I want to see these rockets blowing up in the air.

That's because you overlook the realities and can not wrap your head around the fact that Turks have been miserable guardians of a homeland full of natural resources. Making Canal Istanbul is another means that will make good use of geographic advantages and will bring riches to the nation. We...

Turkish hegemony/sovereignty on Turkish land. We held the land but we underutilized it like we didn't own it.

We should do everything but we can't squeeze too many things in a short time as it will cause some alarm bells to ring. The main thing we can do is to conduct as many research projects as we possibly can and strengthen our industry base. The ability to make many things locally is more valuable...

The world economy is doing bad now and we have a good chance to build the canal at a lower cost. We won't have to make concessions to make it happen. It will cost around $10bn and it has a chance to pay it off in a few years. It is economically very profitable and politically very beneficial. If...

I would look for a national solution. Only acceptable for stop gap. They could probably make it if they started early enough. If only were we sanctioned for this HUD.

You are just grossly looking at numbers. Delivery times of goods have increased their importance. People can not afford to wait long for deliveries.

"Silah tasarımları konusunda iddialı olduklarını ve yeni projelerin olduğunu ifade eden Aral, “2017, 2018, 2019 ve 2020 yılında tasarım ödülleri aldık. Bu sene de çok büyük sürprizlerimiz var. Biz her zaman müşterilerimizin sesini dinliyoruz. Pazarı, ihtiyaçları ve değişkenlikleri çok iyi takip...

You need to factor in the world population increase which is supposed to be 25% from 2020 to 2050 and more beyond. You also need to factor in cruise industry growth towards the still less explored Black Sea region. You need to factor in the Belt and Road Initiative where some of the freight will...

They can learn a few things but not to the degree that they can make their own but to the degree that they marvel at it.

These helicopters were discussed at a webinar that I watched today. They will be expensive. I have a post about the webinar in the Turkish helicopters thread. "The Future of Military Helicopters"

A centrifugal compressor doubles the air pressure; an axial compressor multiplies the pressure by 1,2 . When you have 4 compressor stages your pressure becomes 1.2^4 = 2.0736 times the initial air pressure. A four stage axial builds more pressure than a one stage centrifugal compressor.

In an industry webinar about the American Army FARA and FLARA programs. Which is related to my post #399. Which shows one of the runners for the program.

Probably, but this size engines usually have cooler exhaust temperature and it is easier to make turbine blades which are probably cast as a single unit like blisks.

SSM should simply purchase airframe's design IPs and build them themselves under STM or similar. They can have access to many more designs this way and encourage designers to patent their inventions.

I think the 15km is about the radio control range otherwise even the simplest air vehicle can cover more range in two hours.

This is good and all but they should first acquire the technology to individually feather a blade around the rotation path like does some of the American new helicopter designs like the Sikorsky Raider X. This technology can command individual blades to change pitch to account for loss of lift...

I bet they are using thicker material for prototypes and probably they can go for flimsier for production. They should hit a balance for durability and weight. But the primary goal is making it work and the secondary goal is to make it work better.

Two hours operation is way too much for a backpack model. It will depend on payload capacity requirement but electric civilian drones can fly for around 40min with light payload (?) A hybrid drone with electric vertical propellers and gas horizontal propeller like the Aselsan one fits the bill...

I hope this is not intended for solely the Aselsan design that was circulating lately, that would be a shame.
