They probably wanted to buy at the price level of their previous order and didn't take dollar inflation into account. Karayel is different and it will be a logistical nightmare for Niger down the road.

TEI's engine doesn't need to be cutting edge, it is OK if it is even comparable to GE's existing engine which I guess there isn't one in that power class. Who even needs to compare ones own work to somebody else's foreign work.

We know that TEI are working on a 3000hp turboshaft engine but what we don't know is if they will be working on a turboprop from that engine too.

This is fantastic news. This will likely be still a twin engine plane yet a single engine plane made from this engine will still be a capable one.

In training mode you decrease the wear and tear on the plane by limiting its high performance features. You also need to train pilots quickly at times of pilot shortage, like we see in Ukraine.

Of course not but serial improvement of everything about it is.

You can use a non coated version of Kaan, can't you.

You can afford that much, it is scientific development after all and can pay off greatly. It is the best investment you can invest your money in and remember how we have already progressed in that field within a short few years. You can of course add more life to a plane by simply doing parts...

19 days is a long time, I wonder if they have to get in a queue before they cross the Suez Canal.

What is holding you from adding hours to a plane's life, it is your plane that you have made.

You can invest more on the one platform you have and take every pilot and every engineer in to top shape and the plane itself with continuous development rather than losing time with special training planes and you are better off. I know it hasn't been like this so far, I can tell you that as I...

That saves you from developing or buying separate planes for training. Combined with the fact that simulators can play a big role in training and the fact that national planes comes cheaper than imported ones when they are made in big numbers. And planes having smarts to not put the plane in...

I am talking about a highly automated plane training the trainee, like when Kaan can fly itself it can fly the trainee alone, eliminating the need for a separate jet trainer.

You can achieve all of these with a training mode on a modern aircraft. No teacher pilot on board with only the trainee flying means an unmanned trainer. You can ask a newer plane to act as a lesser airplane for training purposes. In today's world where we are just transitioning into a plane...

It is you who missing the point, there is a big market that KAI have not been able to capture which may be addressed by TAI.

You spread all you want but KAI can have a hard time. You are not the elephant, are you.

Obviously not all users want to by Korean. That elephant in the room need to chill and chose a corner of the room to sit rather than spreading all over the place.

The TF6000 and the TF10000 engines can be hastened, so do the planes that are supposed to us them. Engines can fly 2025-2026 probably. If these planes prove to be productive in a short timeframe then numbers of production can soar and we never look back.

They are reporting 4nm now.

That's because ASML will not supply spare parts and maintenance to China anymore. Türkiye did not have a chip-making ecosystems other than for low production runs. Once we start building that echo system we will know if the west will cooperate or not, but we need to prepare for the worst.
