    When launched from the air it doesn't follow a ballistic trajectory(It will fly mostly in a straight line rather than an arc) so it will have a little more than double the range. Otherwise, it should at least have triple the range if fired at the same ballistic trajectory.

    This is an incorrect translation when he said stages he didn't mean rocket stages he meant air defense development stages/phases. 35mm modernized cannon, Sungur MANPADS, Hisar-A/A+, Hisar-O/O+, Hisar-RF, Hisar-U, Siper, and anti-ballistic missile system are phases of the Turkish air-defense...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    TF-6000=6000lbf dry thrust. It is a completely new engine. It has nothing to do with TS-1400. A new core will be designed. There are also 2 more turbofan engine projects one is 120cm diameter class 29000lbf(might be higher this is the requirement) TF-X engine, the other is 80cm diameter class...

    The economy grew by %0.9 compared to the second quarter of this year and grew by %21.7 compared to the "same quarter of the last year". There is nothing wrong with the numbers. This is related to covid recession so don't be fooled by numbers.

    Asked TEI about that also Mr.Akşit told something similar at one of the online meetings. What we have currently is good up to 1600-1700 degrees celsius. Heat resistant coatings were applied and cooling channels were drilled accordingly for TS-1400. Calculations were done exclusively for TS-1400...

    Type 214TN REIS Class & Submarine Capabilities in the Eastern Mediterranean

    It is caused by design/calculation mistakes while the sub was in design. Germans didn't realize it. The problem appeared when TN tested the sub at steeper diving/surfacing angles. In a normal diving/surfacing angle envelope sub behaves normally when you pass a certain angle sub loses stability...

    Type 214TN REIS Class & Submarine Capabilities in the Eastern Mediterranean

    It has stability problems at steep angles because of its gravity and lift centers. To overcome this problem submarine had to be lengthened so it got heavier. It is made of steel the longer it is the heavier it is. Rather than mounting useless weights as counterweights, we got a longer submarine...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    TF6000 is bigger compared to TS-1400 and it has nothing to do with it. It is a completely new project that is started from scratch. And there are other bigger TF engines as well. The plan is to create an engine family in the next 10 years.

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    It doesn't go above 1450 degrees Celcius because it doesn't need to go. We can easily push those blades above the temperatures you mentioned. LHTEC operates at a similar temperature. Scaling up the blades in bigger diameters will only affect yield rates since blades will become thicker(to beat...

    Type 214TN REIS Class & Submarine Capabilities in the Eastern Mediterranean

    Because U214 is an ill-designed submarine. It had stability and see keeping problems while diving and surfacing at steep angles. TN didn't accept the design at that condition so Germans offered to fix this with extra weight mounted on the old design. We rejected it and asked for a redesign...

    I'm sure. The only problem with izdeliye-30 is single crystal blades. They are postponing it because of that. Izdeliye 30 will be the first national single-crystal engine of Russia with its national single-crystal blade production capability. Chinese recently successfully developed...

    We know it is at that level because we are designing our own turbofan engines (several turbofan engine projects are running right now one of them is TF-6000) with our single-crystal blades in mind. Tubitak and TEI expanded cooperation recently. Russians couldn't even manage to produce...

    Gentlemen what is important is energy and torque density. Tümosan engine ties with Azra engine in torque density and is a lot better in energy density numbers don't lie. Stop comparing apples with oranges. If we do that we can get this approach is not scientific you can apply those things to the...
