Knowing our military’s stance about giving specifics and how economical they are with truth and secretive about all military matters , I would say no! However that is a defiant and challenging statement to all relevant parties.

Multiple Systems working as a single system makes the invisible, visible. Words uttered At around 1minute 10 sec and onwards; This statement is the heart of this EIRS radar news piece. A conglomeration of AESA radars working as one and making the invisible, visible. I would like to know if that...

No @Barry ! Yes it is a thread about the helicopter accident. But discussion still within context. So let us be careful about staying on topic and make sure the discussion is not veered away from the thread title content.

You need to read up on aerodynamic mechanics regarding thrust vectoring before you can make claims about TVC’s pros and cons. For a fighter jet airspeed is life. If as a pilot you have lost great deal of your airspeed you are most vulnerable. Apart from the danger of stalling , to be able to...

@Fuzuli NL bro, You know very well why your post was deleted. You have been at this game long enough to know very well to stay on topic. If someone starts derailing TFX-Kaan thread by making it a discussion platform of foreign anti Turkish sentiment, and you dovetail on it then those posts are...

They spent enough funds on that stealth f22 nozzle set up and materials science, to build a new plane from scratch. It is still at the end of the day a compromise. In real life, thrust vectoring allows for a lower deflection of the aerodynamic control surfaces so reducing drag and increasing...

All this talk about getting a certain number of Hürjet in Light Attack format and some operating from an Aircraft Carrier is somewhat long winded wishful thinking to my ears. It sounds nice but will it ever materialise? Hurjet project primarily is a trainer aircraft project. If we want to turn...

One important aerodynamic reality that needs to be remembered is: Larger wings move more air, so a bird or plane with a large wing area relative to its mass (low wing loading) will have more lift at any given speed. Therefore, a plane with lower wing loading will be able to take off and land at...

Your guess is as good as mine. But reading between the lines it has something to do with a high end jet fighter engine tech using AI. @Nilgiri has given his views on it. I concur with what he says. There are many articles and YouTube news channels that claim that TF35K is in production. One of...

Sungur and Levent missiles are the two very important components of our short range point defence missile systems. Sungur, as well as being man portable, also is pedestal mounted on armoured vehicles for short range point defence. It has a Dual thrust (booster+sustainer) solid rocket engine that...

This is TFX Kaan thread. Stay on topic please. Posts containing off topic comments and discussion points that are overtures to derailing the thread are deleted. Insistence will attract bans.

I suggest you read below page re @Cabatli_TR posts on the matter. https://defencehub.live/threads/propulsion-systems.3/page-140#post-302389 The engine for the TFX has been on the drawing board for many years. Even before 2018. (TR Motor was formed in April 2017) There is a consortium that is...

In Turkish we have saying: Çok konuşan çok yanılır. Best explanation of it would be: The half is better than the whole or A moderate approach often yields the best results Having read Dr Temel Kotil’s latest interview about KAAN, it somehow brought this saying in to my mind. Although it is nice...

In view of Dr Aksit’s statements, we need to know that TF6K/TF10K engines were going to be used as stepping stones to the bigger engine. It was supposed to physically prove to TEI what was being designed in the computer is now a fact in real life. Logic says that the construction design of TF6K...

Why should GE claim: quote: Reduced life-cycle cost GE Aerospace’s F414 features the latest technologies to enhance engine performance, improve engine durability, and reduce life-cycle cost (LCC) for current and future operators of next-generation combat aircraft. unquote If the f414 has...

During Soviet and subsequent Russian era, the jet engine technology development regarding turbine section, has been concentrated on directionally solidified turbine blade production. They have in house perfected the directionally solidified crystals to their own needs by attaining equiaxed...

May I remind all our members that it is our number one duty not to make any unsubstantiated claims. This has nothing to do with just the forum rules. But more to do with where we stand apart from other forums; whereby what is discussed here is correct, relevant and substantiated. Especially on...

Individual part production expertise, is not a sign of capability of a complete turbofan engine manufacturing. An accomplished engine manufacturer like SNECMA took years before M88-1 engine can be flown. In 1983 the engine project was started. In 1986 the plane was ready to house an engine; but...

Not quite! On the surface it may look like government created jobs. But those jobs did not produce something that added to national income. You produced that truck with funds taken from taxpayers’ money and handed it out to few jobless. In return you got nothing. It did not generate any revenues...

I am afraid you are missing a very important point. Let me explain again. - If you buy a truck from abroad for military, that truck stays inert in a warehouse waiting to be used in case of war. But you have used foreign currency reserves to buy it. - If you produce in house a truck for your...
