it was ready for mass production
@Fulcrum-E you know you should just remake this, but dont put dev in the title and use one of the current 9.12s in game

How can a jet that had whole ass 2 test flights as a tech demonstrator be ready for mass production?
me when bypass jets have similarities in design. Okay, tell me how AL-31 can be based on RD-33 if RD-33 at the time of design work on AL-31 didn’t even pass the trials? RD-33 trials finished in 1972 while work on AL-31 had begun in 1971
No it was not.
It was still doing flight tests in the 2000s, even then still lacking very basic components.
i see you know nothing about this project
i only say the blueprints was appear in 1989
and its state order, he would have appear in any case
Ok that’s false, it had dozens if not hundreds of test flights if I remember correctly.
Okay, you gotta give me some proofs of that.
We are going into schizo conspiracy theories i see
source of this
dont see a problem
Just watching you guys until someone leak a docs so i can steal it…

Quite curious words for someone who was saying it was ready for mass production, no?
it’s funding was almost entirely halted by '95, only a year after it was first test driven on a runway, not even flown at that point.
Hell the plane didn’t even fly till the turn of the century, on February 29th, 2000.
Do YOU know anything about this project?
From this material
then i dont understand your question
start of drawning in 1971 does not mean that the enginge will not change due development process
there is no test drives in 1995, the jet is never buit because first prototype was built in 1991
USSR is dead in 1991
the i-90 program is dead in 1991
RD-33 at that time didn’t even finish stand trials. Who in his right mind would copy an engine that isn’t even tested yet? And this is if we completely ignore entirety of information from this book
that has entire section about AL-31F development where it gives all the information that prooves that AL-31F is an original design.
Spoiler
February 29th, 2000, 1st flight
Spoiler
April 27th, 2000, 2nd flight
I must’ve been thinking of something else my bad.

No probs, i really was surprised to hear about hundreds of test flights. Especially considering that AL-41F on that prototype had comically small service life.
if i see su27 or sukhoi word i dont thrust
no
he also has same bypass ratio and same overral pressure ratio
Yes, that’s why I said it’s funding was halted in '95, a YEAR AFTER it was first test driven in December of 1994.
The first and only prototype’s assembly was completed in early 1994.
Due to the collapse of the soviet union, funding was severely cut in 1995, leaving 1.44 to be sent to a hangar to rot till 1998 when it was presented as an attraction at an airshow (likely MAKS or something) as an attempt to get attention from high brass to regain funding, which it didn’t.
Again, I think you don’t get the right to say someone has no clue about it.
