Collimatrix Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 The VTOL lift system of the F-35. The engine pulls double duty as a thrust turbine and a turboshaft unit. This produces more thrust than the harrier-esque setup in the X-32, and also balanced the thrust better fore and aft, which allowed the engine to be kept in the rear where it customarily goes instead of having to scoot it forwards as in the harrier and X-32.

Collimatrix Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Two experimental samples of Izdeliye 30 is what I had heard too. Hopefully we can get a good look at the new engines. They are rumored to have all sorts of exciting new technology in them like composite LP compressor blades and variable bypass ratio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collimatrix Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Mockup of the Brahmos cruise missile air-launched version: It is planned that this weapon will equip Indian flankers: Note that the SU-30MKI still has the variable geometry inlets with spill doors, while the SU-34 ditches these for lighter, simpler fixed geometry inlets (reportedly with some sort of RCS reduction measures too).
