  41. For a jet engine, most important is the high temperature tolerance for turbine blades, the output power is directly related to it, or it will be distorted or burned. The high quality steel alloy can make Kaveri 10, which using it, the max power was 71 kn. cannot be used in Tejas, so India used GE404, with power of 81 kn, still too little, so the junk cannot be sold to any other country. simply total useless GE 404 should used Ni alloy, can stand higher temperature, in GE414, now it should have used Ni-base single crystal turbine blades, which can stand higher temperature, single crystal made the turbine blades stand higher temperature since it can resistant to the pull strength evenly to all direction, GE 414 with power output to 91 kn, may be little bit better version now, not not much. The next generation is ceramic material made of turbine blades, all jet engine with above 150 kn need this kind of engine, also in ceramic engines, there are many generations already, in ceramic engine another import factor is coating for it. In today's world, the US is still number 1, but number 2 is not Russia but China. China has mastered ceramic material made of turbine blades with special coating, so China can make WS 15 with 180 kn. The US only sells GE 414 to India, which is generations behind the best US and China military engine, well if you think the purpose of India to get it is to fight China, which will be totally useless on that. France got the original design wrong, France is also in the lead in ceramic engine material, however, France is only good at making medium sized engine, like the one used in Rafale, with M88 max power only about 70 kn. same for RR so France and RR cannot make 5th gen fighters. India with GE414 is the same, we can predict India will never or in at least 40 years or 50 yrs with no 5th gen fighter, by that time, the world will be in 7th gen fighter era. so we know India will never catch up
