Do the proportions in this AI-made side view of the KAAN look right?

MKE 2025 yearly report says that they finished RnD for Radar absorbent Nano materials that can be used as structural elements in aircrafts. Doubt it would be used in Kaan but I don't know where else to put it

Cant even build proper munitions/guns in the past but all of a sudden its LM. We have a couple of smaller companies working on Ram coating but those are most like the more budget friendly options to reduce Rcs without great investments. At most these are for guided munitions

Yeah it saying it can be used as structural material made me think of Kamikaze drones. It is probably a composite that will slightly reduce the rcs or that would be the most logical explanation

🔴EXCLUSIVE | TUSAŞ General Manager Mehmet Demiroğlu:

"(Regarding KAAN's engines) We already have 10 F110 engines in stock for our prototypes.

As of July 9, we can say we've received export licenses for 80 more engines. The rest are standard procedures.

We'll work with the GE team to get the engines on time.

We have 2-2.5 years until serial production. There's no issue in getting these engines on time to support our serial production."

As this was not a FMS sale, we don't have the details. Doubt these will be license built; but probably assembled here?
