This is ridiculous
Their engine is already flying?
Baykar is truly pushing the standards higher and higher
At this rate, within the next 5-7 years, they may even develop turbofan engines for Kizilelma with their own means

Baykar engineers didn't develop it from scratch; they used COTS components. 50 different companies are involved with the project as component suppliers. There are also several foreign companies. If I'm not mistaken Bosch is one of them.

Still impressive, but let's hope the benefits of these investments will cast off better R&D from the companies involved.

Do we know the specs of the engine and how it compares to the competition?

No official explanation has been made regarding the motor specifications.

"Bayraktar emphasized that in the design of the newly developed domestic engine, the shortcomings of the Rotax 912 engine were taken into consideration and development was carried out accordingly, expressing that the aim was to address these deficiencies in the domestic engine."


It could be a more advanced engine than the Rotax 912.

It has better altitude performance compared to Rotax, this is the main difference.

Hopefullty TM100 can grap a significant share of the civilian market as well. If it can outcompete Rotax by being better and cheaper it could over the next decade become a huge export success for Turkiye.

Even if it doesn't end up being an export success, it seems that it's mostly made domestically, with collaboration of multiple Turkish companies, which is more important since the money for the engine will stay at home and boost the defence industry even more, regardless it's a very positive turn.

I agree, but for Turkiye to continue massive R&D investments in the field of engines, it would help if the developed engines becomes cash cows.

What's stopping it from getting such certification?


First they need it for the drones maybe when they finished the project they could go as a alternatif against the Rotax what will be a game changer because off used by TB2. Certification will take time, look to the TS1400 will be ready in 2028 when certifiation is finished.
