TR HÜRJET-Advanced Jet Trainer/ Light attack aircraft

[Heartbang]

The first F404 is on its way and will be delivered in a couple of days for the Hürjet prototype, as stated by Tolga Özbek here:

WTF didn't they delivered those engines before?

Here's another cursory analysis of the current state of TF-X's avionics and computer systems: this time the National Mission Computer, presented by Mustafa Varank back in November. Keep in mind, I am a lowly software engineer, and not a military embedded systems engineer so everything is probably wrong. However, I can say that the NMC appears to be a modern design broadly in line with the US DoD's Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA). Everything is solid-state (no moving parts), unlike the current F-35 ICP, which uses the notoriously hot running IBM PowerPC architecture thus requiring fans. The NMC is likely using a multi-core variant of ÇAKIL as its CPU, which implements the efficient and open-source RISC-V microarchitecture. Its GPU is unknown but the PCI-E slot and AMD Radeon E8860 support listed for Bilgem's Real Time Operating System (GİS) suggests that they are probably using a COTS Radeon E8860 Embedded GPU for the time being.

Presented were two seemingly different components. However, I think the bare board camera-left is a test bench configuration of the complete system camera-right.

Feedback/corrections from any computer engineers is very much welcome.

I wonder why we gave the flight control computer job of HÜRJET to Malaysia? Is it because of the tender in Malaysia?

Yes, a good level of national (Malaysian) input was needed for Malaysian LCA/LIFT tender

It being developed by Turkish Aerospace Malaysia. A wholly owned subsidiary of TAI. By developing it in Malaysia, they are taking advantage of the technological base and workforce of the country and acquiring know-how.

This is the prototype of HÜRJET that will make its first flight. We had the opportunity to visit a few days ago. Engine integration has not yet been realized. It will probably start ground tests quickly after the F404 integration, maybe it has already started.

Did GE company deliver the F404 engines?

Correct, that is the P1. Footage seems to be old. Probably back when she was lowered on her landing gears. I'm saying this, because this pic in particular popped up at a lobby somewhere. So I'm guessing it is old enough. But we can't say for sure since technicians constantly remove the canopy, radome, etc.

Seems to be from engine ignition testing. Notice the ramp in the back

Who is the guy next to Mr. Kotil? He doesn't look Turkish. Malaysian or Qatari official? He even has a flag on his suit. Must be a foreign offical...

Notice the firefighters in the background.

This is a big relief for me. There was a trace of thought lingering in my head if we are being sanctioned for the engines of Hurjet but this news cleared the picture.

I hope he is Malaysian

They could be waiting for it the inter-mass production, sort of like what happened with the Germans and the Altay tank.

How can I find some palm oil to get accustomed to.

He is Anıl Şahin, not a Malaysian guy.

He is Anıl Şahin, not a Malaysian guy.

Definitely not, the submental fat on the guy in the picture, among many other things, says otherwise.
