    They can simply update the design for more power or even run the hp 3k engine underrated to match the designs. Many helicopters are powered by several different engines along their life-cycles. This is better than not having the helicopter on hand and being out of the game for that class. Turkey...

    Kamov type is old Russian tech, Sikorsky type is a new tech being introduced. It is still kept secret and they even didn't want to share visuals of the rotor hub. Kamov uses a swash plate with mechanical linkages between the blade roots and the transmission to feather the blades around the...

    PD170 made a big upgrade on Anka over the PD155 but what does PD222 mean for Anka with higher take off power. I guess it will not make any difference as its high altitude performance is less than the PD170.

    They should be more agile in such endeavors. It is not that there are no precedents, there are. Small turbine generators are suitable to use even in some robots and robotic war machines. SSB should also be supporting development in this are. And as the turbines are small RD budget are also small.

    Probably one of the reason why we haven't seen our lasers at work very often is that there must be a matching power source to go along with them. Small turbine generators and dense battery packs are required to make them portable.

    It would be nice if we could see Çakıl in some common civilian devices too. Perhaps used in place of Raspberry Pi or the like.

    We can only sell them when many countries demand them. Making such decisions are not easy for countries as they are also pressured by other countries. But the more we made a show the more demand we received. However there is a supply chain shift for Baykar so the new configurations need to be...

    The orange colored top engine seems new and is suitable for jetpack applications with its 63kg thrust. This engine can be used in two, three and four combinations to power human carrying flying machines.

    Regular utility patent term is 20 years but a seller and buyer can make deals extending beyond this term. 30 or more years is possible. But yes a patent gives monopoly rights for 20 years valid in the country it was granted for. If there are patents granted by Turkey to LM you can search them in...

    Is Egypt joining NATO then. No. Because the veto was about Egypt joining NATO operations not about joining NATO.

    You support them in export markets. You simply support the growth of demand. When they have some expertise in aviation and electronics they can pivot their work towards something else that is related to their expertise. New entrants in the field are not that many. There are smaller companies who...

    Their holding company is a big company that make titanium structural parts for the Gökbey helicopter. So they can survive downturns. They should have seen some opportunity there. These planes are precursors to loitering munitions too.

    That should be the case for other companies too. If someone wants to use a TEI engine it would be unacceptable if they didn't sell it. SSM should play its role in this case.

    "TEI PD-170’te %98 yerlilik oranına ulaştık. Hatta motor bloğunun alüminyumunu bile Türkiye’den, Seydişehir Eti Alüminyum A.Ş.’dan alıyoruz." TEI has reached 98% domestic input rating with TEI PD-170 engine. Good to know.

    Baykar is not all success, their choice of design for Cezeri is a miserable failure.
