This agreement will facilitate the transfer of at least 11 critical jet engine technologies to India.<\/span><\/p>\n F414 is a <\/span>part of <\/span>General Electric\u2019s(<\/span>GE\u2019s) suite of military aircraft engines. It has been in use by the US Navy for more than 30 years.<\/span><\/p>\n The F414 is a reliable and powerful engine that is well-suited for use in a variety of fighter aircraft.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n It is now being used <\/span>to power the Indian Air Force\u2019s Tejas Mk2. It is expected to provide the Tejas Mk2 with the performance and operational capability it needs to meet the challenges of modern air combat.<\/span><\/p>\n F414 engines may also power the prototypes and the initial batch of the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA), India\u2019s futuristic fifth-generation fighter aircraft for its Air Force.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Firstly, <\/b>it represents a significant step forward for the India-US defense relationship. Previous attempts to share defence technology, such as the Defence Trade and Technology Initiative, did not live up to expectations. The GE deal, which will involve the transfer of technology to India, could mark a decisive shift from these past failures.<\/span><\/p>\n Secondly, <\/b>the deal will allow India to make advanced jet engines. Only a handful of countries \u2014 such as the US, Russia, the UK, and France \u2014 have mastered the technology and metallurgy needed to manufacture an engine that can power combat aircraft. The jet engine deal will thus be an important step forward in India\u2019s journey to develop a domestic defence industrial base.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Source: The post is based on the article \u201cIndia\u2019s jet engine deal with the US and why it matters\u201d published in Indian Express on 22nd June 2023 What is the News?
