DRDO & SAFRAN To Develop AMCA Jet Engine

India is moving closer to producing its first indigenous high-thrust fighter jet engine through a partnership between the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and French aerospace giant Safran, according to multiple reports. The project, which is expected to receive Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) approval soon, will mark a turning point for the country's defence aviation sector.The collaboration will be executed by DRDO's Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE) in Bengaluru. Safran has agreed to transfer 100 per cent of the technology, including the critical single-crystal turbine blade process-a capability mastered by only a few nations.
