AE2100 engine developed for civil use
MTA is 14 to 18 ton medium transport aircraft.
RTA is on civilian side
RTA similar to C295
40-90 seats work for Indian high altitude
airports
First we should develop SAF engines à then hybrid engine à then all electric
GE is focusing on hybrid engine directly
By 2023 all major engines in the world will be
SAF compatible.
Civil electrical aircraft is unlikely
EVTOL electrical aircraft will come by 2025
Developing gas turbine engine core is difficult.
Better to develop engine around existing core.
Indian govt will not fund full program up to
production
Business case for civil aircraft development?
o RAI Indonesia interested, also uses AE2100. N295 is similar to Dornier 228
o Upgrading Russian IL114 is heavy. Russian AN32 is military. AN132 is civil version of AN32 with PW127 engine
o Canada Bombardier is folding up
o PW127 has hot/high capability
o ATR42 has less runway roll. Modified specially for Delhi Kullu flight. Runway is short because of Beas river.
Clean sheet design of engine will take 7-8 years
125 Jaguar aircrafts are there in India
Gas turbine core IP not possible to transfer to
India
Buy core engine for abroad. Do phase by phase indigenization
of components.
IIP Dehradun setting up refinery for SAF in
Mangalore
C929 is Chinese civil engine
PW127XT has single lever operation
GTF geared turbo fan giving lot of trouble for Pratt
Whitney
A380 has Trent 900
A320 Neo one of the options got fully grounded
due to oil seal leakage
737 MAX grounded for 1 year due to MCAS
Bombardier CRJ overshot time line
Embraer has stopped 90 seater work.
