    The TEI TS-1400 engine is 20-30 kg heavier than the LHTEC CTS800 engine that was used as a basis when the project started. Because Western countries did not sell us the top notch super alloys that they used. We used super alloys that were lower quality but sold as "off the shelf" products. And...

    What is the source of this information? As far as I know, the TS-1400 engine will be 20-30 kg heavier than the competitor engine, not 30-40 kg.

    IMO, we have already passed that point in terms of domestic industrial infrastructure. I think we have become capable of not only designing a turbofan engine from scratch, but also producing it with domestic means down to the simplest bolt. We will no longer be stuck with a simple pump. If that...

    I think there are two possibilities: a) They are passing cold air around the engine to reduce the thermal signature of the engine and that gap is what is doing it. Or, b) They are planning to use a much larger engine in future versions and the engine bay is designed accordingly...

    Actually, I'm curious about "the turbo engine". Erin Motor?

    TR Small Aerial Drones & Loitering Ammunitions

    Drones & loitering munitions & satellites are, IMO, the 5th major breakthrough in warfare technologies in history. The first was the bow and arrow. The second was explosives. The third was cannons. The fourth was airplanes. The fifth will be Drones & loitering munitions & satellites. Each...

    I fully agree to you. If we go by the Meteor example, let's say you examined the Meteor Missile in 24 hours. The problems starts after that. Especially those with very tight tolerances and requiring long periods of trial and error to integrate into the system, will often be extremely costly. In...

    Even if France could check one by one, nothing would change. A well-organized and very large team could examine and copy any air-to-air munition in its entirety within 24 hours. Even down to the source codes! The munition would then be placed back into the EF-2000 fighter jet and destroyed by...

    The French have their tails tucked in badly with the USA in aviation. Because they fell out with the USA because of Canada and Greenland. They foolishly filled the Rafale and its ammunition, which they boast about so much, with USA components. They would have happily gone to the Russians, but...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    If the USA does not give us GE F110E engines, I think the following will happen: The "Kaan-P" fighter jet will be put into production with China's WS-10G engine and these engines will be assembled on the fuselage in Pakistan.Then some of these aircraft will be deployed in Turkiye and their...

    Don't worry about exports to the European region, my friends. Even if bilateral relations are perfect, TR-EU trade is doomed to weaken. The reason is the structural weaknesses in the EU's core economies. In fact, bilateral relations are not getting any better. On the contrary, we see new lows in...

    We can't buy them. If Donald John Trump's head is blown off during his inauguration, the USA will be dragged into a second civil war. The political climate is already more tense than ever due to the wildfires in Los Angeles. Then we can't buy those tanks because they will use them to kill each...

    Yes, I have said this in the past. Now I am raising the stakes and saying that their collapse will come around 2028! Bigotry, hatred, mismanagement and deep-rooted corruption will end the statehood of the Iranian state firstly and then the Pakistani state. The state of Afghanistan has been in...

    Actually, I think we are clearly within this topic. And if we are going to talk about the image above, "Anka-4" will be a high-performance interceptor drone that will accompany Kaan. If this is really what is planned by TUSAŞ, then I ask why there is a need for "Anka-4" (or whatever its name...

    What I don't understand is why do we need Anka-4 when we have Kızılelma? Do we have a lot of money to throw away?
