TEI have not finished taking their first engine through its paces yet. Once they are done with it by completing civilian certification and probably making a military version of it they will feel more comfortable starting development of a bigger engine.

Yes it is but it also means that its regular power output may be increased too as the engine can take more pain and still stand. Its previous limit was 1665 hp, so if there is a 80 hp increase in the max power there maybe a commensurate increase in regular power. 3 x 80 = 240 hp total increase...

With the TEI-TS1400 recording 1740 hp max power a 3 engine system is even more possible now. If a 3000 hp class domestic engine is not considered for the near term a 3 engine system is the solution.

Indonesian Army delegation's visit to Baykar, Akıncı seems to be going to fly far this time.

That makes TR Motor a nobody in your view while it is wholly owned by TUSAŞ and tasked to develop the Kaan engine. Before we parted our ways with the F35 we were making the cockpit section of the F35 and its displays but that partnership had evaporated overnight. Who can tell if GE will serve...

TEI being partners with GE prevents Türkiye from investing more in TEI. Türkiye can not afford to continue to rely on foreign companies for engine supply. Baykar starting turbine engine manufacturing can bring some changes. They want to make turbofan and turboprop engines. If they go into...

GE being a partner to TEI is the problem but the restructuring engine industry may remedy the situation in the long run.

There is a power shift going on in the world and buyers can switch suppliers down the road. Türkiye needs to become a one stop shop for defence products and having no attack helicopter to sell does not help with this goal. Every bit of effort is worthwhile and Türkiye is well positioned to...

Put together 300 of the 1 watt batteries , add some super-capacitors and some lithium batteries and you can power a humanoid robot soldier who never needs a rest.

Every product creates its own market, Italians see that. Buyers can choose from makers who are better aligned with them politically. New markets open up when economies evolve, African countries are in the market for bigger weapons. We can provide a better prize point than other makers. We maybe...

Kızılelma of today is to be different from KE to come 4 years later. Every iteration will add new capabilities over the years and at some point it will probably surpass manned planes in many ways.

Haluk Bayraktar spoke to the Capital Magazine for their June 2024 issue.

Around the world amateur individuals used to make such scale model planes, useless stuff. Baykar made the TB2 by converting a full size plane into a remotely controlled one. Erdoğan needed a plane like the TB2 and it was a gift from Baykar to Erdoğan.

I don't see how TAI was a shining start as it was doing nothing before they were ordered to make planes by the current government. What fruits did TUSAŞ make so that Baykar could eat?

Under the current government both TAI and Baykar are shining stars. Under another government both companies may turn into dead stars.

It is not wasteful but necessary: TEI is 46% GE for one thing. Add to this the possibility of a government change and a new government makes up reasons to put a stop to engine supply to Baykar. We have seen similar things in the past of Türkiye, stop the Turks from inside, "aviation is...

Here is more reporting on the same subject that has additional information.

This line of news seems to be lacking in detail, here is more information.

Conflicts around the world are heating up. There are other makers who want to grab market share, Turkish military are not the only customer.

An engine with some problems is still an engine that can fly in a good capacity and preferable to foreign sourced engines.
