About the „ACE“ on FCAS

„The variable cycle engine (VCE) architecture allows flexible adaptation to operational requirements, resulting in high specific thrust and low fuel consumption. The VCE architecture differs from conventional drive systems primarily by an adjustment mechanism and an additional flow channel. With the help of the adjustment mechanism, the engine control regulates how much sucked-in air flows through the respective flow channels and the core engine. Thanks to this variable distribution, the thermodynamic cycle of the engine can be optimally adapted to the most common operating requirements and thus guarantees a high specific thrust and low fuel consumption.“

There is no FCAS and there is also no French ACE.

That’s not the point here. You mentioned that Tempest and FCAS are no 6. Gen. Fighter Jet, because both have no ACE engines. It seems you are literally wrong, proofed by official links.

Still, France (Safran) and Germany (MTU) are working on ACE.

Tempest has no ACE and has a tail, it is not a 6th gen. Engine of Tempest produces more electric that is it. FCAS and French ACE don't exist, FCAS drawings have a tail. It is not 6th gen proved literally. A fighter with a tail can't have wide-spectrum stealth unless something like plasma stealth becomes viable.
