aircraft through the sky. Their incredible engineering makes modern aviation possible.

Kaveri Derivative Engine Exceeds Expectations In Tests In Russia India’s Kaveri Derivative Engine has completed high-altitude and flight trials in Russia, achieving 48.5 kN of dry thrust against a target of around 46 kN. Developed by DRDO’s Gas Turbine Research Establishment, the non-afterburning engine is intended for the Ghatak stealth UCAV. The programme traces back to 1986, when Kaveri was developed to power the Tejas. The original engine struggled with high-temperature materials, turbine blades, compressor development, weight and thrust, falling short of its 81 kN target and forcing Tejas to adopt foreign engines. DRDO continued the programme, developing a dry derivative and building expertise through more than 3,200 hours of testing, indigenous engine controls and specialised materials. The latest trials mark another step towards certification and future indigenous aircraft engines. dhruv yadav

The Tri-Engined jet with four engines. The HS Trident was, obviously, a tri-jet, using three Rolls-Royce Spey engines. However, the final version of it, the 1969 Trident 3 - seen here in this video - was stretched for extra seating and range. And so what did HS do? They installed a fourth engine, a "booster" in the tail, a RR RB.162 originally intended as a lift engine for VTOL applications (the ill-fated Mirage IV was one of the few jets that used such an engine) With three or four engines, for various reasons - including the ever-present political mongerings in UK aviation, only axed with Airbus - the Trident was not a success, and only 117 were built. (Also, wouldn´t it be simple to change to different, more powerful engines? Unfortunately, it wasn´t possible on the Trident... so no wonder other customers opted for the more flexible 727 and DC-9)

A Pratt & Whitney F100 turbofan is one of the most successful fighter jet engines ever built. First run was in 1972, it still powers the F-15 and F-16 more than 50 years later. Over 7,200 engines have been built, collectively logging 32+ million flight hours. At full afterburner, it produces up to 129 kN or 29,000 lb of thrust while burning roughly 800-900 litres of jet fuel every minute. The afterburner, it's a second combustion stage that ignites fuel in the exhaust stream to generate maximum combat thrust. This test cell isn't checking if the engine starts. It's measuring vibration, temperatures, pressures, fuel flow, and thrust while a machine producing 29,000 pounds of force is bolted to the ground. What here looks like a routine engine test is actually one of the most demanding demonstrations of precision engineering in aerospace, Each brand new F100 engine is worth roughly $5-8 million, reflecting five decades of continuous refinement in fighter propulsion. 🎥kaydenh0dge

The Boeing 777 was the first Boeing commercial airliner to feature a full digital fly-by-wire (FBW) flight control system. Powering this 777-300ER are the GE90 engines—the world's most powerful commercial jet engines. Each engine has a fan diameter so large that it is wider than the fuselage of a Boeing 737. After engine start, the hydraulic systems come to life, and the flight crew performs the flight control surfaces check. You can see the rudder, elevators, slats, and flaps moving before being configured for takeoff. Once both engines are running and supplying electrical and pneumatic power, the APU is shut down, causing the APU air intake door to close. B777-300ER (5Y-KZX) KQ100 Nairobi to London 8½ hrs.

This bootstrapped startup just completed the first successful hot-fire test of their cryogenic methalox engine. And they did it from their own test facility called SPARC. Which they built in under 3 months. This engine is called Cryonix. Each of these engines will be capable of producing a thrust of 100kN. And nine of these engines will power their own small lift launch vehicle called Mach Blue. They are planning to do commercial launches within the next 3 years.
