    Akıncı is faster and can deploy SOM missiles that require fast speed. Glide bombs will go further too. AESA radar and AA missiles enable it to shoot other planes given the opportunity. It will get to and from the theater faster too. Its prize should be around $50mn for a wealthy customer...

    We do not know the plans for the T629. This chopper is also suitable for marine use. With the coming TS1500 engine this flyer is a good performer at sea level. Being powered by a domestic engine it will be an ace in our sleeve. T929 will be powered by Ukrainian engine initially and we have no...

    That number was not officially announced but given by third parties as a potential reserve. And some people thought that Erdoğan will bloat numbers to boast but the opposite happened and he only announced what is technically confirmed. This same site is probably at 850 bcm confirmed. Hopefully...

    Fire fire fire! this is what a crew member yells to warn others of a fire on civilian ships. I don't remember the exact process to handle fire at see as it has been a while since the last time I was on a ship. The fire must be extinguished with the right type of extinguisher as the wrong one...

    When you drop glide bombs from a faster plane they will glide further, stand off distance become longer. They should also try making it pilotless which adds little value though when you can drop stand off munition from a long distance.

    T There is AI to identify the target as the intended target but you don't need to tell the name of the person.

    If you unleash your drone onto a bunch of targets consisting solely of your intended targets then a retarded drone will do just fine, no need to distinguish between one or the other.

    An ESTOL - Extremely Short Take Off and Landing variant that lands in under 100 meters without arresting gear can be made with minimal modifications to Hürjet. One that can be considered the poor man's F35. And the tarmac is ready for it.

    It is good to make studies and see the possibilities. Modifications can be made when there is a presssing necessity to do so. I guess initially TCG Anadolu can be used for tactical class UAV operations and once a necessity comes up modifications can be made to upgrade the capabilities of the...

    Rotaxes are either 100hp, 115hp or 140hp off the top of my head. 105hp is either a modification of the 100hp or a different engine, probably the elusive PG115 down-rated. 300km terrestrial control range, Satcom and Aselsan CATS are blissful. Domestic rating should have moved up too.

    Perhaps yes and perhaps no. I have seen at least one patent granted to AW in the Türkpatent database which is about the landing gear. Please do a search to find out more. I am saying this as the landing gear looks the same. This may be a minor thing though. See if the expiration date is near or not.

    Tilting mechanisms may pose reliability problems and they do have their weight too. I do not see a clear advantage. I would suggest a hybrid design where petrol engine is used both for lift and cruise.

    Those electric motors are also the motors that enable VTOL operation. They also made them pretty small already so their burden is smaller. This design is implemented by many companies. It lacks lifting capacity but it works. If the drone is required to be recoverable there needs to be some means...

    As a back up plan Hürjet can be flown from the Anadolu but landed on a short airstrip equipped with cable system. Hürjet can then be ferried back to the Anadolu on a warship having a helicopter deck. I am not sure if this can work at all but there maybe occasions that it may be useful. Short...

    He described the helicopter as having a pusher propeller. This configuration is good for speed and agility. The technology for changing the angle of attack of the individual blades must be developed.
