Hello, I am Gaucho, I use Google Translate (sorry). If you have any questions or corrections, please let me know. I was thinking about being part of the forum and some details that I observed about this new Kaan encouraged me to share my thoughts and become a member, I've been reading them for about a year. It is not the same plane as the inaugural presentation, there are changes and that is good, I hope it continues to evolve. I leave you the images and you will see the differences in my opinion.

1-Slight change in the nose, inclination a few degrees downward.

2- Due to the above, between the nose and the sail the pilot has a greater downward vision. (Sensor locations are canceled for the first flight)

3-For what has been said, there is a minimal change in the front design of the cockpit dome (It now has a profile more similar to the F-35)

4-The landing gears are different, it seems that they are more robust (f/a18 hornet type :) )... Aircraft carrier type?

5- The front landing gear doors close. From what I have always noticed, they were open at all times, but the ones on the rear axle were not.IMG_20240226_205857.jpg

6- And I think we already know that elevators are even bigger. Well, I wanted to share this with you, best regards.

Why isn't MIT killing people like him who disturbs the bit of harmony we have in the Country on purpose. A strong state should always obliterate traitors and similar people.
That's because the end of this road leads to Hell. As a result of that mind set the following happens: First, election boards are established and these boards prevent those who do not like the current government from participating in the elections. Then, even a single person is prevented by law from protesting. Then the opposition figures die one by one. The result: Putin's "strong" Russia. In other words, it is a hell that people are afraid to even think about. That's why we tolerate these types of trolls.

So,who is this guy,whats his status?
Exactly!
He is a political analyst who jumps on any good piece of news that can damage the other/opposite political side, without actually investigating, and without truly knowing the ins and outs of the subject he is talking about. Instead of sticking to what he does best as a political newscaster/analyst, he thinks he has a valid news he can use to damage the administration.
I never liked him and my gut feeling has been proven correct with all the BS he is talking in this clip.

God has given us a mouth to utter words; But also has given us a mind and varying degrees of intelligence to use it wisely whilst speaking. I guess some of us are not blessed with using both in cohesion.

Hola como soy Gaucho, uso Google Translate (lo siento). Si tiene alguna pregunta o corrección, hágamelo saber.
Estaba pensando en ser parte del foro y algunos detalles que observé sobre este nuevo Kaan me animaron a compartir mis dudas y ser un miembro más,
Los he estado leyendo durante aproximadamente un año.

No es el mismo avión de la presentación inaugural, hay cambios y eso es bueno, espero que siga evolucionando.

Te dejo las imágenes y verás las diferencias en mi opinión.

1-Ligero cambio en la nariz, inclinación unos grados hacia abajo. View attachment 66031

2- Debido a lo anterior, entre el morro y la vela el piloto tiene una mayor visión hacia abajo. (Sensor locations are canceled for the first flight)

3-Por lo dicho, hay un mínimo cambio en el diseño frontal de la cúpula de la cabina (Ahora tiene un perfil más parecido al F-35) View attachment 66032

4-Los trenes de aterrizaje son diferentes, parece que son más robustos (f/a18 tipo hornet :) )... ¿Tipo portaaviones? View attachment 66029

5- Se cierran las puertas del tren de aterrizaje delantero. Por lo que siempre he notado, estaban abiertos en todo momento, pero los del eje trasero no. View attachment 66030
El tamaño y el espesor de la ru

6- Y creo que ya sabemos que los ascensores son aún más grandes.


Bueno, quería compartir esto contigo, saludos cordiales.
In English please,no other language.
En inglés por favor, ningún otro idioma.

Much more quiet than I expected. Which is good because when we talk about stealth, sonic signature is also included in that.

And this footage is also a testament to how supermaneuverable this aircraft is. The slightest input to the elevons makes the airframe pitch up dramatically, like a prancing horse :D

It is obvious that the pilot has put extra effort to take-off in a rather dignified manner, and not to launch straight to the moon 🤣

TUSAŞ Deputy General Manager Prof. Dr. Fahrettin Öztürk:

- Production of the second prototype of KAAN started. Parts are being produced. After the prototypes mature, mass production begins. The number of these prototypes will increase to 8.

- Now we are also preparing the infrastructure for how to produce 20 KAANs. We are building an ecosystem. We design a supply chain for all kinds of risks.

- You finish the fighterjet, but if you cannot establish a good supply chain, you cannot mass produce it. You cannot reach the desired figures and prices. We consider all of these. In the future, thousands of companies will take part in this ecosystem.

I thought they had already started part production for the second and third prototype last year?

Theoretically a higher bypass engine is quieter as it has a thicker cold air stream around the louder exhaust stream. Custom Kaan engine is supposedly one such higher bypass engine.
