India’s ambitious Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) program has taken a major leap forward as high-level discussions between Safran Aircraft Engines and India’s Gas Turbine Research Establishment (GTRE) point toward a powerful clean-sheet next-generation fighter engine. In this video, we break down how this new aero-engine—drawing from Rafale F5’s M88 T-REX and Europe’s FCAS / SCAF sixth-generation fighter technology—could redefine India’s fifth-generation stealth fighter ambitions.

Designed to fit within the same dimensions as the GE F414, the proposed AMCA Mk2 engine allows seamless integration with minimal airframe changes while delivering a massive performance upgrade. With targeted thrust levels of 120 kN under Indian hot-and-high conditions and scalability up to 140 kN and beyond, this modular powerplant is engineered for sustained supercruise, reduced infrared signature, and compatibility with advanced sensors, electronic warfare systems, and future weapons.

We explain how Safran’s experience with high-temperature turbine materials, advanced cooling systems, and modular core architecture enables extreme endurance at 1,500–2,000°C turbine entry temperatures, a critical requirement for modern stealth fighters. This engine is not just about raw power—it represents a strategic shift toward long-term scalability, future upgrades, and sixth-generation readiness.

By leveraging European next-gen engine technology and adapting it for Indian operational conditions, this Safran-GTRE collaboration could finally deliver the high-thrust indigenous fighter engine India has sought for decades. If successful, it will place AMCA Mk2 among the most capable stealth fighters of its generation and strengthen India’s position in the global defence aerospace ecosystem.

Watch till the end for a complete technical breakdown, future upgrade potential, and what this engine means for India’s air power dominance.
