    Baykar will go after products that will sell in high numbers but TAI can make a long range bomber and supersonic passenger planes. Imagine they make three engine and four engine planes using the TFX engine. Planes that fly at twice the speed of sound carrying up to 30 people to the far side of...

    Such a plane would be good to have for Turkey but there is no export potential. After MIUS I guess the next step is a better MIUS. Even MIUS has little export potential. Although after MIUS Baykar announced that flying cars will follow.

    This seems to be used to complement the lack of ram air to drive the turbine fans. More like the first gear of the manual transmission car to get the car to move beating inertia. From all we knew from past disclosures about SOM ram air is essential for engine start. Perhaps a disclosure about...

    The igniter is likely to be in the role of a spark plug used to start the combustion and does not have anything to do with providing air for the combustion, so ram air is still required. By the way Akıncı's top speed is mach 0.296 and SOM has capabilities to start at various altitude and mach...

    I don't think Akıncı launching SOM is a myth.

    Because the turbine engine is started by the ram air coming through its inlet the plane has to be fast enough to provide enough pressure. Akıncı tops at 362 km/h.

    TR Turkiye's F-35 Project and Discussions

    The reality unfolded before our very eyes, there is no room for speculation. Israel asked F35 not be given to Turkey and so happened. When you explicitly activate a kill switch that is the and of your weapons sales, you can not sell your products anymore.

    TR Turkiye's F-35 Project and Discussions

    This ultimately happened because of Israels pressure that F35 shouldn't be made available to Turkey. This worked for us as we knew that F35 would only give us trouble and nothing else. We only made it easy for them to make a decision buying the S400.

    TR Turkiye's F-35 Project and Discussions

    The situation with the F35 has a lot more to do with us being a player at several conflict zones and making rapid progress in defense industry than buying the S400. This would happen regardless of the S400 purchase.

    Keep in mind that in the case of the US such an approval mechanism worked against American interests many times. We can not bond our hands with a strict mechanism. But we will do due diligence for every sales case.

    Defence Q&A S-400 or F-35 for Turkey ? |Debate and Discussion

    The navy that wanted the F35 is no more. F35 is an American plane and will not work against America's wishes. We want a plane that will fulfill every wish of ours.

    We don't need F35B. we will operate our UCAVs from our runway ships instead.

    Higher altitude and higher speed is probably more valuable.

    I haven't watched through the whole video but at some point he says the vehicle is completely indigenous with all elements made locally (including engine and transmission).

    Raise your hands and surrender and you will build very good relations with western suppliers. But then you don't need an army at all, go ahead and disband it which is what a different government will effectively do.
