Very few amca mk1 are going to be build
Did I say anything different ??
For ur knowledge there are Varints of f414 epe & ede which can make 75kn dry and 28500pounds wet I read this on ge yt video so ur conversion in kn (may be 115kn)
The ede has 3 times more components life d means durability (I read this on ge website article of 2001 when they were seeking funding for this development...
This epe & ede are same but ede is rated for similar power output of a f414-400 engine which is 58or 61 or some article say 65kn dry (depending on Variants) and 98kn wet.. basically it's epe but rated for low power for replacement of f414-400.
Epe has very significant changes as it's a next generation leap. The compressor was completely newly designed.. to sustain higher thrusts. It reduced 1 HP stage to 6 total hp stages.
Just like the pratt Whitney f119 with just 6 HP stages..
Retaining very high dry thrust... And MOST IMPORTANT 3-4% LESS SFC.
The epe dry thrust is around 75kn and wet 117kn.
And forget about the amca mk2 engine long time to go there Tejas mk2 will be there before 2030..
Million dollar question is is in6 Variant based on epe variants which has significant higher performance and 3-4% lower SFC..
Or they are choosing 3x more life over performance and going for derated epe variant f414-ede.
