How about Gripen which is competing with F-16s for the Indian fighter deal?

sir cuz of single engine jet

sir cuz of single engine jet

Don't Tejas, JF-17, F-16, Gripen, J-10 all powered by a single engine?

And payload.. the F-16 was considered a light weight combat aircraft in its early days, but not anymore since the first upgrades.. the only real modern lightweight full combat aircraft in the present is the Pakistani JF-17.. the rest like the F-5 or the Mig-21 are all very old platforms not worth discussing..The single engine trust is also important for categorizing purposes..

thank you sir for your comprehensive answer

thank you sir for your comprehensive answer

Even though all of these are single engined, the power of the engines is also important to note

F-16s : 145 kN

J-10 : 130 kN

JF-17 : 85 kN

Tejas : 85 kN

Gripen : 80 kN

agree.

The Viper’s GE powerplant produces almost 30,000 pounds of thrust for the Viper’s max takeoff weight of 48,000 pounds. Compare that to the new engine (same as the F/A-18) on the J-39E with it’s 22,000 pounds of thrust for the much lighter 31,000 pound max takeoff weight Gripen.
