Kaveri Turbofan Slated To Begin Flight Testing On TEJAS Prototype Using A ‘Hollow Reheat’ Afterburner Module

India’s indigenous Kaveri turbofan program is entering a crucial validation phase with planned flight testing on an LCA TEJAS prototype, integrating a “hollow reheat” afterburner module.This interim configuration does not initiate full afterburning but instead validates plumbing geometry, airflow distribution, temperature rise, and integration clearances within the aircraft’s wet section
