Half shares of Motor Sich, one of the largest aircraft engine factories in Ukraine, can be sold to Baykar.
They have some good motors. Hopefully we buy half of the shares, then Ukraine and Turkey will be working cheek to cheek and our combined efforts will make Motor Sıç flow like a river.The never ending story of Motor Sıç...
TV3 engine of Motor Sich is planned to be used in ATAK 2 and cargo helicopter projects.
If TRmotor could takeover 50% of Motor Sich it would be very good (also for developing the TFx engine)
But it would cost ~$3.5bln
The important thing is to learn the intricacies of design. If we can find out, then we can develop our own interpretation faster. The fact that the design is original should not be a priority for us. The issue will depend on how quickly we grasp their design and how quickly we develop better versions of it. So we shouldn't be able to think about these issues until we develop our own product family.How likely is it that TEI would continue the development of TS3000 if such a route is taken; granted - Ukrainian engine will save a lot of time, money and likely we won't see any restrictions on exports, but.. mili..
If Motor Sich could build an AI41 or even an AI31 copy , then I would jump in to this opportunity. But at the moment they are good at building what they have in their current library. Mainly high by-pass civil airliner engines, small cruise missile engines and turbo shafts and also a small supersonic capable trainer/light attack craft engine which the Chinese are using.The important thing is to learn the intricacies of design.

I'm saying this because we have a very limited time for R&D. We don't have 10 years. Any way to speed up our business is a priority for us.
Turkey's first Medium Range Missile Engine TEI-TJ300, class of 1342 N, reaching 240mm in diameter with a thrust broke the world record.
TEI-TJ300; It can be applied to air, naval and land defense systems.
I bet they are using thicker material for prototypes and probably they can go for flimsier for production. They should hit a balance for durability and weight. But the primary goal is making it work and the secondary goal is to make it work better.I wouldn't imagine it could sustain it for that long, after all these engine are single use and should use cheapest material possible. Still, damn fine engineering from TEI.

The closest competitor has a 250mm diameter and 1250N thrust. TJ-300 is lighter, smaller but produces more thrust. I think TEI did enough optimizations TEI should get to the reliability and durability tests ASAP like rain, hail tests etc.
Probably, but this size engines usually have cooler exhaust temperature and it is easier to make turbine blades which are probably cast as a single unit like blisks.They are mentioning Tubitak in their post, I wonder what for? Single Crystal turbine blades ?
