// I am not competent enough to know whether Director has revealed any new gyan on Kaveri engines. One thing he did mention is that the other HAL cruise missile turbo fan engine is successful. He mentioned certain slight under-performance of Kaveri from the stated specs, which can be improved by metallurgy.
// i think we can fly the slight under performance engine in actual flights and once the improvements are made, swap engines out. Tis the cost of R&D and learning curve.
// the common refrain is unavailability of test beds to test things which costs in the $ 5-10 B ( roughly Rs 1 lakh crore) ranges but these are things that India should be willing to shell out since in the scheme of things they are still peanuts compared to buying abroad for everything.
