BIG SURPRISE
TF-6000 Design is completed. The project progressed to the prototype manufacturing phase.
6000lbs dry thrust 10000lbs with afterburner.
Realistically, how many years before we see it powering MIUS and TAIs stealth drone?
Also, kinda a rookie question, is lbs and lbf interchangeable? AI-222-25 has a thrust of 5500lbf, will TF-6000 be more powerful than the AI-222-25?
Lastly, any info on thrust to weight ratio?
