Abstract
An overview of Gas Turbine Engine Development, KAVERI, the power plant for the Light Combat Aircraft (Tejas) and a description of the validated numerical tools, aerothermodynamic and mechanical test facilities of the Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE) are presented. The KAVERI engine compressor, combustion system, turbine, analytical tools, blade heat transfer, exhaust system, Integrated Nozzle Actuation System (INAS), Non-intrusive Stress Measurement System (NSMS) and thermal paint tests are described in detail.
