What is the News?<\/b><\/h2>\n

American multinational corporation General Electric (GE) and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) signed a deal during the Indian PM’s state visit to the US.\u00a0<\/span>The deal involves the manufacturing of <\/span>GE’s F414 engine<\/span><\/a> for India’s indigenous Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas Mk2.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is GE’s F414 jet engine deal signed between GE and HAL?<\/b><\/h2>\n

According to the agreement, <\/span>F414 engines will be co-produced in India to power the Tejas Light Combat Aircraft Mk2.<\/span><\/p>\n

A noteworthy aspect of this agreement is that 80% of the engine manufacturing will take place within India, with only minor components being sourced from elsewhere.<\/span><\/p>\n

This infusion of advanced technology represents a major breakthrough for India, solidifying its access to cutting-edge defence technologies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, by localizing the production of these engines, India will experience streamlined maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) processes, resulting in improved efficiency.<\/span><\/p>\n

It will take three years for the first engine to roll out once the contract is signed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the significance of this Jet engine deal?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Firstly, <\/b>the <\/span>deal assumes significance because very few countries around the world have the know-how to develop their own jet engine. So far, only the US, Russia, the UK, and France have the expertise to develop jet engines independently.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 The technology and metallurgy around manufacturing a jet engine capable of powering a fighter aircraft are very closely guarded and remain the single biggest impediment for countries worldwide wanting to develop their own combat aircraft.<\/span><\/p>\n

Secondly,<\/b> the 80% technology transfer to HAL is of critical importance. Such a transfer has not happened before and shows the level of trust India evokes in the U.S.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
