If defence development projects could greately benefit from budget re-allocations it could be better to spend the money elsewhere. If the engine development projects could be helped by spending more money then the returns could be wastly more attractive. I think there is a pace of development...

We have no clue how much power the TB3 needs to take off from the Anadolu but if it lacks power some cable tug assist will work wonders. A more powerful engine if the TB3 ever needs one will rid the assist cables but is not absolutely necessary.

Such a platform is also suitable to make space launch of rockets but only after it is retired.

KAAN first flight countdown timer

That is a possibility but why have Kaan stand on one foot like a punishment.

Must be the second prototype with no undercarriage. Front part suspended on the infamous 6x6 cm profie stand.

Latest of the Baykar exports map already including Banglasdesh and other updates, also with style makeover.

Good news to enthusiasts; now we can train with pistol caliber carbines at civilian shooting ranges. We can now hope for rifle calibers to hit the ranges going forward.

Turks are not a bunch of cowards or fools. We know that standing our ground today will stop the enemy from making gains. We can live on a loaf of bread but we won't stand down when we see the wrongdoing. Moaners are losers.

Once we establish the ecosystem that can make a tank we can make varieties of them possibly very different from the current Altay configuration. So, 250 Altay maybe sufficient and we call our future tanks some name else.

At some point in the future we will possibly need to convert the Kaan engine core into a civilian turbofan engine to power our passenger plane fleet, we need to be prepared for this too.

Türkiye is on its own side, kill the promised land dream before it is a thing.

It is dubious but I like to keep it there as there were signs like pictures of officials holding scale models. Highly likely to come true IMO.

Uzbekistan is on board with TB2.

Jet engine development efforts need to be maximized, everything else is marginally important.

That's what we are doing, mostly internally.

As a final word for wankel engines; their "apex seal" wearing problem is their biggest problem that shortens their maintenance lives. You can also check out Mazda's wankel engines for cars, they keep coming back with improvements but still didn't make a success.

I mean the Liquidpiston company started making this engine long time ago, I have been following ever since they first appeared as I have been looking for engines for my projects.

Baykar's VTOL is a hybrid, so are many others. But their configuration uses two seperate systems actually. Electric part does the vertical take off and landing and fuel engine does the forward propulsion in plane mode. It is not very efficient to keep two different power source and propulsors on...

My favorite rotary engine maker for drones; they even called me to offer their engines for my drone project a few years ago. https://www.aieuk.com/
