    Honestly it made sense to stick to French for propulsion matters in general. They were instrumental in viking/vikas for ISRO dev. during the 70s/80s. GTRE and whomever else should have just roped them in from start around that same time LCA concept was conceived in 80s too. Instead they bit...

    Can I get the catalogue file you are referring to? Or screen cap of it? 0.7 - 0.8 is well within low bypass ratio. It is done this way because it has to be supersonic capable. There is no way you can make a high bypass engine go supersonic....as the 50/50 mark (at ratio of 1) goes in favour...

    On the contrary (IMO) , it was still a very useful read, and I certainly appreciated reading your perspective and experience here. We all get sidetracked from time to time, but I think that's a good thing in lot of cases because you get a fuller perspective of the land when a river meanders...

    Maybe higher bypass ratio than before, but it wont be "high-bypass" for a supersonic role. It will definitely be under a ratio of 1. For supersonic, you need as much of the exit velocity of the jet to be that supersonic speed too. Thats a direct high level need for fighter aircraft...

    My 2 cents (I may be in error and be grateful for correction or addition): Quoting example from: http://dergiler.ankara.edu.tr/dergiler/64/1536/16861.pdf .....The second Paragraph of the revised version of Article 14 of the Turkish Constitution repeats almost verbatim Article 17 of the ECHR...

    Its low-bypass.....bypass ratio will be somewhere in 0.7 - 0.8 range if its like F110. Mid bypass starts around 2.....and high bypass around 4 generally.

    There was a coup in Myanmar

    Junta to me just means a military leadership politically.... i.e a bunch sharing power rather than just one guy (dictator). Like the argentine generals etc, that was a junta too (coz they ruled together, taking turns as the "face") I forgot what the Ne win one (first coup) in Burma was...

    Well "something exists" = automatically CCP is trolled 99% of time....given their sensitivity is dialled up to highest cringiest level possible. With bar that low + sensitivity that high (even winnie the pooh etc is enough).... there is no question of "why"...but really "what".
