Can you see the likeness between the two engines in these two pictures? We were expecting TF6000 to be fired. TEI is advertising TF10000. Now that would be a very nice New Year present to the nation if it were true.

Sorry bro ! But I can’t really agree with what you have written.. First of all, your India example is a cheap way to prove a point. There are many countries that do not abide by rules when it comes to your point of view. We are witnessing that everyday today in Gaza! This site is a peace...

Re : Typhoon sales to Turkey and Saudi Arabia, (dated 30th Nov) Excerpt taken from The Financial Times: Quote: Berlin’s change of tack could prove diplomatically awkward: Turkey, a Nato ally, has also asked to buy 40 Typhoons, and Germany has refused. Making the case that Riyadh is a more...

The animated video gives a very good approximation of how the logistics of a 300km range ATACMS missile work. There are few important points that are intentionally omitted. ATACMS is essentially a short range quasi ballistic tactical missile. What makes it deadly is it’s capability to manoeuvre...

The only helicopter engine they have that can power Atak 2 is the engine that powers Merlin helicopter; The RR - Turbomeca engine. It is now being produced by Safran Helicopter Engines who bought the engine rights from RR. It’s Aneto version develops upto 3000HP. But it is produced by a “French”...

https://m.airporthaber.com/havacilik-haberleri/thyden-sonra-bir-aciklama-da-rollsroycetan-geldi.html Turkish Airlines have placed a large engine order with Rolls Royce. In addition to a recent order of 66 Trent series engines which included 40 XWB84 engines, THY has placed 100 new Trent XWB84...

Fast Attack Crafts are an interesting area of Naval Military Force. Why do we need FACs? Fast attack crafts are used for surveillance, intelligence gathering, patrol, interdiction, and most importantly, engagement with hostile forces. A fast Attack Boat, being a smaller than any other naval...

Don’t forget to add the price of the pilot in the case of F16. That is if you can put a price on our pilots. However I fully agree with you in terms of using easily expendable weapons. Good examples are: -MAM-L -Artillery rockets like TR230 and 122 turned in to precision strike missiles in the...

That is one of the prerequisite jobs of KAAN in the years to come. It has to be the distributor of jobs and a conductor/director of various swarms/UCAVs to inflict maximum damage to targets. Turkish war doctrine for the future is based on UCAVs and drones being managed and directed by a plane...

Well spotted! corrected. Thanks.

TOYGUN has been designed by Aselsan as an Electro-Optical-Targeting-System for the MMU. It can detect passively any threats against the plane and has been specifically designed for a 5th generation aircraft. KARAT is an Infra-Red-Search&Track system again designed for MMU. Similar to the one in...

You are correct. The engine was produced as RR-Turbomeca. But Rolls Royce produces this engine as RR only in Derby. Also RR has licensed production of this engine in Japan with Mitsubishi and licensed parts production in India. So getting this engine from RR direct should not present a problem...

Good question. It is still not too late to do so. Probably dealing with a war torn Ukraine was easier than a RR that holds stronger cards in hand.

“Being able to get engines” dilemma, can be resolved if they approached RR for the Adour engine. It can be the replacement engine until TF6000 is ready. Even Honeywell f124/125 can be considered. The Honeywell engines are both RR engines, even though produced in US. Yet Adour engines are made in...

If the engine has convergent/divergent nozzle structure and the plane is high enough with the right load, it can do supersonic speeds. Even with a convergent nozzle it can achieve supersonic speeds albeit for a short duration. Ukrainian engine it has at the moment is already short of power. So...

TF6000 being built by TEI as a 5th generation engine is suitable and most likely meant for Anka3. There seems to be plenty of space for Aesa radar T/R modules placement if it is so willed. Until TF6000 is ready an engine like the one on KE, most likely Ukranian (I had rather see an RR Adour...

Ingenious system of catching used booster rocket. If it works why question it! Methane burns blue. Higher the energy of a flame, the bluer it is. But as the flame leaves and cools/loses energy, it would gradually turn towards red spectrum. below picture of raptor rocket testing shows the flame...

Interesting video where the Tusas chief engineer informs us that when Hurjet first flew they were also gladly surprised that the plane did not red flag any faults. Even the accompanying F16 pilot commented and questioned if this was truly the first flight of this plane. This is expediting the...

The missiles like TRG-300 are quasi ballistic missiles. Their main job is to carry a heavy destructive explosive to the target area. When they are launched, with their rocket motors, they reach very high supersonic speeds. By this time they will have reached a rarified level of atmosphere where...
