FC-1 Vs Golden Eagle

how bout a comparison between these two in sales and capabilities..

both aircraft are attempts to develop something indigenously.. but both are powered by foreign engines at the moment, not to mention FC-1 based off MiG design with Mig assistance.. Golden Eagle with Lockheed assistance..

both will be capable of using BVRAAM (SD-10 vs AMRAAM)

based on Huitong’s site (20 million) for FC1 and Flug-revue’s 22 million for the COMBAT version of the A-50/F-50, about the same price..

both going to be marketed around the world as a replacement for F-5s MiG-21s etc.

pros FC-1.
probably slightly cheaper, already has big order with Pakistan, Egyptian interests too.

cons FC-1
engine is still smokey lots of pics to prove it, new technologies are unproven for now. no two seater version.

pros A-50/F-50
exists as a 2 seater and Single seat prototype to unroll soon. F404 engine cleaner and uses less fuel consumption than RD-33/93. Uses proven technology. S.Korea already ordering a significant amount and now being marketed to UAE.

cons
may not be appealing to those on the sh1tlist

cockpit (fighter variant will have 3mfds, Golden Eagle)

proposed cockpit (not existing in the 3 preproduction versions), looks similar to the Golden Eagle
