Calderon said that since the engine's flight testing will take at least a year, and since the Pucara modernisation also includes avionics, plans are now being considered to perhaps include a full glass cockpit and systems similar to the Pampa's combat version. Twenty Pucaras are expected to be fully modernised beginning in 2017, with deliveries planned to end in 2019.

El problema es que los argentinos fabricaron el Pucara casi de forma artesanal por lo que no hay dos conjuntos alares iguales entre ellos, lo que complica y encarece aun mas la motorizacion del Pucara.

Por otro lado lo que se sabe es que el modelo remotorizado ha volado, de eso hay testimonios graficos, lo que no se sabe es si esos vuelos fueron satisfactorios.

Mucho me temo que quede en otro proyecto nomas.
