Launching rockets from airplanes they can put 443 kg into low Earth orbit as an alternative.

Iran, we owe you one.

Allegations about TB2 sales to Tajikistan, is this true? https://www.haber7.com/dunya/haber/3384237-orta-asya-ulkelerinde-turk-sirketlerin-iha-ve-sihalarina-ilgi-artiyor

We should have uploaded sensors to meter parameters that we do not have a knowledge of in this space mission like radiation levels and such. I believe some information is not public and you can only know when you meter yourself.

Taking human presence out of the game while still having human like skills on board can enable very fast progress in space industrialization as smaller and smaller materials will be required to do the same jobs as can be done with humans. This is like a booster behind a rocket that can propel...

It is only a protective cover for a display of missile scale models (?)

There is a space race going on after decades of stagnancy in this space and private companies in particular are running first to compensate the time lost as technology in other fields had advanced more than the advance in space sector. This race is to be further accelerated by the advent of...

While Roketsan are tasked to make a space launch system their pace of progress is not assuring as they have multiple tasks at hand so it is very fortunate that private sector can take the risk of investing in this field.

Private sector dynamism is at play. @Ravager

I wonder what is happening with the SR-1 launch as it is supposed to be about time.

Any updated info as to when we plan to place our first object into orbit, I will be much more excited about it than watching somebody else run a show.

Can't see Maldives ? Because the largest of their islands can barely house a landing strip, but they have a name in its place.

Welcome aboard Maldives

I guess it should be partially cloudy at worst to be considered a good weather for a first flight so no luck in the next 5 days I guess. TAI Campus 5 day weather forecast

Probably the first flight date of Kaan will be the last time a date is given for a flight of a plane as this is actually an iconic moment in the progression of Turkish industry. After this every new launch will look smaller and even trivial.

If he were in China he would disappear for good. There was a lack of news coming from SAGE lately. I think he appeared in a YouTube video after he signed off.

Why should Baykar do anything about it while they already have access to the engine and their customers will demand the reliable Rotax instead of a lame effort engine copy. Even Rotax itself moved towards more powerful engines as the industry demands more power. And you have got the national TEI...

Localize Rotax engine, why would anyone do that. Baykar exports more than 80% of its products and you want them to localize Rotax. While also there is not guarantee that TB2 continues its success in an ever changing sector. Where does that inorganic growth come from, pulling strings to slow TAI...

That is just one experimental build. We don't know about the Chinese one and about the final configuration of Anka3 with domestics engine. Apart from air-frame specs the onboard systems load is critically important. Sensors , comms, self defense, stealth level, maneuver efficiency all go into...
