I hear a lot of you guys saying JF-17 will undergo an engine change. And M88 is the contender. We must keep one thing in mind which is that changing an engine is not as easy as changing a tyre.
Changing an engine means a lot of structural modifications. So unless there is a substantial difference in the performances of the engines the engine-change option is not viable. Reducing aluminium alloys and increasing carbon composites is an option to increase TWR ratio.
Although my opinion is let the plane be inducted and all the weapons be integrated and then we can more easily and commandingly decide what changes be made in the JF-17.
