Single crystal blade technology is the holy grail of jet engine manufacturing
  • Only a handful of countries have mastered this metallurgical technique
  • Allows turbine blades to withstand extreme temperatures and rotational forces
  • Critical for achieving the thrust-to-weight ratios needed in modern fighters
  • India's inability to master this technology has been a key bottleneck
