DRDO has showcased a new image of the Kaveri Derivative Engine (KDE) mounted on a test rig, highlighting progress in India’s indigenous aero-engine programme.
The KDE is a dry-thrust derivative of the original Kaveri engine and is being developed primarily for unmanned combat aerial vehicles.
The engine has demonstrated around 49–51 kN of thrust during ground and high-altitude testing.
DRDO is continuing testing and development to improve the engine’s reliability and operational readiness.
The programme is a significant step toward strengthening India’s indigenous aerospace and propulsion capabilities.
