Well, bugger. Okay, afterburning J52 in the "single engine F-5E/F". If people buy lots of those, then you can look at swapping the J52 with the F404 for some F-5G/Hs among everyone who bought the F-5E/Fs in the mid 1980s.

Fun fact I learned from another thread: if you want an afterburner for the J52, ask SAAB. The Viggen engine was a civilian J52 developped for airliners, to which they added an afterburner (that's how I remember the whole story, I could be wrong). I'm still rooting for Sud Aviation F-5s...

The J52 would've been interesting as a parallel project with the F-5E given the evolution of the J52 timeline and it's compact size, weight, and fuel efficiency for its time. Thrust to weight ratio isn't nearly as good as the J85, or the J101 (or later F404), but it's better than pretty much all...

In the short term, fitting the 11,200 lb.s.t. J52-408 with an afterburner (or using J79s) would have powered at least prototypes of most F-404-powered aircraft. It also depends on where you kill the engine... at the GE1 (initial concept prototype) stage? The YJ101 (engine that powered the...

Eh, I wouldn't take the RM8 as much of a basis for J52 development. The Swedes almost entirely redesigned the JT8D to make it suitable for supersonic flight - it got new fans, turbines, fuel control, and a new combustion chamber. However, there was one afterburning variant, designed by the...

And a J52 with an afterburner almost made it as the PW1216 for the aborted "Super -7". I have seen Northrop's response to IAI on the Lavi, working from the original concept with the F404. Northrop proposed a couple different blendings of the Lavi with the F-5G/F-20 and taking advantage of the...

With the AB, the Atar 9 was about 6.2m vs the 8 at 3.9m or so. I may be wrong here, but weren't the ABs of the time for comparable turbojets all about 2m in length? Also, the IVB had an Avon and for the SuE, the J52 was seriously considered. But AFAIK, never an afterburning engine. My...

Hi guys ... I need some help regarding the engines under consideration for the very early "Sabre II" / "Super-7" because I found some very crude "babelfish" translations of early engine-"competition" when Western assistance was still under way ! All what I could extract is that there were the...

Would it still have been twin engined, or would it be able to achieve Mach 2 using a single higher thrust afterburning engine?
