it took 20 years because there were severe sanctions imposed on India;which gave us no option other than to manufacture each and every part of it on our own; you see a totally unkon area to India and they ventured into it!

I hear that kaveri's ship engine is ready. now they are in their last minute power correction touches for LCA; the challenge they are facing at the moment is about the Thrust. they want to make it mach 2. But; right now its only 1.7 machOne of the designers commented; "If you dont want LCA to meet the same fate of Marut then you will have to be a bit patient"

aaazzzqwer is a typical ignorant SOB, LCA is completely indian made, the engines are kaveri engines, where as these chinese cant even build a decent jet engine, they r using russian made jet engines

aaazzzqwer, just shut da f**k up!It more Indian made. They are using Kaveri soon, GE doesn't meet the full requirement of LCA

Remember one thing except for Engine and AESA radar every thing is Made in India (to be precise Everything is Developed in India ) our Avionic is Best in world

lca uses kaweri engine....not ge engine.only the prototype uses GE engine.the radar and electronics are indias own tecnology,and considered generation 4.5.

praley...latest news....kaweri engine is now deemed underpowered for indian air force requirements...they are taking in only two squadrans.the radar and all are indegenious tough.the engine might be either changed to foreingn one unless a locally made more powerful engine is made.
