Total episode is biased. To certain extent Kaveri derivative has succeeded and Government has given clearance for Ghatak whereas Vishnu Shome says it has failed. It has already achieved a thrust of 73 KN with DRDO's after burner. With Bramos after burner which is likely to be delivered during this year all are hopeful that Kaveri engine will deliver 85 KN thrust which will meet the requirement except for over weight. With successfully perfected indigenous single crystal turbine blade technology in DE2 and DE3 by Godrej Aero space things will improve.
