she's a wolf though.. wouldn't it be more appropriate to name a plane after a flying animal?

Yup I think it should be Turkish name of either Eagle, Falcon, but dont use word like "Konrul", the problem is on "N" that comes in between, doesnt sound good.

Or just say it TF 23 is already OK, for the nick name it should be used as Nick Name. The plane name should be TF23, unless if you can find something beautiful like the word "Asena", TF23 Asena

Why not write down your suggestion for a name for the TFX/MMU in your signature.

"TfX part production has started, our assembly equipment is being prepared, our prototype building is being constructed. We will then move on to component assemblies and the final assembly process. Towards the end of the year, we will be able to see TFX MMU on its components and with the landing gear integrated."

"The design of the TFX MMU model, which will make its first flight in 2025, is about to freeze. Its wind tunnel tests continue. We need to do thousands of hours of flight test activities with that model."

The nose look different than previous design
By previous design are you referring to the mock-up? Yes it does look quite a bit different. Function over form, we already knew that aesthetically pleasing design wasn't gonna last :/ Design activities aren't finished though, and I think there will be multiple differences between the prototypes and the initial production variants.

Mr. Uğur ZENGİN: "There are 2250 main carrier structural parts on TFX. Some of them are composite, the other part is titanium and aluminum parts. As of today, the design of approximately 1000 of these 2250 pieces has been completed and transferred to production. 500 of them are about to be transferred to production. In other words, we can say that 75% of our TFX structural parts are ready to a certain extent."

No offense but 1500 out of 2250 makes 67% rather than 75.
Perhaps he calculates the finished portion of the remaining 750 parts into the overall.
