    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    It is stated that GüçHan will only be a technology demonstration model and will not go into mass production. And it is also stated that the design of the compressor, especially in the cold sector, will change. If this is the case, this project is starting to seem quite meaningless to me. I'm...

    TR Propulsion Systems

    The certifying body (EASA) is an EU body. Even if they don't have problems with us, they are incredibly inefficient. I suggest you direct your disappointment to EASA.

    TR Propulsion Systems

    I can't say anything about the missile. Unlike the turbofan engine model, the missile model on display has the dimensions of a missile capable of achieving what they claim. As for the engine, the situation is tragicomic. What they displayed was a plain F110 engine. (Not even a copy, they...

    TR Propulsion Systems

    This is probably a veiled message to the USA: "If you don't sell us the F-110s, we'll copy them, and we've already copied six." But I think it contains a major technical misjudgment. Copying jet engines is harder than manufacturing the engine itself. They'll notice it during the qualification test.

    Here we go. Very fishy.

    Live Conflict Israel-US vs Iran War (2026)

    First of all, thank you for your reply. I disagree with your opinion. In my view, this gain isn't worth the risk. If the real aim of this policy is to constantly pressure the oil-producer Arab states, then that's another matter. Or perhaps the USA administrations is entirely composed of...

    Live Conflict Israel-US vs Iran War (2026)

    So why did the USA make a 180-degree turn from this policy? And the question I'm really curious about is: What factor remained the same that allows them to continue this policy at the same level? After all, even the Soviet Union collapsed during this time?

    TR UAV/UCAV Programs | Anka - series | Kızılelma | TB - series

    Actually, I was referring to the Akıncı. If it has radar and cost-effective missiles, it would be suitable for that task. Because iAkıncı can stay in the air for a relatively long time while on patrol duty.

    TR UAV/UCAV Programs | Anka - series | Kızılelma | TB - series

    I believe we are currently in a transitional phase in drone warfare. Within five years, we will start countering drones with drones and missiles with missiles. Then, economic sustainability in defensive warfare will begin to emerge a little bit. The current position is illogical; we're deploying...

    EASA certification with the LHTEC CTS-800 engine is expected to be completed this month. How about TEI TS-1400 engine?

    TR HÜRJET-Advanced Jet Trainer/ Light attack aircraft

    There's something else that worries me. Even if those sluggish Europeans develop a single-use version of the EJ-200, what will the production speed be? If production is left to the Europeans, it will progress at a snail's pace. By the way, I'm seriously wondering why they didn't do this...

    TR HÜRJET-Advanced Jet Trainer/ Light attack aircraft

    The EJ-200/230, customized for single-use applications, solves many problems at once. It would be a non-US option for the Gripen. The same goes for the Hürjet. It could even be the ultimate engine solution for the Kızılelma.
