Yeah, looks like they tuned the PID controllers with data from the first flight. I hope they keep GTU-0 flying, if only for testing avionics and basic flight controls.

Isn't the main gearbox of ATAK-II the same as T-925? I always saw the test flight last year as more of proof of concept for the mechanical portions of both, placed in a attack helicopter shell for... reasons. It isn't a big deal if ATAK-II is put on the back burner as long as progress is being...

F-35 APG-81 SAR imaging for air-to-ground attack, having multiple arrays or a repositionable one isn't a significant advantage for this use-case:

And still no supersonic flight. Maybe this first prototype is built to only test the subsonic envelope? In the documentary there were two prototypes being built, but we haven't seen the second one since.

This is great, but I would prefer a MediaWiki-based platform (like Fandom) for flexibility and version control. I also think using an existing wiki platform (again, like Fandom) would help with search engine optimization (SEO). There are XenForo wiki plugins that can come close, so if we stick...

Continuing discussion here. What you said is sadly true, but it's unfortunately the reality of Wikipedia. My hope is that we could have something like radartutorial.eu, which is so beyond Wikipedia, they're basically not worth comparing when looking up radar-related stuff. For me it doesn't...

Continuing my rant, I'd like to propose an English language wiki (free from idiotic Wikipedia mods) headed by a babayiğit from this forum on cutting-edge Turkish defence projects—starting with the KAAN. I'd like to envision it as a neutral, leading source of truth on open-source info on such...

This guy can't even keep basic facts straight: dates of embargoes, missile ranges, etc. It's a shame such lowest common denominator sources are so popular...

I mentioned my opinions on this a while back. Back in 2018, there was talk of a joint-venture between TAI and Antonov on a jet-powered version of the An-70. Not only that but the An-70 is one of few aircraft powered by a propfan (the Progress D-27). CFM's rise and RR's UltraFan use modern...

My theory, BİLGEM piggybacked FCS off other computers like the Central Management Computer, since they share a common architecture. The other computers don't do a lot right now, so it makes sense. Therefore, I believe the systems are in-house, but a full independent computer isn't installed for...

They're quite transparent in the slide. If they'd used a Leonardo FCS they'd mention it. "Computers: TUBITAK". Secondo Mona, fuel system (Italy) OMA, hydraulic power (Italy) Martin Baker, ejection seat (UK) General Electric, engines (USA) Airtificial, active sidestick (Spain) Aerosonic, air...

Listen closely to Putin: His imperial ambitions could include Turkey Yes, it's NATO propaganda, but the author does make a salient point on right-wing and historic Russian sentiment towards Turkey, and especially Istanbul.

This article also mentions how MAM will handle the canopy. Full translation: Turkey's developed 5th generation fighter aircraft, KAAN, took off from the runway, meeting the sky as it lifted its wheels off the ground. The flight, which held the breath of all Turkey, also made a great impact...

From open sources, job listings give a good idea as well, but there aren't any open right now: CAD/CAM: Dassault CATIA & Siemens NX Engineering Simulation: Ansys and in-house tools OS: TÜBİTAK BİLGEM (GzİS) Avionics: ASELSAN Training Sim: HAVELSAN I think flight control algorithms are...
