Botaş already signed an agreement with TEI for devopment of new turbine generators https://www.botas.gov.tr/Icerik/botas-ve-tei-is-birligi-buyuye/813

I've read that it was upgraded to or was planned to be upgraded from initial 160 to 400

I mean more range is something we definitely desire. To me the biggest detail is electricity generation. I think F35 has 400kVA output, vs 60kVa of F16 C/D and even F22 is likely something around 100kVA.

Imagine if UK partnered with Turkey to develop and manufacture replacements for the parts Germany don’t wanna sell and keep prices low, in process also allowing Turkey to buy new ones, not ever gonna happen though

TF6000 first firing will be proof that we can make make a proper turbofan engine. All eyes are on that at the moment. If that project goes well that is proof enough that we can manage an engine for Kaan. Worst case scenario after that would be an engine that performs somewhat under expectations...

Read the other entries they are basically removing maths altogether

So basically room for future installation

I'm sure once TF35000 is done we will try to make all kind of derivative engines to recoup some of costs

Ada class has an endurance of 3 weeks and can operate in sea state 5. MRTP 33 can withstand sea state 4 and has endurance of 3 days.

They will end up being big and expensive if they are to withstand harsh sea conditions and have meaningful endurance

It is so weird that Çakır has been tested with KTJ1750 but we haven't seen SOM or ATMACA with 3200 despite the fact that serial production began. Maybe in their design update for 3700 and 1750 they figured new things which didn't make their way to 3200 so they are having trouble now? And if 3700...

I thought we found gas for real this time 🤣 Need to invest in wind and solar, and without foreign financing, as fast as we can.

I haven't been able to find anything specific on any source about navalization of turbine engines. There are a few studies on anti corrosion coatings for compressors but those don't seem to be separate for different variants of an engine. There are some documents about testing and maintenance...

We will only get 14 engines for 925/929 if that. And those are already for Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry which ordered 8 925 for firefighting. And even if there were extras those would go to Anadolu. In the end, worse case scenario will happen, we will have only 38 blackhawks and license...

Exported missile engines are range limited due to MTCR. They prevent you from going over 300km even if you have fuel left. Fuel efficiency is not the only issue.

Mirroring russian m.o with the symbology is not going to win anyone any favours

We have to hurry up MURAD and supplement the Air force with Siper, Drones and other land based systems until KAAN. That's the only realistic path for us. Drones can do most A2G missions, Anka 3 when it's ready can do ground missions even KAAN won't be doing. SAM systems are very effective...

Pretty sure you need to be the victim and not the aggressor but even if you could, they probably wouldn't feel compelled to help the aggressor

State of the art ram coating

That's what I see from current visuals. But he is saying these are subject to change for next prototype. What I hope is TFX carries a good amount more fuel than originally envisioned.
