India is collaborating with France for the 5th generation engine for AMCA and Safran has already established a plan to open a facility to design said engine.

Are we designing the new engine for Turkey's jets under FCAS?
From what I know, the engine for amca will be a 5th gen one, like f35.
Not a adaptive cycle one.
Now about fcas, even design is not finalised so can't say what engine it will feature.
Though high chance France would want Turkey to be a partner both for funding reason and production no. Reason, but "germany" may object.
Also can guarantee chinese 6th gen will enter service before fcas and even gcap will.
