...domestic manufacturing capability Target Platforms: LCA Tejas Mk2, Twin-Engine Deck Based Fighter (TEDBF), and Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) Mk1 Public discussions frequently highlight that India will acquire roughly 80% of the manufacturing technology for the F414-INS6 engine...

The Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) has indicated that India’s Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) initiative is positioned to emerge as the most financially efficient fifth-generation fighter project globally. According to a senior ADA representative, the entire research and...

The selection of a jet engine for India's Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) Mk2 has transformed from a standard purchasing agreement into a broader discussion on long-term technological strategy. Leading aerospace giants Rolls-Royce and Safran are no longer just offering fixed engine...

...combat forces for the foreseeable future. More importantly, India's own fifth-generation stealth project, the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA), is making steady headway, with an initial goal of 120 fighters and room for significant expansion. Indian defence planners now face a...

The development of India’s Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) has reached a critical stage, with American aerospace giant GE proposing a revised approach for the fighter’s propulsion system. According to recent reports, GE has pitched a heavily upgraded or completely "clean-sheet" engine...
