How do we know TFX's MTOW?
Meaning it would follow J-20's development, they had similar problems with the initial engines on the prototype.I had noticed the weight being off earlier and this may be related to the fact that the TFX need to be powered with a lesser engine in its initial iteration and will be upgraded to its full potential later on with following iterations powered by a domestic engine. When powered by a domestic engine its MTOW will probably increase allowing for an increased payload capacity as well. And remember that the TFX is expected to have better agility than other fighters calculated based on its geometry. Se the sketch in my signature.
Wha?TAI and RR are in talks over VTOL system for MMU.

TUSAŞ might have intentionally released 60k lbs. Early released info and mockups known to be different than the product.

Let's try to guess MTOW (maximum takeoff weight)Forward fuselage: 1470kg
Mid body with wings: 2125kg
Aft fuselage: 3945kg
Horizontal stabs: 2x 235kg=470kg
Vertical stabs: unknown but for convenience sake we use the same weight as the horizontal stabilizers even though they are smaller=2x235kg=470kg?
Cockpit section: unknown but IMO 1000kg?
2x F110 engines and accessoires: 2x2000kg=4000kg
Landing gears, hydraulics and electronics= Estimated 2000kg?
Estimated empty weight TF-X= 15500kg +/- 10? = 34.000 libre
