RD93MA confirmed? 9.5 tons of thrust.
So this confirms the engine is the same, unlike claimed by some others.
A bit disappointed that it’s not RD93MA.So this confirms the engine is the same, unlike claimed by some others.
MTOW and maximum payload is increased, upto 4800 KG from 4200, that’s pretty significant, but with the same engine, I worry how much it will effect the flight characteristics.
Disappointing yes, but RD93MA was unrealistic given how little we’ve heard of this development. I’m 100% certain PAC/PAF has been doing something In regards to RD93MA, I’ve seen the proof.A bit disappointed that it’s not RD93MA.
Yes the timelines were a bit off. But I was hoping to be surprised.Disappointing yes, but RD93MA was unrealistic given how little we’ve heard of this development. I’m 100% certain PAC/PAF has been doing something In regards to RD93MA, I’ve seen the proof.
but what exactly they’re doing and how realistic it’s chances are of ending up on a JF-17, I really can’t say.

Also to note, height and wingspan of the aircraft is exactly the same as block 1, lends more credence to the fact that it’s externally the same. Length seems to be a typo, 7 feet lol. Shorter than a normal car.
it’s too early to say where the plane goes form here, even block 3 isn’t ready yet, but imo it really does need a new engine, it’s the last weak-spot left on the aircraft for me, significantly increased weight but with the same engine and thrust, not good for the maneuverability.So a Block 4 with almost same characteristics and avionics, 5000 kg Payload and Rd-93MA possible ? I mean it won't take hundreds of millions and more than 2 years to come up with first prototype. What do you think ?

Though one possibility could be that the RD93MA is delayed, maybe they planned to use it for the block 3 and it isn’t ready yet, and we will see it on block 3 later down the line, but that’s just wishful thinking.
From 7, that’s the new one under the fuselage.Number of hard points increased to 8 from 6.
