    Dude, you don't need a turboprop version to be made, while a turboprop is the ideal case a turboshaft is good enough to run a propeller. PD225 tests are 70% finished, give it 6 months to be completed. You will need to clear the entire portside to pull off a landing. But the benefits will be...

    We don't know how many strings are attached to foreign options. I would use PD225 for low power Akıncı and use a de-rated TS1400 for the high power monster. This can happen in 6 months. With TS1400 it maybe possible to operate Akıncı from LHD Anadolu without tugging. Using some AI this can be...

    Akıncı also flies with the Canadian PT6 engine and the PD225 which is nearly ready for duty. TF6000 can be used for MIUS if it is a thing in a few years. TEI have already made preliminary work for a 3000-4000 hp class turboshaft engine and if they get a work order from SSB they can make the...

    Russia sold gas to Türkiye through a barter trade agreement. Other countries came in to the picture only later when we already had long term agreements with Russia.

    Aero derivative marine turbine from TF6000 and tank derivative piston marine engines from BATU , but what are they good for? Fast attack boats and USVs, what class can they power?

    I would call Altay a fiasco if there was no BATU engine in the making. Actually it is 10 -14 years that is mentioned by Mr Akşit. And they have already made their preliminary studies. TF6000 might be the best kept secret by our industry but there were engines being developed from TS1400...

    It started with the Syrian civil war which sent refugees through our borders. We had to intervene the refugee flow by providing a safe zone inside Syria borders which in return triggered western reaction.

    There can only be delays in the procuring of engines. We are looking for foreign engines just to speed up the projects, we have plans to make the engines ourselves for the longer term. That longer term can be shrunk to a shorter term if the probablity of a foreign engine turns out to be small...

    They should find better ways of showing their joy, it is a little under their pay grade to cheer the way they do, a scene we typically see among soccer fans.

    TEI Manager Mr Aksit once said that the second engine takes half the time to develop as the first one. I hope it holds true for Roketsan too and they turn new capabilities into products without major delay.

    TEI has superior production facilities. If the Black Sea Shield Company acquired the design information TEI can produce the engines in no time.
