TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

Mr Kotil: "6th generation aircraft will be unmanned (while telling the features of Anka-3)"

 

[Oublious]

Although it does not overlap one by one exactly, I think there will be a main backbone as follows

F-22, F-35 - MMU KAAN programme
Gripen NG like 4++ light combat jet - Hurjet Naval

??? - KIZILELMA
MQ-25, MQ-20 etc.- ANKA-3 A/B/C

MQ-4, RQ-4 etc - ANKA-II(?), AKINCI(?)
Reaper / Predator - ANKA-I , ANKA-AKSUNGUR, KIZILELMA
GA Mojave - TB-3

ther is no single country except USA with different platforms like us...

As per the CEO KAAN is capable of carrying 10 tonnes of payload INTERNALLY

 

[BordoEnes]

When we look at 6th generation concept of UK, we can see that there are many design similarities with KAAN. That's why I think KAAN will be evolved into a 6th generation aircraft with future blocks.

What is a distinguishable feature and capability of a 6th generation aircrafts? What sets it apart from a 5th generation?

TF-X early assembly phase

Hurjet Iron Bırd

Nice, it is even 500-700kg more than F-22. Makes sense though, KHAAN is bigger.

I don't think that's what he really meant btw.

What did he mean then?

He should be declared a national hero of Turkiye along with Ismail Demir and the venerable Mahmut F. Aksit the three horsemen of Turkish defence industry.

How can it carry 10 tons payload when the F15 the bomb truck with the same engines can carry max 7300 kg. And he said that the 10 tons capacity for IWBs?

There must be a misunderstanding.

If he is talking about internal load then It should include fuel and integrated payload.
Externally it can carry more than an F-15 as it is bigger and will have more powerful engines.

Mr Kotil: "We're working on 6th generation aircraft"

Since one of the most significant features of a 6th gen fighter is the absence of vertical tails, of course as far as anybody knows because the indicators of this generation are not quite set yet, Turkish Aerospace with its gained experiences from both MMU and Anka III, I believe they will show the world a miracle. If they started working on a 6th gen fighter, I won't be surprised if they were the first to roll out one and build the prototype, earlier than the giants who have started years ago.
So far TA has shown the world what they're capable of. Imagine that after another decade of gleaned knowledge.

Go TA!

Once we have a Tf35000 on the bench or on KAAN, we won't be facing any engine embargoes, imo.

I agree to a point. But never underestimate West’s hold on their technological prowess. They will never like to relinquish what they have, that easily. They will do their best to hamper our engine development pursuits.
We need a family of engines developed from TF6000/10000 that will power Hurjet and KAAN in the form of TF20000 and TF35000, as well as a range of turboshafts like TS1400, TS2000 and TS3000.
Our fight in engine manufacturing will not end there. We will have to produce adaptive cycle version of these turbofan engines that will use new technologies such as Ceramic Matrix Composites. That is the natural processes that will come with innovation.

What will be the difference between a 5. and 6. generation fighter jet?

Lots of outdated info tbh

@Fuzuli NL
US has flown 6th gen demonstrator in 2020 so I think that Lockheed is still very ahead of everyone.

i could see China and Turkey behind slightly but ahead of Russia and Europe depending on how cohesive their programs are.

That s enough,just 5years before,no one think Turkiye Fighter jet can even match Taiwan or Japanese.

10 years before almost everyone guess Japanese would achieve 5 th jet and better than Chinese one within 10 years
