India's most anticipated fighter jets are encountering hurdles before they can enter the defense field due to engine delays affecting the manufacturer. The Air Force has placed a significant order with HAL for 40 aircraft, but the Tejas Mk2 is also experiencing delays because of issues with its new variant engine.
The development of the Tejas fighter jet has indeed faced challenges, particularly in securing a reliable engine that meets its performance and operational standards. The journey has felt like a game of "hide and seek." Here’s a brief overview of the key developments:
Original Engine Choice: The Tejas program originally relied on the General Electric (GE) F404 engine. While this engine served well during the early development and flight testing, it was clear that the Tejas Mk1 version needed more powerful propulsion for future variants.
Indigenous Kaveri Engine: The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) was tasked with developing an indigenous engine called Kaveri. However, the Kaveri program faced multiple delays and technical failures, never reaching the necessary thrust levels required for the Tejas Mk2 and beyond. As a result, the Kaveri project was essentially shelved for the Tejas program, with DRDO still pursuing its development for other platforms.
