ADA Tejas Mark-II/Medium Weight Fighter

[AMCA MK1]

The idrw article talks of the afterburner adding 29kN thrust. Is 50kN dry thrust + 29kN wet thrust enough? That is about 5% less thrust than F404.

I don't know what being 'entrusted' with afterburner development means. Is going to start from scratch because the GTRE design was a failure or is going to add the finishing touches to the design handed to it?

you're f404 produces less thrust in indian conditions. Infact the 84.5kn wet thrust is not rated number while kaveri's published numbers are.

To be a viable engine, acceptable weight, thrust and durability levels need to be achieved. When is that likely to happen?

God's plan

I don't know much about jet designing but it seems to me that certain parameters like air mass flow, weight,dry thrust and SFC are nearly similar in case of 'Hypothetical' Kaveri and GE 414.

So is it possible to tweak inlet designs or make them 'MODULAR' so that LCA af mk2 can accomodate both eninges??
