To Astronuc:
By the way the graphite reinforced ceramic which is used for making jet vanes (in general ANY materials used for making jet vanes for the purpose of steering the rockets) has to be able to withstand EXTREME temperatures and very harsh environment.
Thanks for the reply.
However I am pretty sure that apart from gimbled engines, "jet vanes" too are used for steering. Some times graphite and sometimes graphite reinforced ceramic composite jet vanes are used.
If you google the phrase "graphite reinforced ceramic composite jet vanes" you will...
quick quesion:
In terms of technical know-how and technological capabilities in the field of material science, is there any similarity between jet vanes used for thrust vectoring of rockets and the turbine blades in jet engines?
Are the two related to each other at all or are they completely...
Ok, so you guys are saying that it is not the technical side which is so much as the challenge as the fact that such a project will not make much of economic sense?
Or in other words India, China, Iran, etc. do have the technical capability (or perhaps can obtain the technology it in short...

Thank you for your swift reply.
Indeed, I was mainly referring to military aircraft. As far as I know both India and China are trying very hard to develop their indigenous jet engines, and if I am not mistaken recently Chinese "confessed" in frustration that the latest jet engine that...
Hello every one,
I hope that I am not asking a question too irrelevant to the topic of this thread. I was wondering what is the most challenging part of making an "indigenous" jet engine?
It is known that Russians introduced their first jet aircraft (MIG-15) in 1947, and yet neither India nor...
