SSB Chairman İsmail Demir: There is no supply risk for MMU's engine

- “We do not expect any risk as the deliveries of our first batch of orders have started, but we still have alternative works”
- “We are doing risk management on this issue, we will announce it when the time come"

TAI head Temel Kotil stated that the MMU engine will work in 2022. If assembly is to begin at the end of 2022, it will be very difficult to complete the production of the prototype within this year.

There is an error in one of these two posts.

The production of TFX only needs to be completed before 18 March 2023 when it is planned to roll out of the hanger for show. The statement "the TFX engine will work in 2022" (which I had not heard before) should mean a static run of the engine installed on the plane at best (as opposed to an uninstalled test run).

Would be a beautiful name!

 

[TheInsider]

Beautiful name. TF (Turkish Fighter) 23 (2023,100th anniversary of Turkish Republic and first roll-out year of the fighter) Anatolian Eagle.

 

[tayyare]

It's the name suggested by a former Air Force general on I think nokta tv or something. It's not official afaik

TF-23 / Anadolu Kartalı
Turkish Fighter 2023 (an English name marking first roll out year) / Andolu Kartalı (eagle) (name Ana+dolu / mother+full/filled , derived from Anatolia)
"Anadolu sözcüğü Yunanca doğu veya gündoğumu anlamına gelen Ανατολή sözcüğünden türemiştir"

TM-25 / Zafer (victory)
Türk Muharip (warrior/warring) 2025 (Turkish name marking year of first flight)

Year 2023 predates year 2025 giving 23 as a name makes the plane look older than it actually is.

We shouldn't give it an Arabic name.

 

[Zafer]

We shouldn't give it an Arabic name.

How about an English or a Greek name; should we name the Turkish Fighter jet with such a name.

Hear me out: TF-23 Konrul.

From Wikipedia:
"In Turkic mythology, Konrul, also Kongrul and Konqrul (Azeri: Qonrul, قنرل, Гонрул) is a long-lived bird that is cyclically regenerated or reborn, similar to a phoenix."

Does it have an English translation?

A Turkic name is ideal of course. I like TF-23 Asena. It's the mythical wolf from Oghuz Turk foundation stories.

 

[Yasar_TR]

Are we going to have pages and pages of futile discussion on ”supposed“ name of TFX again?
Can we stay on topic please!

 

[LegionnairE]

Seems like a fine name to me

Not sounds good in my ear though, why don have 2 version, Turkish and English ?

Asena seems great name, sounds and look good
