There are 18 Covid-19 vaccine candidates and 2 drug candidates being worked on in Turkey. https://www.haber7.com/guncel/haber/3097371-yerli-asida-cok-kritik-mutasyon-detayi-bakan-varank-acikladi

All of the news I heard for ready date are for September or October of 2021 or even earlier. Vaccines can be approved for immediate use even. I think we will put vaccines in use as early as it gets. However availability in large quantities may indicate later dates.

Our national pharmaceutical industry should be the main source for our national use. Other options should be no more than a temporary remedy. Turns out that more than two shots will be required for a lasting effect. Even a prescription of a two shots a year until the pandemic ends will be...

That means going cheap on RnD. There is also the export market where lesser planes can bring a return. Countries who can not afford a full grown plane can afford a trainer turned fighter. I would adopt that one engine two planes approach a few years ago when the Hürjet was not in its advanced...

German exhaust manifold has a rectangular cross section while Korean and Turkish ones have circular. Would you be making it ellipsoid for the sake of making a difference, I wouldn't.

When I take a close look I see that the parts resembling the Korean engine are also resembling the German engine with the only difference with the tubular side railing. The cylinders on the left end are also one more with the BMC engine than others.

Osman Dur is not lying.

UTKU has orthogonal T connection to the transmission but BATU is laid in parallel.

The full stack BATU

This is good and all but TAIS is supposed to work on engines 100x as powerful. When they talk they will talk big, but where are they? "The project will start with medium speed large (6,000-10,000 Kw) diesel main engines will continue with smaller (1,000-2,000 Kw) diesel auxiliary and main engines."

A single engine fighter goes without saying once you have the engine.

It is a common knowledge that smaller turbines like the TS1400 has lower efficiency than larger turbines and diesels. Large turbines have around 36% while large diesels have around 50%. The author simply considers the case when we have no other option.

Turbines are relatively inefficient for power generation for ships. They should only be used for when the available space is small. Otherwise Diesel engines are the best which means the closest capability we have to the ideal is the BATU engine of BMC Power. If other companies like TAIS and some...

TAIS is supposed to be working on marine diesels but they are not talking.

We can possibly make a domestic engine for Hürjet too once we have advanced the work for the TFX engine. It will be relatively easy to do so. Until we make such an engine small production numbers with stocked engines will be acceptable. It will even be a good test of capabilities before we start...

I hope one day we can launch telescopes for space observations too. Which are pretty much larger versions of earth observing cameras. Probably as part of our space weather observation program.

The good thing is Turkish officials are already doing well in informing people about defense matters outside tradeshows. I would only go to the show to see Canik's possible new models first hand.

Please move this post to casual discussion section after reading. I had a little experience with a gyro system when I was working on a cargo ship many years back. Our gyro gets broken / spins frantically on our way to somewhere in western Europe. Company instruct the captain to write a letter...

If a structural improvement is made that sheds 100kg of weight you automatically will have that much gain in the payload budget. Weight reduction and drag reduction or lift to drag ratio improvement of wings will directly benefit payload capacity. So, 250kg to 350kg is very possible. if it was...

The boxyness of intakes and the general look is affected by the perspective presentation of the model on the TAI website. When you look from the top you can see the actual look.
