I don't think it's that big of a loss, anyone who licences Integrity-178B would be able to access its source code. I mean even we've had a gander (ASELSAN's T-70 mission computer). Pretty satisfying schadenfreude if it's true though! Edit: Now that I think of it, we probably even saw a bit of...

At Teknofest, I learned that there are very few kinks left to iron out before LRIP of TS1400 begins. SSB is pushing for max. 1600shp sustained, engineers seemed quite chill about it. Civilian certification will follow. Make of that what you will.

I've never seen a car company that does that (maybe Volvo). It wouldn't inspire a lot of confidence anyway ("bozacının şahidi şıracı"-type of situation). Karakas said they're aiming for, and are confident that they'll get 5 stars. Probably, but they have to get the ADAS right these days. On...

I think NCAP is at least year long process. It requires a nomination by NCAP itself, and was recently updated to include child presence detection for 5 stars, so that interior camera makes more sense now.

I agree, vision is limited by weather conditions, so I think Musk's stubbornness will eventually backfire. XPeng seem to be more grounded in reality, going all-in on LIDAR. There are differing opinions on vertical vs horizontal infotainment displays. The dedicated lower control screen is a good...

Ahahah, I'm not very photogenic, but I do watch a lot of car reviews for fun. OTA updates are already enabled, and the cars are connected to Turkcell's cellular network. I don't have much faith in the Togg only app store, but it's probably where apps that have deeper integration with the car...

I went to the dealership in Ankara, sat in both the black and white interiors (+/- moonroof—yes—it doesn't open, like most EVs). Interior and Exterior The interior quality is very similar to VW products. The main exception were the few buttons and switches that were present. They felt more...

I think I was lucky enough to catch TCG Istanbul near Tuzla on my flight's final approach to SAW a week and a half or so ago!

Honestly the west's mind was always set. EU was never going to happen and it was delusional to think otherwise. The mantra of "too Big, too Poor and too Muslim" holds true, and all three facts are intrinsic and permanent from a western perspective. Even in the best of light the west's outlook...

I suppose this is at ~4m resolution, since it's in color. I wonder if the panchromatic B&W resolution really is *just* .99m or that we just say it is. I hope it's the latter but any submeter resolution is a great achievement nonetheless.

I never said anything about GF being any good, just that their Chairman is an Emirati. I don't agree at all. If push comes to shove and the world really does break in two, those international and legal frameworks won't mean a thing. SMIC and Moore Threads may be behind the curve, but they are...

You have a digital twin of the plane in CAD, so the geometry and every material is defined and has known properties. From this you have a good idea of the overall properties of the aircraft in a static setting. Incredible software packages like the Ansys suite (which TAI licenses) can simulate...

LM is stepping up NGAD hype. First the F-35 cockpit tour, now this.

I will agree with your point wrt loss of sovereignty and control of strategic industries in developing nations. However, I have to strongly disagree with your statement on whether the US or the UK can really enforce favorable terms when their IPs are swept away by two countries that have no...

Yeah, as if anyone else is above selling out to the Emirates or China. GlobalFoundries, an American company, is the world's fourth largest semiconductor fab and is owned by the Emirati Sovereign Wealth fund. Imagination Technologies (IP holder of basically all mobile GPUs and now even in high...

In my opinion, they let the Lira crash on purpose with the lower than expected interest rate hike to stimulate tourism and give the banks some breathing space during the transition. The raising of the minimum wage and the relaxing of FX interventions is also indicative of this. I'd expect a much...

What is this logo next to TAI's at their Paris Airshow booth? Source: HaberTurk Airport Episode

Sorry if I'm a little gun illiterate, but are those G3s? Edit: maybe HK G41s?

In a way, yes, there was a tiny chance it could work, if there weren't so many domestic and international catastrophes. However, Japan has a storied industrial and service sector and far more goodwill from investors, things that Turkey sorely lacks. Even then, the BoJ is struggling to raise...

This is bittersweet news. At least they've been forced to return to orthodoxy. Painful short- and medium-term stagflation ahead, but—as long as they stick to a rational fiscal and monetary policy—at least the long-term health of the economy will be spared. Erdonomics was a gamble, a failed...
