Since Russia is making AL-51F as their replacement to the AL-31F will there be any plans to have a successor to the RD-33 engine used by the MiG-29 or we are stuck with the RD-33MK?
 
Yeah, sadly RD-33 family seems to be stuck atm. Unless -somehow- Russia interested in some sort of "medium weight fighter" again and wants engine in class of F414.
 
It would be relatively easy to scale the AL-51F if needed to. The AL-31F fan was scaled from the RD-33 fan originally after issues with the original Lyulka design.

I didn't knew that
How much thrust do you think a scaled down AL-51F based off of the RD-33 would make going by what we know of so far with AL-51F?
