TR TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

probably not.

LWIR?

LWIR?

Makes more sense, I never heard SWIR can function as long range IRST. It mostly detects reflected Infra-red Similar to visible light if I am not mistaken.

How does this eots work?

 

[Cabatli_TR]

Mr Kotil: "There will be antennas on the rear overhang between the engines and TFX will monitor/listen everywhere "

 

[Oublious]

How does this eots work?

I have a theory, something like the Jamesweb telescope but not complicated. In the end it have miror like a telscope.

How does EOTS compare to targeting pods?

How does EOTS compare to targeting pods?

It's newer inside. Greatest advantage tho is as it's basically embedded in the hull, it has a tiny effect on radar signature and doesn't take up a slot under the body on pylons. A stealth fighter with a targeting pod wouldn't be stealth as it's not "clean".

How does EOTS compare to targeting pods?

Unlike targeting pods It lacks TV imagery, and SWIR.

Are we working on VTOL for our MMU?

I do not believe that is being worked on currently, no. A two-seater is in the works.

Not on our own, but maybe with RR.

 

[MADDOG]

Not on our own, but maybe with RR.

Hmmm... I doubt it.

 

[MADDOG]

The design won't change much, no.

Or it might a little bit.

Now that is very interesting. I wonder if they are planning for it to be a drone controller for KE and Anka-3 as they accompany TF-X, not to fly them but give them orders to follow or something like that.

IMO they can do with only a single pilot by offloading the flying duties to the AI and let the pilot just manage drones/weapons/sensors/etc. So I think the 2-seat version will be purely a trainer.

Mr.Kotil:
MMU can fly supersonic for hours ( in combat)up to mach 2 without afterburners like real GEN 5 Fighters.

(While F-16 in Combat maneuver can't fly supersonic)

Or it might a little bit.

In that case I'd like to order one pair of all moving v-tails, as in GCAP. Thank you

Mr Kotil: "Preliminary work on MMU's engine has been going on for 3 years at TRMOTOR. We've come to a certain point. The engines of someTFX to be delivered until 2028 will be Turkish engines"

 

[Zafer]

If TEI pull this off it will be a monster engine made in just 8 years. Over and beyond expectations.
