The latest planes are the best, we can catch up quickly with some good leadership which we have.
Catching up is not easy. It takes decades while your rival is ahead.
I do have faith that the Turks will build a great jet.

We have only a few years to see how our efforts will turn out. Kızılelma, Hürjet and TFX are only a few short years away. Kızılelma and Hürjet flights are even months away.Catching up is not easy. It takes decades while your rival is ahead.

Do they (USA) have more experience, money, personal and resources? Yes, they have. But what is our advantage? We can fall back of current technologies and up to date findings. For example, no one in aviation use graphen, its the newest "technology" (material). We can easily switch to this material in our projects. Aother example is the using of the newest CPU. Or 3D printer, which we use right now.If the TFX is on par with a lot of jets im happy with that but lets be honest.
Americans have been making planes for like 100 years with this you have planes like the F117 Nighthawk, F22, F16, F35, F14 Tomcat, F15, B2 Spirit bomber, B1B Lancer, FA 18 Hornet, F111, A10 Thunderbolt and various other planes.
what is your sourceThe UK wants Turkiye on the Tempest program. Turkiye can bring the real capability to the Tempest program especially costs can be reduced a lot with the Turkish contribution.
That sure sounds like a blessing for our aviation industry (it will certainly boost capability and income), unless we somehow blow this one as well, just like the F35 program…The UK wants Turkiye on the Tempest program. Turkiye can bring the real capability to the Tempest program especially costs can be reduced a lot with the Turkish contribution.
If it is of any interest to you, these are likely sources of such rumours;what is your source

This plane is planned so that first examples will be available after 2035.then why are we spending and wasting billions on TFX? what kind benefits will we get from it?
A manned fighter plane that can achieve hypersonic speeds is a little far fetched with today’s known current technology. Even an unmanned one will be subjected to such stresses and air friction levels that only above a very high altitude can it be considered.If these rumours are true, I really hope that the Tempest is already planned to be hypersonic. Both the USA and China will have hypersonic 6th gen fighters.
I wonder how this would be approached. Variable cycle engines combined with ramjets? Perhaps rotating detonation engines? A really interesting period is coming for military aviation.
Pulsejet ? Isn't that tech a bit less mature to be utilised on a plane directlyPerhaps rotating detonation engines?
Rotating detonation engines definitely need a decade or so to be ready. From what I've heard they have immense potential, both in terms of efficiency and thrust levels. Their stability is the main issue right now. If their design is perfected, they will have the ability to power hypersonic aircraft, no need for two different engines for different speeds.Pulsejet ?

Difficult but within reach… All we have to do is leave behind the traditional black and white notions and adopt a multi-lateral foreign policy.Dang, this has been my dream scenario since the F35 fiasco. But with the Swedes onboard this seems difficult to realize.
Main issue is if you want continuous thrust ,you need multiple combustion unit , and if you use enough number of such unit , it may increase the sizeRotating detonation engines definitely need a decade or so to be ready.

UK is striving to become a center of gravity, gradually distancing herself from the EU. And Turkey is one of the countries she desires to work with in this regard. Standing at the doorsteps of Nato, Sweden has little to say if and when we shake hands with the UK for the Tempest Project.
Turkey has a wild card, it will bring a fortune if we use it with proven logic, and keep our vocal chords and balls off the game…
