It can go higher than this estimate in the long term. The total production number can go to as high as 500 pieces with exports provided that engine supply is secured long term. This kind of airplane is also suitable for unmanned operation as the price is lower than a full size fighter which can...

I just checked and did not see the part where it says consecutive .

This is a political decision meaning it is intended to move into production once it completes its technical development phases. This is because TAI started this project without a request from its customer, the Turkish government. The reason why they started the project without a request from the...

It flew 60 hours in 72 hours (3 days). Some of its hours must have been spent on the ground as it took 72 hours to fly 60 hours (it does not say it flew continuously). TAI would proudly say 60 hours in their website if it actually flew that long. I would believe TAI website rather than some lame...

I wonder where the 60 hour endurance number comes from as the TAI website says it is 50 hours. https://www.tusas.com/urunler/iha/yuksek-faydali-yuk-kapasitesi/aksungur

It is BMC's risk, as any company can take risks proportionate with the size of their investment plan.

You are just being rude, shame on you.

You have already killed Altay? But wait, it will come to get you, hahhhhahaha.

On the contrary the project is getting rid of its weaknesses becoming leaner and meaner. Edit: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/lean%20and%20mean

It will be fantastic if the production Hürjet LCA turns out to perform like 80% as good as the latest F16 averaged across all metrics.

Benchmarking with the latest common F16 how will our Hürjet LCA perform, like 70% ?

There is no guaranties that the plane will come out perfectly from production but hopes are high as there is the other plane, the TFX being worked on and the experiences learned working on several projects in the same time period can pay off as quick maturation of projects.

Hürjet is already up to Malaysian requirements, it is only a matter of time to meet their deadlines. There is also the engine issue which the US is the party for. If the US want out they want out of many other things bearing consequences.

The pictures are of the cockpit-front; the engine nacelle, the empennage, the wings, skin sections and the undercarriage are the missing large parts of the plane that must be being built separately to be integrated afterwards.

I already did, the link is down below.

There will be a weight penalty to be paid when bonding the two halves.

Seems to be but no specifications have been given other than that it is a hydro-forming type press. The power is unknown and obviously it is not large enough to press a fuselage bulkhead in whole but possibly in two parts.

Probably they will fit both 20mm and 30mm cannons for variety. I can not see the starboard side wing which may be different from what we think.

It is not only exports that drives the economy, domestic consumption does too. Now that the money stays in the country given that the domestic input into the defense sector is at around 80% paying for equipment made by the national industry will help the economy move. It would be even more...

When the economy needed help governments used to bolster the construction sector as it is the largest and most involved sector that moves the whole economy. Looking at how the defense sector has now hit around 80% domestic rating investing in a carrier group maybe a boon for the economy just...
