I remember something like that convo in regards a low end version of the super tiger for non nato nations and a single engine F-5 yeah it would have been a totally sweet little package given that the J-85 on AB was a thirsty little hippo EDIT: Another fun one, though utterly irresponsible and...

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...

I hadn't realized that the non-afterburning F404 made less thrust than the J52-P-408. Is it possible a newer non-AB F404 variant could have brought the thrust up to the same level? Perhaps there was some consideration by Grumman that if the Navy went with the A-6G offering they might upgrade...

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...

"So, we're going to be putting a non-afterburning F110 engine into the A-6s. Because it's about the same size as the old J52. Just much better fuel economy."

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...
