The Kaveri engine has undergone extensive ground testing and modifications, achieving a dry thrust of approximately 49-51 kN, which is suitable for UAV applications. Plans are in place to integrate an afterburner that could boost this thrust to between 73-75 kN for more demanding flight scenarios.

The clearance for inflight testing follows rigorous testing phases, including high-altitude simulations conducted in Russia and extensive ground trials in India. The successful completion of these tests indicates that the Kaveri engine has reached a maturity level deemed sufficient for aircraft integration, albeit on a limited scale. The next step involves mounting the Kaveri engine on a flying test bed (FTB) to evaluate its performance under real-world flight conditions. This phase will assess how well the engine responds to various flight dynamics and integrates with aircraft systems.
