TAI is a laggard, Baykar is a gogetter.

They can poach some good engineers or outsource some of the development and order some parts fom like TEI, why not.

Even when it is not a priority if there is a difference of more than a year to service you want the early one to be in service rather than waiting for the better one and it can be a different product too.

Once you make everything else on the plane ready to go a new engine can be a new version of the same plane without much development time to spend. If Baykar makes the ideal engine for the plane it can finally be the main configuration. With several engine options it will be possible to deliver...

While Kızılelma needs the TF10000 engine to attain its designed capabilities the TF6000 engine only lacks the afterburner power that the TF10000 engine offers. AB is used in rare situations, this means that the TF6000 can still do a job if you do not foresee a high power requirement in a given...

It is an average Round Trip Time latency in satellite communications and not specific to Kızılelma. 100ms RTT is for landlines I believe. I am not sure if the Uluğbey satellite constellation at 510 km altitude will have a better latency, and perhaps it will if the 2 second delay is on the 36000...

Target plane was under tracking so it won't matter if the missile is fired by a person or by the machine. The person can only know what the machine reports, once firing requirements are fed into the machine it can fire the missile itself.

Kızılelma will be re-engined in a couple of years and will probably be already supersonic with one TF10000 engine, (needs to be seen yet). A twin engine version can be more capable naturally. Coms latency is only relevant in close combat, can possibly be improved in the future.

Kızılelma will have some communication latency of 2+ seconds that creates some disadvantage in dogfights. It has a smaller payload capacity than the F16. Feel free to break down what else you think is a shortcoming.

And perhaps test every six months?

And how do we pay it back, possibly with the Çelik Kubbe, as they need something to protect themselves and they can't wait for Kaan to come online.

Minister Bayraktar "Nadir toprak elementleri alanında bu pilot tesisimizle %92 93'lere vardığımız bir yerlilik seviyesine, bir saflaştırma seviyesine geldik." At the pilot facility we have already reached 93% purification level. Now this is promising.

Too many words, please be concise.

Gezgin is meant to be a turbofan while there is no turbofan engine announced yet and Arat engine is turbojet. However while Arat is cited as a turbojet engine it is defined to be a more efficient engine which actually suggests a turbofan engine.

For how long, you would be too late to start making once you start expecting sanctions, profitability isn't everything, you need to prepare the capability. We go for an engine that can be used in all of our medium size planes which would be an Airbus 320Neo size with a 2 meter turbofan. We need...
