According to unconfirmed reports, the Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE), which is responsible for the development of the Kaveri engine, has embarked on a new mission to develop a state-of-the-art 110 KN thrust-class engine for India's Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) program. The primary objective is to achieve 75 KN of dry thrust, which would enable the AMCA to supercruise—maintain supersonic flight without afterburners, a critical feature for enhancing operational range and fuel efficiency.
With the afterburners engaged, the engine is expected to reach its full potential, delivering 110 KN of thrust. This engine will be pivotal in powering the fifth-generation stealth capabilities of the AMCA, complementing its advanced avionics, low radar cross-section (RCS), and enhanced maneuverability. Reports suggest that achieving supercruise capability is a major leap for India's indigenous fighter jet programs, aligning with global aviation trends where few nations have mastered this technology.
In parallel, GTRE is also expected to leverage its expertise from the Kaveri program, addressing previous challenges with thrust-to-weight ratio and thermal management. The new engine is likely to incorporate advanced materials and high-temperature turbines, key to achieving the desired performance metrics and reliability for India's next-generation air combat requirements.
