F404-GE-IN20:这是早期 Tejas Mk1A 喷气式战斗机使用的发动机,是 F404 的衍生产品。
F414-GE-INS6:这是为 Tejas Mk2 飞机提供动力的指定发动机。
原来之前的99台F404是给光辉MK1A用的,只交付了4台。
The decision to choose Safran as the partner for development of the AMCA engine happened after deliberations with several international aerospace companies. Though Rolls-Royce of the UK was also in contention, the selection of Safran was a vote of confidence over General Electric (GE) of the US. There is good reason for this. Engines for the other two indigenous fighter jets—the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas Mk 1A and the LCA Tejas Mk 2—are tied to engines manufactured by GE, and progress here has been unsatisfactory. GE engine delivery is running behind its estimated timelines and has hampered the Tejas programme. HAL is in the process of procuring GE F404-IN20 engines from GE Aerospace for its Tejas Mk 1A fighter jets, with a Rs 5,375 crore deal for 99 engines signed in 2021 and a follow-on $1 billion (Rs 8,559 crore) deal for 113 engines expected to be signed soon. Though delivery was to start in March 2023, GE Aerospace has delivered the first four engines this year. Consequently, not a single Mk 1A of the initial 83 ordered by the Indian Air Force has been delivered. GE blamed global supply chain disruptions for the delay, which has forced India to impose penalties on the firm.
在与多家国际航空航天公司进行磋商后,最终决定选择赛峰集团作为 AMCA 发动机的合作伙伴。尽管英国的罗尔斯·罗伊斯公司也参与了竞标,但选择赛峰集团无疑是对美国通用电气(GE)投下的信任票。这其中自有缘由。另外两款国产战斗机——轻型战斗机(LCA)“光辉”Mk 1A 和 LCA“光辉”Mk 2——的发动机均由 GE 制造,而 GE 在这方面的进展并不令人满意。GE 的发动机交付进度落后于预期,严重阻碍了“光辉”战斗机项目的进展。印度斯坦航空有限公司(HAL)正从通用电气航空航天公司(GE Aerospace)采购用于其“光辉”(Tejas)Mk 1A 战斗机的 F404-IN20 发动机。2021 年,双方签署了一份价值 537.5 亿卢比(约合 537.5 亿人民币)的 99 台发动机合同,预计不久还将签署一份价值 10 亿美元(约合 855.9 亿人民币)的后续合同,采购 113 台发动机。尽管原计划于 2023 年 3 月开始交付,但通用电气航空航天公司已于今年交付了首批四台发动机。因此,印度空军最初订购的 83 架“光辉”Mk 1A 战斗机至今尚未交付。通用电气将延误归咎于全球供应链中断,印度政府已因此对该公司处以罚款。 |
