damm where did u find these pics ? so far i have only seen the pic with the su34 but some people were saying it was for display.
A Ukrainian pilot posted that picture on his Instagram
To me the missile on the outer wing pylon seems more interesting tho
r73 with r60 seeker?
What? turbo prop?
Given they copied CFM56 for a start 20 odd years ago, it wouldn’t be a good assumption that they went backwards.
IDK tbh where they are RN but rumours of original WS15 which was scrubbed was something along the lines of slightly better than F110-132 but it was abandoned since even WS 10 based off CFM56 got close to that figure, meaning it was literally not worth it.
Service life wise IDK but material is partially there at least from scientific perspective.
the F100-PW-100, not a turbo prop
like i said earlier being able to put out a ton of thrust basically means it has good fuel injectors without other statistics
i don’t think a cycle = 1 hour, that’d be a 70k hours engine life xD
did math, its 3,555 flight hours for the hot parts
thx m8! that’s not bad tbh
it should be noted that this report is from 1991 and iirc there have been some improvements to PW-220 since then, but it provides good assesment of early/mid 80’s (since thats when the PW-220 is from) American operational fighter engine life
yeah
on a side note,
EJ200 might be way worse than thought before
peak engine…
that seems to be the case as the engines get smaller and smaller the lifespan seems to degrade as a small engine is running much harder for a given amount of thrust than a bigger one
its pushing about 20,000lbf on full burner and 13,500 mil power
the F414 is slightly larger and pushes a bit more air out the back but i don’t know the engine life of the 414
there’s no way thats talking about engine force, that’s just weight
my bad
414
EJ200
BTW, is that installed, or uninstalled? Also, is that just normal 100%? If I recall correctly, ej200 has a special war time mode that permits around 5% more thrust, @Flame2512 can you confirm this?
idk m8, just took the wiki values so probably on a bench
It’s bench default cause different FMs have different thrust loss.
Nah. Su-37 have better engine.
