Thinking out of the box, how hard will it be for TEI to reverse engineer the F110? The engine is by now 40+ year old in design, I do not think it still has property rights anymore. Either the US sell them, or reverse engineer it. For a limited number it is probably better to buy, but if needed....

Err what Temel Kotil says about flying a smaller model of the ANKA-3 Could this be that model?

I have a bit the feeling that all first flights are pushed this hard to be used as elections material, hope everything will go without accidents. On the other hand I am proud like a gorilla Europe has yet to start: - Eurodrone - FCAS - Tempest I think we Turks experience luxury sickness right now

Well like said as no expert in aerodynamics I imagine Baykar will calculate wing area to have enough lift for lift off and landing at short strip and the drone being assisted by the OKIS system.

Nope why would Baykar need you to know? We are here on the forum to learn and to discuss and yes sure we can forward our ideas and thoughts. You give your opinion, which is fine and I say I am sure the experts of these matters know better. Nobody here on the forum can name anyone who knows...

We do not have to know, therefor we have our national Einstein Selçuk. If he says it is doable, I am inclined to believe it Ask me about electronics I can answer you but ask me about avionics I am a dimwit. everyone should leave the specialties to specialists. I would also not advice a surgeon...

I think Baykar is planning exactly the same as with the MQ9B STOL: taking off and landing on her own, without hooks, without catapulting

76mm ship gun (hence why MKEK develop / copied one) Fast forty 40L70 gun (also copied by MKEK) Oh yeah they delivered the 76mm gun after MKEK finished the gun, but that doesn't mean they are innocent. They tried to fuck us with embargo. Now how smart would it be to give the Italians the...

In principle I like the AW101, but we have the reality that also Italians have used embargo against us. Should not go unpunished, are we Christians to turn the other cheek or are we Turks giving the Ottoman slap?

Basically yes. Modern aircraft and also the TFx will have electro optics to search for enemy aircraft without radar on (in order not to expose herself, same that F22 does). But that means you do not want to be spotted by enemy aircrafts electro optics either, so you need stealth in the IR...

It has to be 4.5 gen first. We simply do not posses the engines to make her 5th generation. If TEI manages to make suitable engines by 2030 we can upgrade to 5th gen.

Whoever the Frenchman killed it is obvious those are not just regular terrorists, PKK goes apeshit about it. Must have hurt!

TRG-230 guidance is: GPS / GLONASS / INS no illumination needed, just coordinates

Which wars? Can you sum them? By my knowledge only used extensively in Afghanistan and some use in Syria (only in taking out some ISIS operatives, not war). When we count the number of tank and AD system kills than MQ9 does not even come close to Tb2. Its really interesting how despite having...

Well with "it seems" you are already declaring your opinion and not something factual, I guess all the countries ordering the TB2 are a bit in disagreement with you. Quality does not show on photo's, it shows herself on the battlefield. On picture the French Neuron looks quite impressive and...

If this type of tailles drone of 7+ tonnes is true than we are talking about a drone like the US Northrop Grumman X-47B. And than we are talking about an engine in the class of F110GE129 (F16 engine) My guess would than be that TAI is planning like in the TFx to use the F110 engine in the...

Greek U-214 has the same propeller but without the vortex diffuser (I wonder whether the vortex diffuser can be placed later on as well, if so the Greeks have exactly the same propeller) But without vortex diffuser the Greek submarines are a bit in dissadvantage as the modern torpedo's like...

Yes you are right, I did not mean disrespect or any but to make the difference between Azeri and Persian (both Iranian)

I think the Azeri population and Persian population of Iran is too intermingled to separate, it would need a Syria like destruction of Iran to achieve such a separation. And such a destruction of Iran would be devastating for the whole region, a result that Azeri Iranians would never wish.

I doubt that the TF6000 engine can be ready that fast to be used, it would mean the prototype engine without stress test would be put on the TISU. Highly doubtful and dangerous. I would expect the TISU prototype to fly with Ukrainian engine first and in time switch over to the TF6000
