We should simply look into taking the GE share in TEI in return for the $1.4bn investment we made into the F35.

It is the percentage of how much the Turkish economy is bigger and smaller compared to other countries. Italy is only 1.7% bigger and UK is 21.5% bigger while Mexico is 7.3% smaller. All based on the latest PPP GDP values provided by the IMF. While these numbers do not paint the whole picture it...

Based on IMF PPP GDP estimates

Going to war with foreign weapons (I wonder what Azeris call that) is a losing proposition. Nobody wants to make you stronger other than your own self.

I mentioned white smoke with several different purposes White smoke means good combustion / good engine / good result White smoke means a new Pope is selected, a decision is made, which is good And of course you can take it literally and work on combustion more to whiten the black. But if the...

It is shortsighted to think that British technology will be handed down to Türkiye Through Spain and we will enjoy having it. Look at the US and how they are sanctioning the sale of every technology that once originated from the US and went into the making of ASML eUV machines. No deal is...

Lets talk after the TF35000 engine gets ignited; if the smoke comes out white, "no, we are good", if it comes out black we may want to talk partnership in development. In any case production work share should be considered if Spain wants to be a partner in the Kaan Project.

We have been through this process with the UK and it didn't work. We have to do the engine solo. We can take longer than we wish to but we end up with an unshared capability that we own.

Why would anyone get someone else involved in his business if he can get it done solo. Every partnership has its downsides and Europe is a big example of it.

What can the ITP offer for the making of the TF35000 engine at this stage: Design work is already almost done; prototype is expected to be ignited in a year's time. Production work share seems like a natural ask if Spain also wants to be a partner in the Kaan project.

I am guessing you can launch to any orbit from any location on earth if you want to bear the burden of carrying extra fuel to maneuver is space. With reusable rockets being able to land back to the launch site and upper stages being able to be steered to safe drop sites you only need to account...

He failed to say that an equator launch site will launch 43% more payload to orbit than the Igneada launch site with the same rocket because of bigger rotational velocity of Earth at the equator.

Flaps are used to increase lift of the wings; you lover the flap on the side of the wing where the load is heavier. Flaps and ailerons are similar but flaps are positioned inboard while ailerons are positioned outboard of the wings. So when you drop an IHA300 from one side you lover the flap on...

Probably, a more powerful engine can be fitted if necessary. EDIT: Ships' height seem suitable even without a ramp and TB3 does not even lose altitude at take off.

I read this a few days ago and Switzerland is actually considering cutting their F35 program short because of increased prices.

Japan seems to have 4 LHD ships that can possibly operate TB3. They should deploy 6 planes on each to a total of 24+ spares. They are adapting those ships to F35 though.

$110mn is more likely, which scared even Switzerland off

You should have taken the shorter list that I made :ROFLMAO:

On media there was a 400 meter radius reporting for MK84 but after seeing 400 feet on Wikipedia I though it was an error of units. But turns out that 400 meters is already realistic. While 360 meter is already observed in the field 160 meter for GAZAP is a downgrade which is noting to brag...

MK84 lethal fragmentation radius is given as 400 ft in Wikipedia. If you consider GAZAP being 3 times as powerful which can be taken as 3 times the area, doing the math you get 216 meter radius and this is 432 meter lethal diameter and equaling an area of 383 x 383 meters considering a square...
