Assuming RD93MA has FADEC?

Really good news if true, but, how reliable is the source?

The Chinese engine wasn’t good enough? We can’t keep relying on the Russians

@Trailer23

Double Thumbs up!!

I have subscribed to your channel. If you setup a gofundme I will surely contribute.

I feel blk 3 will be a new breed in old skin

 

[fatman17]

So what is your suggestion

Even better than block 1 and 2 engine ??? or same ???

IMO a completely unreliable source ... I won't even call it a source.

The RD-93MA is a more powerful variant of the RD-93 engine powering the FC-1/JF-17 fighter aircraft. The RD-93MA develops 9,300kg of thrust and is intended to power improved FC-1/JF-17 jets.

so already it is being made operational in China and Pakistan (test beds)

will it affect speed ? like max speed is 1.8 mach now, will it increase it?

Very possible although operationally this increase in top speed will not be meaningful.

More reliable ,turn over time increased to 4000 Hrs , Less maintenance , Thrust to weight ratio improvement for

the JF-17 Block-III could potentially be equipped with a higher thrust turbofan, thus enabling the fighter to boast a higher thrust-to-weight ratio (TWR), especially if a higher proportion of composite materials are incorporated into the airframe. Besides improving the JF-17’s basic performance benchmarks (e.g. speed), an uprated engine could offer the PAF greater flexibility in arming the JF-17 for payload intensive roles, such as air-to-ground and sea missions.

More of these parameters ,speed is irrelevant

No it will not the speed is limited not because of engines but coz of DSI. Infact speed should ideally remain limited to 1.6. Kindly note that F35 speed is also limited to 1.6 mach. In modern warfare lower speeds are being accounted for by BVR.
