What is the engine used in K-8W? WS11?
Ivchenko AI-25 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

L 39 uses older version of the same engine:

AI-25TLSh
This turbofan is a version of the AI-25TL engine mounted in the L-39 and K-8J trainer aircraft. It can power combat trainer modifications of these aircrafts and be adapted to power other existing trainer and combat trainer aircraft and those under development to be used as light attack aircraft. In this respect, a combat power rating of enhanced maximum thrust, employed for strike operations, has been additionally introduced and engine acceleration time has been substantially reduced.
The engine preserves the previous design of automatic control system to provide retrofitting the earlier produced L-39 and K-8J aircraft. At a customer's request, the engine can be modified to be controlled by a FADEC system.

Main advantages of the engine:

• High reliability ensuring the highest possible flight safety, which is proved by the fact that around 5,000 AI- 25TL engines are operated in 37 countries, their total operating time approaches to 7,000,000 hours;
• High level of gas-dynamic stability at external disturbances, including those when launching onboard weapons;
• High fuel efficiency;
• Insignificant labor and time input for maintenance;
• Minimum life cycle cost.

The fact that both aircraft use the same engines (albeit two instead of one in the Yak-130's case), is a strategic planning coup unseen in BAF before. This means they are now seriously considering maintainability and spares issues before making purchases. This was a good decision for the K-8 trainers which are likely to be heavily augmented in number.

Myanmar has bought 50 of the K-8 trainers too I think. Don't know if they are the 'w' improved variant.

If Myanmar needs 50 then we will surely need more than that...

Yup looks like standard welcome to BAF with twin water cannon salute

Paint Scheme is almost identical to the Pakistani 'Sherdils' Airshow display scheme.

WELCOME TO BAF MR K8W
we will see u along YAK130 for a long time


this is a excellent trainer to use in BAF after this step pilot can use the YAK130 more easily

my guess we are going to buy some good number of AC from China and Russia advance ones

Khub-e Shundor.

I think I should point everyone to some BAF videos of the L 39ZA Intermediate Jet Trainer of 15 Squadron now. I don't think these are being retired that soon. The jets are skimming the beach at Cox's Bazaar at about 2:50 in the video.

Guess what? The L-39ZA also uses the Ivchenko AI-25TL engine. Makes sense

another reason for that is because its a trainer aircraft, it has to be "more visible" for operational requirements.

Congrats BAF hope the K-8's will do you good enjoy
