KAAN is also supposed to be a faster plane which requires more power.

Who is lying, is Mr Akşit lying?

RR designed an engine in 18 months. It all depends on what experience you have. Mr Akşit once said every next engine takes half the time to make. Unless you introduce an unproven and experimental feature to the engine your time to a usable product shortens with every build you make.

Poland, Romania, Brasil, Malaysia, Indonesia, Pakistan, UAE, Katar, KSA, Azerbaijan would like to have the Anka-3. Some European countries and Japan may want to have it but they will hesitate.

Let's see if Mr Mahmut Akşit shows up at the innovation days tomorrow, or is this picture from the media day already.

The engine in question may not even be one of TEI's

5 years is in a slow pace which is the norm. You can put it on the fast track and count months. TEI have already left some years behind in this engine development.

There maybe use cases where efficiency comes last like when boostering a plane in take off but still there are other solutions to the problem like catapulting or tuging with cable which are more convenient.

Isreal struck their own people first in response to Hamas move before they struck Muslims. There are some real people in the world that will not take events as they are portrayed by mainstream media. There is still a good chance the EF deal to come through. If not we are better off building on...

Small turbine engines are good for fast planes or missiles, for cargo or weapons load carrying propellers are more efficient. A small, rather high bypass turbofan engine could be used to strike a good balance between speed and efficiency but there is next to no such turbofan in production...

What we know for sure is TB3 has flown in 130 kmh winds taking off from land. Off course landing back on the ship will be challenging, still some machine learning and AI will probably assist in such a feat. I have seen videos of smll drones flying in stormy weather, but it will take a lot of...

PD300 is a little on the weak side for Akıncı and on the strong side for Aksungur. There seems to be no existing platform that this new engine is made to perfectly match. It is more of a project to take the PD170 to the extremes I guess. There is not really any information about it. However a...

The TB3 is expected to join the Navy ranks in a month but is it like the TB3 will be deployed earlier then expected, I don't think so. It still needs to learn to land on Anadolu nicely before it can be fully operational on the ship. But the earlier the delivery the earlier the Navy will...

If defence development projects could greately benefit from budget re-allocations it could be better to spend the money elsewhere. If the engine development projects could be helped by spending more money then the returns could be wastly more attractive. I think there is a pace of development...

We have no clue how much power the TB3 needs to take off from the Anadolu but if it lacks power some cable tug assist will work wonders. A more powerful engine if the TB3 ever needs one will rid the assist cables but is not absolutely necessary.

Such a platform is also suitable to make space launch of rockets but only after it is retired.

KAAN first flight countdown timer

That is a possibility but why have Kaan stand on one foot like a punishment.

Must be the second prototype with no undercarriage. Front part suspended on the infamous 6x6 cm profie stand.
