In technical and technological terms, how different is it to produce a turbofan engine than a turbojet one?

What is the current status of the second prototype?

Landing gears were open all the time. Does that not change RCS?

The smoothness of the craft is on par with F16S during taxi take off flight and landing. Unbelievable. Perfect perfect...

The is the one I like most. To have something in production is a great achievement. Big kudos.

Is this certain? Or is it a will offered by Turkish side?

All should be concluded in 3 days..

I am pretty certian some of those who are complaining about the deal were complaining about the F35 or KAAN as well. We are proceeding with the best option available here. And it not like KAAN will fly later today with full force. We don't even have an indigenous engine yet and we don't know...

Good read about the Viper https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/flying-the-block-70-f-16-ultimate-viper-according-to-its-test-pilot

Being able to develop and manufacture strategic products is of high value and sometimes invaluable, and such ability also provides passive income hence you won't be importing the goods, meaning you will be saving money. Consider how much billion dollars Türkiye has spent throughout the years...

What about two PT6 engines on Hürkuş? Would that increase speed and agility

First prototype of TULGAR is ready! https://www.defenceturk.net/kaan-pilotlari-icin-gelistirilen-tulgarin-ilk-prototipi-uretildi

As I presumed before, more strategic tests and developments are not announced immediately and fully.

From GPT: One significant challenge is stability and control. Traditional aircraft designs with distinct fuselages and tails provide inherent stability and control surfaces, making them easier to handle. Flying wings require sophisticated fly-by-wire systems and control algorithms to ensure...

Why have not we heard much ground test news prior to the flight? Any ideas?

https://www.yesilniksar.com/aselsandan-onemli-aciklama/ Aselsan General Manager Ahmet Akyol "With the integration of MURAD AESA radar, Akıncı now has the ability to shoot AAM missiles like Gökdoğan and Bozdoğan."

Bayraktar keeps saying Kızılelma eill be ready for mass production in 2024. Yet we don't hear about from KE as we do with TB3. I assume tests on strategic assets are not released to the public as much. We know Hürjet activated afterburner too but we don't know what is the current status. Right?

AFAIR the engine was faulty and due to the damage inflicted on Sich motor company facilities, a replacement was not expected anytime soon.

Ath this point, F35 or SU57 detection renge is of more importance I guess.

You speak like you can replace patriots in a week's time. You produce these drones during peace time. They are cheap and easy to produce. When needed you use them in batches. Once strategic ADSs are down, your enemy has a big hole in it's air defence system.
