Hater gonna hate. Some forum members had gotten sick of hearing test news, which means hard work, that pays off.

"Baykar'ın 7 bin 500 kişilik bir ekibin" https://www.haber7.com/guncel/haber/3550659-selcuk-bayraktardan-carpici-cevap-kimse-yalanlarini-baykara-sokamaz Baykar seem to have grown to 7500 people; I had lost count at 5500 some time ago. This number may be including the acquisitions.

They made many prototypes and many tests, maturation of the platforms is paramount otherwise many companies can produce some specks. Baykar DİHA looks more streamlined, you can find better images of it.

There are now several small VTOL makes of this type in the market. Looks like the competition will start to win a tender. Baykar spent a lot of time improving their DİHA. I can safely say that Baykar should be ahead in this game.

The actual number should be way ahead of that number I gather from all the bits and pieces of information we have heard along the way so much so that it can be put to flight trials in a matter of a few months I would say. However if there is no pressure for them to do so they are already putting...

Do you have a link to that statement video please. He never gave a thrust level number before, so this seems suspicious.

This is a critical first flight not just any flight. You don't want an unlucky event to mar the national fightermaking endeavor.

You still risk the remaining engine flamig out, especially when you have not made the engine, so why risk an unlucky crash.

You want to restart if the engine flames out in flight.

It is good enough if anyone gives a ballpark date when they don't even have to, it is development work and can be vastly off and still very acceptable.

There is only so much space in the market, there is not enough unsatisfied demand for Lentatek to address. It is not any different in the world, there are only a couple of players in every country. And finally Lentatek did not go all out, it is like a side job for the owner.

This is like a dream coming true. We could only read about them in the literature in the past.

Imperial is so past century, today we talk about interests, of ours and of our friendly nations'. It is the same for everyone who has power. You want to protect your interests agains hostiles. You want to have a space center in Somalia you have to protect it. You want to explore and extract...

Possibly about some maintenence work at Piaggio I guess.

So they can actually keep a secret from social media.

I would think of names like code names rather than literal names. Levent is used as a man's name in the modern day and seldom used to mean the marines. Levent is converted to levend when it receives a possessive suffix. I would choose levend over levent as it becomes a distinctive private name...

Any VTOL can be expected from TAI including a jet fighter at this stage. However we can rule out very smal ones like Baykar DIHA and similar size. Probably one with an MTOW of 300+ kg is a useful one with available propulsion options.

Block 30 and biock 40 would be with domestic engine as the engine will have likely been matured by then. However earlier stages will need to go with the best engine available at the time. If foreign engine is better then foreign and if early Kaan engine is better then national engine would be used.

Times change and they can align better with us.

Türkiye is stronger than ever and is getting even stronger by the day, so chill.
