There is next to no info on their website, which may equally be both good and bad. They should maintain confidentiality if they are getting somewhere.

There was a Turkish company working on it. Figes.

We want to be an independent maker so we make it all.

Moon landing is not a priority project that can bring immediate returns so we can put up with some delays after all, can't we.

In time for production, several years to go yet.

RR involvement should shorten the development timeline by many years. I bet they already have worked out what the engine should be like. It will depend in part on what production and material science capabilities TEI will be able to afford before the design is finalized. I think all the...

The question is what stipulations are RR putting forward for being part of the deal?

If it were KSA alone it would be easy to block but add Türkiye to that it will be hard for the german government to resist.

The hardest part to make of any turbine engine is the power turbine blades which needs to take huge heat and pressure and g-forcess and stand it for many run cycles and hours. What the engine maker says for that part of the TF-6000 is that the making of those parts is completed already in time...

I take our officials' words as the most reliable source of information and bet on 2028 as the year when we fly our Kaan with our domestic engine in trials. But I would expect it to happen even earlier as the world is heading towards even more troubled times and we want to be prepared in time for...

I don't mean to be catalogueing many things. Personally I would only chart a few impactful and iconic products that make a success story for all of us to watch. A manpad tank killer is one such weapon but platform launched ones are not that iconic. Karaok has not made a succes story yet but we...

Reliable simulation software only emerged in the last couple of decades. We are living in different times.

Imagine what happens at wartime. Military industrial complex can use some overload test to prepare for wartime. At wartime engineers will be lucky for just losing sleep. It is OK to fail if you are speeding. More prototypes are in production already, so there won't be major setbacks. Somebody...

If you guys provide the data I will do the charting.

Karaok countries; the world is a lonely place. @Ripley

It will not be required to defend itself, perhaps a couple of WVR missiles can be provided for targets of opportunity. But as long as it stays in the air it will provide radar capability to other assets. Several of such planes can create a wall of radar coverage. For possible additional power...

Wouldn't Akıncı's nose radar be usefull for this purpose?

Why not, but it should get exciting before we start watching.

It is also called "aborted landing" in aviation.
