Is this the most recent? Aselsan Göksur is nice an glad to see they didn't give up 64 VLS.

And MEKO modernization

Gökdeniz for 6 Hisar, 3 İstif?

A mistake that should not happen for any cost

F15 EX: Weight:Empty weight: Approximately 43,000 pounds (19,504 kilograms). Maximum takeoff weight: 81,000 pounds (36,700 kilograms). Could be a useful estimate for current KAAN

This airframe was not even meant to fly at first. That it managed to do first flight is amazing, but I doubt pushing it into those circumstances is gonna be too wise. I'd imagine they would take the data here and do necessary modifications for flight of the second prototype that was the first...

Didn't they do just that? I mean without final design how much more useful data can they obtain?

I personally don't think this prototype will fly again, I think we will have to wait another year at least for next prototype.

That ship feels like it has sailed. They already bought number of ships and jets from France and rest of EU. If we had kept better relations after coup and offered them Milgem, the equation would be different.

A company does not just work by cumulation of engineers CVs sadly. Actual project experience is everything for a team to become truly productive. You can take this statement for every engineering project. For TF6000 i specifically said tech demonstrator and not ptototype.

Because TEI is the only company with know how, infrastructure and experience to build something like that in the country and they are basically the biggest contributor? And because TF6000 is basically the tech demonstrator for kaan engine built by TEI?

TS 1400 took 6 years for first flight. I can't imagine KAAN engine being any less even with best case scenario.

J is Joint of F35 Joint Strike Fighter program, you can see stuff like JDAM, JSOW, JSM. SOM was made with Lockeed and meant to be used with F35, it turned out dimensions of plane and munition didn't match after design went on and they made a J version. It was never integrated so now we said we...

Yes, the J stood for JSF, now it should be SOM MMU, basically.

I am also guilty of this but I think we derailed this topic too much with 6th gen talk. Let's make KAAN as is first 😄

I think the idea of 6 gen fits in my head better right now. Essentially its very strong engines for high electricity generation that enables use of lasers as CIWS sort of against enemy missiles that changes the game. 5th gen focused on reducing observability across the EM spectrum to increase...

Well that sounds nice but is a tremendous undertaking of its own

The tweet was deleted about Murad so I guess not.

Dassault makes the digital twin software that I know. There are many different pieces of software to develop such a system but on board software is most likely local all around.

Yes I knew about that part bur So I didn't get stuck on that. I'm talking about geometry which Nilgiri explained. Basically, the spine is a big bigger than similar aircraft?
