Hurjet trainer/light attack aircraft now single engined ?

Compared to previous design

Saw the same thing on TAI aviation roadmap too

Here too

I would prefer one engine, if that engine will be the same engine as MMU's engines. Logistically that would be more easy and economical.

Sounds good to me, a non-afterburning derivative of the MMU engine would be perfect.

I was surprised to see the dual engine in the first place to be honest. Trainers are almost always single-engine to minimise cost per flight hour, which is very important because that affects how much training pilots get.

I think we are taking a very unique approach here. Hurjet is in essence a trainer but it will most definitely be adopted as a ground attack fighter (like HURKUS). That means we are basically following the US' dual fighter fleet approach (f16-f15/f35-f22).
We will have a dedicated expensive, tough air superiority fighter, the MMU, and a cheaper multirole fighter, the hurjet. As such using a single engine (especially that of MMU) will be a good thing, but I wouldnt dismiss an afterburning engine so easily.

Nice with 27.000 lbs it's stronger than the engines of F22, SU-57...

F-22 has 35.000lbs.

The question somebody needs to ask him is if he means max thrust power or just intermediate power.

26.000lbs
35.000lbs - with afterburner

Yes but we don

Longer nose(?) and engine intakes rentangle and not curves anymore. Going for more stealth look.

Wait is this older? Because TFX has only one engine here.
