I am just trying to say with current engine WS-13/RD-93 FC-31 has low thrust to weight ratio, that's all i have to say
Yes I agree with you and I also agree with you that WS-19 must be used for J-35. J-35 project proves medium level engine like WS-19 is probably finished in important aspects. Otherwise relying on WS-13 or RD-33 is not powerful or reliable enough and probably many other issues like poor thermal properties compared to the best medium power engines like EJ200 and F414. So if PLAN decide to go with J-35 we know therefore they must have confident plans for engine. Definitely not RD-33 or WS-13 which are not for navy anyway. I think Mig-29K must use some special navy version against corrosion. This type of RD-33 China has not bought.
