There is new generation engine underdevelopment for PAK-FA and will take atleast a decade per official source , the new engine will reportedly have a thrust rating of ~ 18 T.
How much of a challenge it will be to develop Variable Cycle Engine ( VCE ) ?
In late 80's GE tried to develop a VCE for YF-22/23 , but then settled for a less risky F-119.
