    Unless we give up on the classic tank concept, funny images in this style will continue. What is that concept? A mobile field cannon and mobile machine gun mount that is resistant to machine gun fire and cannon shrapnel. Why has this concept become obsolete? Because the threats to tanks are no...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    Yes, of course. But by flying unmanned, you get a lot of flight hours. That's why I think tests will be done with unmanned aircraft.

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    In fact, I think that the TF-35k engine will be integrated into Kaan immediately after the first ignition and the Kaan prototype that will fly with that engine will be flown as Kaan unmanned. Since our schedule is very tight, I think both the TF-6k and TF-35k engines will be integrated into the...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    Only (and maybe) tested in the next 5 years. No certified and no put into production. It all depends on the developments in the TF-6k engine. IMO, If TF-6k engine produces at least 4500+ lb thrust on its first ignition and the TF-6k program goes very very smoothly, then the TF-35k engine will...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    What makes the engine challenging is not just the desired 25.000 lb level dry thrust. While giving this thrust level, this engine will blow out as much cold air as possible and will also be a "mini power plant". The weight of the engine that can do all this should not exceed 1800 kg. It's a very...

    France's Macron: Social media platforms should help tame violence amid riots

    When it comes to France, the list of usual suspects is long. LOL The French have many sworn enemies, as they are involved in every international issue that does not concern them, like a sauce added to a meal.

    From now on, our naval drones will mainly protect our navy against enemy's naval drones. The same rule applies on land and in the aerospace. Nothing fundamentally changes because of naval drones. Only the size of the boats in the navy became smaller. The principles of managing and maintaining...

    BTW, It was said (unofficial) by TEI officials that the TEI TF-6000 engine would be delivered for testing in KE & Anka-3 in mid-2025. 🥳

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    Yes, KAAN will definitely need a much more powerful engine. The TEI TF-6000 engine will produce 6000 pounds of thrust without afterburner. (The number "6000" in the TF-6000 coding refers to the thrust produced in pounds by the engine.) On the other hand, the expected thrust value from KAAN's...

    No TF-6000 engine = no MURAD AESA radar. Simple.

    I think drones are more suitable. In this way, both the drone and the engine can be developed simultaneously in coordination with each other.

    TR Propulsion Systems

    I think it won't take that long this time. Since the TEI TS-1400 turboshaft engine will be powered manned helicopters, preparation for the first flight and ground tests took a long time. Our test pilots could have died in a possible engine failure. Since the TEI TF-6000 turbofan engine will be...

    Each situation is evaluated on its own terms. Generalizations should not be made. For example, I think the real crime of the British was not that they confiscated the ships they sold when the war broke out. In war you need every ship. The real problem with the British was something else. For...

    I have no expectations from the USA regarding F35, F16V or even F110 engines. I'm actually surprised at the people who have expectations. Not one Trump, I think the situation would not change even if the entire Senate of USA consisted of the Trump family!

    I too think that KE could be a viable alternative, with the control station flying in the air in the AEW&C style and with the support of a very powerful artificial intelligence. But we still have an engine problem! The Ukrainian engine is not suitable for KE for various reasons. So even KE is...
