This link >> http://www.acig.org/artman/publish/article_228.shtml says :
The engine will be built under license at HAL’s Engine Division, Koraput, who will also manufacture the single crystal turbine blades for the same.
This one reads >> Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed allowing the license production of 140 Su-30MKIs and in December 2000, the deal was sealed in Russia at the IAPO factory. The deal combines license production with full technology transfer and hence called a ‘Deep License’. For instance, HAL Koraput will also produce 920 AL-31FP engines.
Now does this mean that Russia have transferred to India the closely guarded “Single Crystal Turbine Blades” Technology :confused: :confused:
