if you take 5000 kn and change it to ft lbs you get 40,000 ft lbs which is about the same as the f22 raptor.
Only problem is the article doesn’t say KiloNewtons, It says kilograms.
Can anyone point to a Japanese aircraft engine manufacturer currently putting out a 40000 lb thrust class engine?
BTW: In the F-22, the Pratt & Whitney F119-PW-100 has a
Dry thrust of 23,500 lb (104 kN) each and max thrust with afterburner of 35,000+ lb (156+ kN) each
I see the point you’re trying to make but you’re off by a factor of 10.
