My guy, please head to YouTube and listen for some sonic booms. It's good for the soul.

There was no sonic boom in that video. It's a typical jet noise

No sonic boom?

fantastic news!

For shits and giggles

Almost all defence publications in Turkey are propaganda outlets. You could never see any negative news, no whistleblowers, no critique for industrial guidance, no op-eds. What they do is to pamper the industry all day, everyday.

I guess this is the missing piece for some people. Unlike the most of the muslim world, Turkey has no primordial enmity against Israel. This image is from Sept 20th, 2023 An excerpt from Daily Sabah: "During their last interview in New York, the Turkish leader confirmed that Netanyahu may...

Scratching my head, thinking why it had not been flown supersonic yet? It's been so long.

Seeing this table, at what point do you think the war will be over? What is the end game?

so the first large turbofan we develop has to be a true 5th gen from the get-go? no viable interim engine as a stopgap?

You have misunderstood my post. I do not suggest that we should develop multiple large turbofan engines. My inquiry is the opposite of that. I'm simply asking if it's possible to convert(further develop) an engine like F110 to a 5th gen engine without requiring a clean-sheet design. As limited...

Be it funding or technical assistance, TEI gets no help from GE for its engine development efforts.

I have a question for the engine guys on the forum, if there's any; KAAN is being developed in blocks. Block 10 will be 4.5th gen, Block 20 could be 4.5 or 5th depending on the availability of the required subsystems and it'll continue to be 5th gen going forward.. Can the same approach be...

We can't put our hopes on the prevalence of the rational faculties of the US. We have to assume the worst and be prepared to the best of our abilities.

EJ-200 is not option. It's too weak for KAAN. And assuming the Chinese gave us their engines(which they wouldn't for the obvious reasons), it still wouldn't remedy our predicament. Engines are not simple plug and play devices. An aircraft is designed and built around an engine. KAAN's...

For the least, we'd say "auf wiedersehen" to the US soldiers in Incirlik and NATO membership would be put in question.

It's highly doubtful that we could get those engines(F110s) without they drag us through the mud first. In fact, the chance of them denying us those engines is not below 50% in my opinion. We will be in a very rude awakening.

It was a humanitarian ship that was purposed to bring down the blockade and show the world the weakness of the Israelis. It was our stupidity to let a civilian ship to fare those waters without any protection. We were either going to war against Israel or not let that ship sail away from our...

Why would Israel attack Turkey or vice versa? If we're being hypothetical, our response would more likely be tectonic geopolitical shifts rather than a direct hot-conflict as we don't have(yet) the means to take on IAF or defend ourselves against the ballistic projectiles that may come our way.
