I should correct a mistake of this post. We're not actually required to buy the 70% of the total electricity output of the powerplant. We're obliged to buy the 70% of the supply of the first and second reactor of the powerplant. For the third and fourth reactors we have to buy at least 30% of...

knowing and feeling are two very different things.

I don't know. If it's a deal with technology transfer similar to S400 purchase then I don't think it's wise for us. It's not cheap. We have to pay at least $3.1 billions a year to Russia for the electricity of the powerplant. That is $46.5 billions in total for the fifteen years.

The feasibility of the power plant is not really our concern since Russia is footing the bill. But I'm more interesting with this quote "value of acquiring the nuclear power technology". What do you mean by it, what did we get? "the value of clean secure energy" Clean energy aspect of the...

It's not Turkiye's power plant. It Russia's. It's built under the term "Yap, İşlet, Sahip Ol." Which means it's Russia's till it's decommissioning. We have guaranteed to buy at least %70 of their production at $0.1235 per kWh which is much more expensive than our average buying rate. Russia is...

I was always wary of 6th gen aircraft claims, be it the French, English, Japanese and whatnot. There is no definition of it that is agreeed upon by the manufacturers. Let's see what will the Americans come up with and how they'll define it. Having said that, I think we need a larger ANKA III to...

A larger, tailless ANKA-IV?

Is there a thumb rule for the days or hours for visiting? Would you say, for example, saturday is better than sunday(for whatever reason), or morning is better than noon etc.? Can someone give some guidelines? Note: If i could schedule, i could visit the event with my 4 yo niece. Is there WCs...

The Drive has posted an article about HÜRJET. https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/turkeys-first-homegrown-manned-tactical-jet-has-flown

Take-off speed will be slower for KIZILELMA because of the weight difference, true. Lower mass means lower lift-force required to become airborne, hence lower speed. But If you looked at the still images of KIZILELMA and Hürjet, you'd expect the drone to be at least as fast as the trainer. It...

The videos of Hurjet's first flight shows how much underpowered KIZILELMA's airframe is. The differences of take-off speed, angle of attack, first flight altitude, landing speed etc. are prominent.

Why is TF10000 on the list? When was claimed that it would be fired in 2023? Edit: I asked this to a TEI engineer at TEKNOFEST and no TF10000 happening this year.

That's not a good way to run your business. What about the engineers with years of experience? How can you effectively utilize the engineering pool if you don't even have job openings for their profession?

Why? Baykar has only 3k employees and they have more than 170 job postings on their website.

He says there are 15k employees of TAI. A healthy, growing company should have as many open positions as at least 10% of company's employee count. By this logic, TAI should have 1.500 job postings on its website or Linkedin. How many does TAI have? A mere 22. twenty-two! Do they have no hope of...

They should release the raw sound of the flight.

Yes. The tower is much more valuable than a single prototype. At this point, SpaceX is mass producing both the raptor engines and the stages. They will launch another prototype in a few months. I expect them to reach orbit this year even if the second launch wasn't a success.
