Such a bully!

Winds are pretty strong nowadays, time to take off.

Depending on what kind of operations the customer will conduct they can even operate the plane uncertified for a period of time based on TAI's word of reliability. If the country will only operate it in its own airspace they can do it with no certification at all. This is possible in every...

We haven't heard about EASA radars for Aksungur but it can be a simple upgrade when there is such a thing. It can possibly use networked ground radars or radars of other platforms for some radar functionality.

You would simply re-certify the plane with the new engine if the engine has its own certification.

Gökbey gearbox is designed and made by TAI.

TFX will roll out under its own engine power in 18 March 2023, only 23 months to go, exciting progress. Seems like only 2 years behind KFX now or even less.

With 60.000 mtow and 60.000 engine thrust TFX will have thrust to weight ratio of 1. TAI website reads 2x27.000lbf but Mr. Kotil said 30.000 lbf for engine thrust.

I have faith that quantum radars will make the invisible visible and we will have them in due time.

We are going to have a good selection of UAV capabilities for payload and speed. Therefore there is not much need to push the limits of the capabilities of certain platforms. Aksungur with its wide wingspan is made for endurance and pushing it to go faster will bring little returns as its...

The next available (soon to be) engine to the existing PD170 is the PD222. Going beyond it will require a different airframe, which is Akıncı.

Where could you have deployed them yet we didn't? And why? We deploy as much protection as we can provide for our soldiers whenever it is suitable. Being a soldier involves taking risks, their families know that.

45 km is a decent range which is pretty much stand a off range. If Aksungur can pull this off faster planes like Akıncı and Hürkuş and even cargo plane turned bomber planes can do even better. Fighter planes shouldn't even be required for many operations in this case.

What air defense could Turkey provide to any of our soldiers yet we didn't?

I can not verify the level of security protecting our president but I know that every bit of additional security is well worth having. It would be too easy if someone could mar Turkey by just harming our president. We should be super happy that our president can make public appearances so often...

Bayraktar is the front runner in its area and its work is more exciting. And they share their work accordingly creating excitement among people. It feels good talking about ambitious stuff so they love talking about it. Also Baykar is a smaller company and they only have one focus at a time.

Wait until someone comes up with news. İsmail Demir said something but no visuals.

I mean today.

Probably Aksungur dropped a bomb too. But why isn't there news?

We have no clue what Aksungur is doing.
