Hopefully when they upload the first flight video there's no music. I want to hear that thing fly by.

Now it's TISU's turn. We will be eagerly waiting the day when it will appear in all its glory. I know that there is no example of fighter drones that will create a force multiplier in the world except for experimental models and Turkiye has become a country that is being followed in the field of unmanned jets and bombers. History will be rewritten the day our unmanned fighter jets, which will be equipped with domestic AESA radar, firing our own BVR missile in conflict zones to shoots down a manned aircraft. Those are the aircrafts that will come one night suddenly against enemies.

Btw, I think TISU is designed with the air intakes on the upper part and will stand out more with its stealth and sensor technology. Aircraft with the air intakes on the top absorb lower amount of air required for the engine during sharp maneuvers and lose power, hence the mission profiles of these type of aircrafts are evaluated in this context so sensor fusion and stealth features will be special for TISU so I think TUSAŞ will use sensor fusion and surveillance systems developed for TFX on the TISU.

MIUS on the other hand was designed with the air intakes on the side and designed with canards. This means MIUS is designed for sharp maneuvers with a stealth fuselage with weapons taken inside the fuselage and will find its place in this mission profile in conflicts. They will be allocated to missions where they can maximize their capabilities with uniquely designed tactics in accordance to their characteristics. When the twin engine versions of these fighter drones arrive, the rules of the game will be rewritten.

When these two fighter drones are combined with their big brother TFX, the result will be an unbeatable and unreachable capabilities and tactics that will put the Turkiye in giants league.

wen will we see tisu

What is this at KE closse to engine ?

Alot of attached parts in its body doesnt make it less steathy ?

It is a prototype and not the final product. Can you all stop trying to judge a product on its prototype?

Man if the Americans did the same the F-22 and F-35 would have never existed.

Y'all gonna loose your mind when you see the TF-X prototype. I can see it already.

Will Kızılelma be able to carry 2 som js in its internal bays? and how many gökdoğan do you guess?

The TF-X looks surprisingly well developed imho but yea I agree

Jacop · Nov 20, 2022

and a few assembly flaws. and too many removable parts for a fast jet. I would have expected a smoother body

First thing is a moving part, probably for APU or auxiliary intake for high AoA manuevers.

And this is a prototype, most of these are testing equipment and some temporary solutions from Akıncı platform, final product will be lot different, look at X-35/F-35 or even first prototypes of F-35

it is the first flying prototype . Many things will change. Right now flying is more important than full stealth.

I think that is a fake nozzle, better appearance and aerodynamics, I hope it is helping to hide thermal signature or probably it is a placeholder for future/larger engine.

About flaws, I think they are extremely rushing this project to please "someone" that is why these prototypes looks very incomplete and with a lot of flaws. Of course these are just prototypes it will hopefully become better in time, if they don't do it just for show off.

Well Baykar is not TAI or LockMart. It's normal for them to struggle a lot more when it comes to designing, manufacturing and assembling an aircraft of this calibre. Assembly issues aside (which could be caused by Baykar's manufacturing techniques), we really shouldn't be speaking of build quality here. What we are seeing is a working prototype, and that's good enough. That's the entire point of a prototype. Manufacturing excellence tends to improve overtime, and it should be the least of our concerns as things stand.

Me too. But this is an easy problem to fix. For example, I would design a solid shell body like the YF-23.

The real issue is making the AI running inside it properly.

US, Russian, Ukrainian and Azerbaijani sources are already started to cover this news,

Could be anything man. Space X blew like a thousand rockets to get stuff right. It was expected

Tbh they had wrongly manufacturered parts in Akıncı PT01
