Engine for Medium Transport Aircraft
3 Video Views·Jan 10, 2026
Today during the evening video call we discussed that India is moving towards self-reliant India and the Skardu drivers are heading towards India
The discussion was about the Medium Transport Aircraft known as MTA to be acquired by the Indian Air Force
Many of you have subscribed to this video
But some people have also come up with quite interesting questions
And in this video we will discuss the questions about the engines
Some people have commented that India will design it
But where will the engines of Evanchilly come from
See it's true that the engine is quite a problem
Cargo aircraft or airliner is being talked about
High bypass turbofan engines are used on these
And right now there is a shortage of these engines throughout the world
An Indian airline company named GoAir
The company shut down all its operations in 2023
Because they were not getting engines from Pratt & Whitney
GoAir's entire flee
Airbus A320neo was operating
The one on top is the Pratt & Whitney 1100G
The interesting thing is that this very arc's other variant is being powered up
CFM engines are used
It is a 50-50% joint venture between GE and Safran
In 2023 when GoAir was shutting down all its operations
The conversation is about the Comac C919
The one who uses the Leap 1C engine
And the cable engine is not the only one
There are many such things in it
The one taken from the yarba
If you look at things at the component level
Then you will understand
that from Honeywell to Thales
And from Collins Aerospace to
CFM International's components
They are used for flying this aircraft
This is true about this erkafe
Production has been ongoing for four years
And these total 28 are all made of leather
But the interesting thing is tha
And what was not done with the Airbus 320
Then this exercise can also be done with this arch
These facts are planned for this aircraft
Stretching will also be done and the ring will also be done
This thing you can do only the
When the platform is your own even if it's going to be yours
You have acquired the components from outside but if you have them
You can make these modifications if you have built it from the bottom up
The interesting thing is that after creating this platform
The engine will be changed in the coming times
And the Chinese company AECC is developing the CJ-1000 engine for the same purpose
The people who were speaking in the evening video said down
They will have to understand where the engines are coming from
Engines can be imported
And as we mentioned in that video
That if you need help you can also get consultancy from outside
By the way if we're talking about a roadblock a roadblock is only about intent
Besides what everyone in India is saying about the aircraf
That is for the engines of this aircraft you can go quite a long way
They depend on international aero engines and 61%
stakes in this company belong to Pratt & Whitney
16% stakes belong to MTU Aero Engines and 23%
stakes belong to Japanese Aero Engine Corporation
That means if you do any deal regarding the C390
Still you have a lot to say about engines
It will have to rely on the US
There are also Russian options when it comes to engines
But historically India's experience with Russian engines has not been very good
But things have changed over time
India's Defence Secretary RK Singh often says one thing
The one that we all should understand
They say that the technology developed in defense is
It is always dual-use technology
That is the technology that you master for defense
It is not necessary for its application to be limited to defense only
In the long run you can also create civilian
applications using the same technology
And the high bypass engine is exactly the same kind of technology
If India is to move forward in the MTA program
Then it is only purchased by the Indian Air Force
It should not be viewed as an aircraft
Rather looking at the bigger picture
A complete civil defense ecosystem can be
created which is an opportunity that exists today
We'll feature only this video today
Thank you for watching the video until the end
