Tejas SPORT To Ghatak UCAV: India's Kaveri Engine Makes Stunning Comeback To Power Jets, Drones

India's Kaveri engine was supposed to be a closed chapter. Delinked from the Tejas fighter programme in 2008, shelved by 2014, after burning through 2,000 crore rupees with nothing to show for it. It didn't die. A dry, stripped-down version has now hit 48.5 kilonewtons of thrust in Russian trials, comfortably clearing the bar needed to power Ghatak, India's stealth flying-wing drone. Even more interesting — Tejas Sport, a lighter combat jet variant, has opened the door to developing a fresh Kaveri derivative for manned aircraft too. This video traces Kaveri's journey from rejection to revival, why an engine that failed as a fighter powerplant is succeeding as a drone engine, and what this means for India's push toward self-reliant defence technology. #kaveri #kaveriengine #drykaveri #ghatak #ghatakucav #tejas #tejassport #indianairforce #drdo #hal #gtre #aerospace #atmanirbharbharat #timesaxis #toi AXIS is where the world is explained through India’s lens. For decades, global narratives have been shaped by Western media... told through Washington, London or Beijing. But as India rises as a major economic, military and diplomatic power, why should others define the world for us? Why shouldn’t India shape its own voice, own perspective, and own narrative? That’s where AXIS comes in. We decode global power shifts, wars and conflicts, the India-China rivalry, Pakistan, West Asia, oil shocks, trade battles and neighbourhood politics - with one key question: What does this mean for India and for you? As India rises, so should its share of voice!
