Hello everybody!!

As some of you may know, I'm preparing to build a modernised Super Etendard for Brazilian Navy (just need the roundells  :wacko: !!)...

I already start to write the backstory in this topic.
I want to be as realistic as possible for the weight, payload, fuel consumption, range etc... of this plane. For me, it's as important as the model itself!!

But for that, I need some informations on the F404 engines, particulary its variant without afterburner!!!
Indeed, my Super Etendard will be re-engined in the same way of the A-4AR in Argentina...

I thought about M88 engine for the moment, or maybe a F404...
But for that, I need to know some information on the F404 in its dry variant (for F-117 and A-4 I think), or even of a possible EJ200 or M88 dry variant if you have:

-What is its weight??
(For the moment, I have the size/weight of the F404-GE-402, the F414, the M88, the EJ200, ATAR, RM12 etc... but nothing about the size and weight of the F404-100D of the Super Skyhawk)

-What is its thrust and specific consumption??
(I have the full military power (dry) consumption (in kg/(daN.h) ) and thrust of the F414, M88, EJ200 etc etc..., all the engine but the F404!!! )


Well, whatever you have ;)
But the most important thing is the weight ;)



Oh yes!! Another question!!
I supposed that the weight of the F404-100D is much lower than the J52 weight, right? (For the Super Etendard, the dry ATAR even has a bigger weight than the AB M88!!)
How the engineer succeed in puting the F404 into the A-4 without modificate the gravity and stability of the entire plane?? By the adjonction of more weight on the rear part of the fuselage? (fuel, ECM ??)
