Unbelievable, for one country to invest this much.

Contrary to previously announced number of mach 1.4 the representative in the video of post #862 says the speed will be up to mach 1.3 He is calling it mah instead of mak. Is it a different thing than the mach we know or is he lying?

Hürjet's max speed is targeted as mach 1.3, tells something about the engine but who can interpret with lots of dots missing.

Other companies should put more things on the table cutting out foreign dependence. We don't need products with strings attached to them for our armed forces. Consolidation is a good thing if you watch out for pitfalls like low product quality. High domestic input with minimal supply chain risk...

Maybe shadowed by rocket science but what is with that underwater casing on that camera?

Murad Bayar was acceptable for his time but when Turkey was to shift gears the times of Murad Bayar was to be left in the dust.

Weren't we expecting the SORS in June, nice surprise.

"Lazer entegre montaj fikstürü kontrol sistemi" Laser integrated assembly fixture control system If you guys remember the KFX assembly line large piece placement tooling, I guess a similar system is being developed for TFX and Hürjet.

When I read the details I see that they hope to get something from solar panels which is futile, as solar panels can create little electric and their weight is not worth the trouble especially with a VTOL plane. Also the configuration is in serial hybrid and electric motors are used for the...

Safran, Honeywell, GE, RR all have such systems now, but the majority of the eVTOL industry want to go fully electric rather than hybrid mostly because of cost issues of turbine systems. However diesel hybrid is a more economic solution which is now gaining some momentum...

The engines TEI are making are pretty good for civilian projects too as they are already developed for harder requirements of the military. They have quite sizable alternators for on board systems and that power can be used to trickle charge batteries in a hybrid system. But our industry is slow...

Even if it did conversion losses would be too much. Serial hybrid has those losses and can not really be implemented on small systems. The PG50 has a pretty hefty alternator power for its size but still nowhere near enough for anything related to propulsion. A parallel hybrid is the way to go, I...

A hybrid drive system but electric parts and combustion part are independent. The electric part becomes a dead weight once in the air not contributing to propulsion until it has to land. There must be a better way where combustion engine with its mighty fuel capacity can contribute to lift...

The lack of them, possible. But we will try to make them until make them. A MMU without them is a plane with strings attached, partially Turkish, unacceptable for medium to long term.

You have to make everything in parallel to make them ready in time for production. It is also a matter for the industry to develop capabilities, consider it like how the US did space science and engineering to benefit it in other areas. We can not leave any area untouched. This is an engineering...

Good to know that we are doing it.

Turkey does not depend on Ukraine for technology acquisition. Ukraine can only help with a few years of head start in several areas. Russia does not have the strength to capture to hold a big chunk of Ukraine let alone targeting Turkey.

The prospect of involving the UK in more projects will surely be enticing for the UK as they have put many things up on sale after the Brexit and in the pandemic. We should take this opportunity to utilize their expertise in a similar manner as we can do with Ukraine. TFX and its engine and a...

So funny that we can move up by just waiting for other to come down. Standing strong becomes moving up in the aftermath of the pandemic.
