TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

[IC3M@N FX]

Things are finally starting to move forward – it’s taken long enough. I hope they’ll be flying in August or September and that there’ll be loads of Sorties.

See the vertical stab bases, more than one test, or more than one prototype.

Every other big avionic except the yıldırım DIRCM seems to be in place. Do we know where and when it will be integrated?

Not sure that it will anymore i know that they showed it in older pictures but we haven't seen any new info about that

Looks so much different and more complete now....

Massive radome. At least 1 meter aperture. 43% bigger than current APG-81's 700mm aperture and roughly 10% bigger than APG-77 910mm aperture.

Larger surface area than the F-22 (and probably a greater radome), longer than the Su-57, and wider than the J-20... KAAN’s 4 tail stabilizer surfaces alone likely have a larger total surface area than an F-16’s wings area. No wonder it looks so majestic during taxi tests

Finally it looks like a real fighter.

Türkiye must ensure the security of the most important engineers we have, the closer we get to finishing KAAN the more dangerous it probably gets for them.
I don't think I have to convince people here that there are countries in this region that do not want us to achieve this 5th gen fighter jet.

There are substantial differences, the P1 seems a little lower in height. From the ground to the air intake (blue line)
The cockpit cupola height and width are different, a lower profile.

Hay diferencias sustanciales, el P1 parece un poco más bajo en altura. Desde el suelo hasta la entrada de aire (línea azul)
La cúpula de la cabina tiene una altura y anchura diferentes, con un perfil más bajo.

Although the P1 seems to have a little more wingspan, it is actually that it is "closer" in the photo.

 

[Zafer]

Major modifications highlighted

I love this this back section of Kaan, it really is beautiful.

Btw seems like there are a lot of space in Kaan "cheeks", how about put build-in ladder in it?
