Is it illegal to marry an airplane?

Is it illegal to marry an airplane?

After doing some search it appears, one cannot legally marry an inanimate object in any country (including Türkiye)

Are the locations of those vertical stabilizers final? Apparently the location of those vertical stabilizers have an adverse effect on the stealth of the aircraft. (or so i heard)

TF-35000 part design studies started.

No, it was done to manage RCS in fact. Currently, the plan is to keep them as they are. We will see what TAI comes up with in the not too distant future.

@Heartbang
You probably meant IIR signature exposure?

 

[uçuyorum]

I have no idea but If someone knows, do the vertical stabilizers need to align with diverter plate/ inlets angle to reduce RCS? I always imagined that was the reason

No, radar signature.

I was refering to the fact of vertical stabilizers being directly on the engine humps.

Notice the F-22's vertical stabilizers' position. They are not mounted on the engine humps, just right next to it.

And this is KAAN for comparison:

I know what you are referring to. But like I said... There currently are, in the short term at least, no plans to move the vertical stabilizers to the side booms.

Where did you hear that the vertical stabilisers' location will adversely affect RCS?

Had a discussion about it on Discord

The placement of vertical stabilizers are nothing to do with RCS. They must be angled for low visibility, not 90 degree like we see on f15 or MIGs. I think the placements are more related with flight performance

As far as I'm aware, there's no reason the location of those stabilisers should adversely affect RCS. Their location has little to do with the engines or RCS, they are placed where they are due to aerodynamic factors like vortex flow from the nose-inlet junctions. Because Kaan's engines are further apart than the F-22's to make space for the rear facing radar/electronics complex, the stabilisers end up being on top of them.
