    Yes South Korea and Brazil are progressing here. They both want a domestic engine in this class for UAVs and small aircraft....that will serve to take things to next tiers just like Turkiye envisages too. India has its HTFE-25 engine in this class as well for same purpose. Iran program here...

    Very high chance they will be become reality. Just matter of time. Hypersonic is no real huge change from supersonic regime (compared to subsonic to supersonic) in lot of fundamental physics involved etc. It is basically diminishing returns on the same set of issues supersonic faces. Much...

    Yeah a bit bigger perhaps, but I see no issue..... its a baked in issue to begin with when you have two engines vs one especially With one engine you can harness more of the intrinsic advantage in the spine being more flush to begin with given the engine centerlines with the cockpit naturally...

    If we are to take a TH of 1500 C (1773 K) for F110 and assume TC of say 300 K. We get Carnot efficiency of 1 - (300/1773) = 0.83 For a TH of 1200 C(1473 K) Carnot efficiency would be 1 - (300/1473) = 0.8 We can assume the actual thermal efficiency (somewhere in 30 - 40% vicinity) faces a...
