From the list only Hürjet value is estimated from the Korean FA-50 Fighting Eagle which is 12.215 kg. All other values are official. EDIT: American Boeing-Saab T-7 Red Hawk plane powered with the same engine weighs 12.125 kg with first flight in 2016. Hürjet is newer than both Korean and...

They excluded Türkiye from the F35 program upon request by Israel and they failed to foresee that Türkiye can make even a better plane all by itself. At the end they are bound to lose their air superiority to Türkiye in just a few short years.

You want to thread carefully and take it slow. It is best we make further moves after we reap the benefits of our previous finds. There are many locations that still need to be explored in the Black Sea. Four locations have already been announced for drilling in this year for petrol alone. And...

We certainly will not give up our invested money in the F35 program but there maybe opportunities down the road where we get the return of our money in many different ways. So we can postpone a payback but we keep the account open.

Thank you for going through the trouble of writing up but circumstances never lay out a clear picture where you can see what path and decision is the best. It is a constant bickering between loyals of Türkiye and rivals that no matter what you do they come up with some counter offense to curb...

Kaan will be 5.5 gen so we will not have any 5 gen planes ever :LOL:

If there is a will there is a way but it takes courage to go for it against all odds.

Like there was a better way.

Kalkan can already do 12 hours as it is while Schiebel does half as much. While Kalkan has larger wingspan it does not need a catapult or recovery net to operate like the Scaneagle. Kalkan is more practical than others in every way. Easier to handle with a smaller weight than Schiebel too.

Electric propulsion only recently became capable of supporting useful loads for justifiable duration. You need to be able to put together best of everything to make a compelling product. domestic fuel injected piston engine for long endurance domestic high zoom camera for high quality visuals...

The future of aviation offers a lot of variety so we need to make fleet of a sensible combination of all kinds of fliers and not just rely on a few options. Instead of making lots of the same design we should test fliers through time and see which ones survive the requirements of the time before...

In the timeframe of a decade we can expect to be in financial surplus rather than deficit so we can have respectable numbers of anything starting in 5 years from now.

Larger shipbourne helicopter drones became useless before they even became useful for observation purposes.

Altınay is Aselsan

In the VTOL urban air mobility industry people were skeptic that multicopters wouldn't stand a chance in adverse weather conditions but their view changed after they saw the video where a sailor lets go of a small drone from his hand out the door of a sail boat where the drone flies high, takes...

Similar to what is happening in mobile phone networks technology a strategy involving Long Term Evolution can be adopted where you upgrade the platform in a continuous manner. In this case making high numbers of a single incarnation of a plane is not suitable and you want to have a mix of...

Those few engineers have the backing of thousands when they think they are lacking in their efforts. They also use the work of engineers that went into the subsystems they are using on that system. The resulting system would not be possible without the works of engineers that made the components...

93% of the money that will go into the making of 250 Kaan fighters will stay in the Turkish economy so not a big deal how much it costs. At 100 million a pop it can even be considered cheap. And we get to pay for it over a decades time.

They probably want to slow down the coming of a BRICS currency.

Baykar's came with a Turkish made engine and the support of thousands employees behind it for a difference. I am not sure how Kalkan will perform but I have seen small drones performing perfectly in gale force winds.
