How can TAI run so many projects simultaneously is beyond me. How many prototypes are they building now? 1. TFX 2. Hürjet 3. ATAK 2(T929) 4. TİSU 5. Hürkuş 2 ? 6. T629 ?

Indeed. Sanctioning the prototypes of a trainer aircraft, no less. And If this development is true then we're off of Malaysian tender, too. This event proves once more that the most important company in Turkey is TEI(maybe alongside ASELSAN). The country's resources should be used to the...

GE has been a very beneficial and reliable partner for the Turkish engine industry. Thanks to them we have billions of dollars of worth of contracts and producing the world's most produced engines' parts. We're in the western turbine engine ecosystem. In 2009, GE has basically gifted the blisk...

The Germans

That would set us back at least five years and that's if everything goes fine. We have to get those F404s. There's no getting around it.

You mean we don't even have engines for the first flight? Good grief! Not another Altay saga! :mad:🤬

You mean new engines, right? Because iirc, the engines for the prototypes were already delivered in summer.

We're climbing a much more steep hill than our western counterparts. Having to engineer every single sub-component yourself regardless how trivial the part is ridiculous. It dilutes our efforts and spreading thinner our limited engineering talent. But that's the reality we're facing and we...

regional starlink? what is that? A LEO satellite can't be regional. And a GEO satellite has too much latency for internet.

I think she loves you back. 😂 How can an engine be this pretty? 😍

So you're suggesting BAYKAR acquired or designed this type of antenna and have two of them in opposite directions on KIZILELMA(for 360 degree coverage)? I would think they'd use it on AKINCI and TB2 as well, don't you think? And also, I'm not very knowledgeable on antennas but they don't look...

Those are not SATCOM antennas. They're either air to ground or air to air. They can't communicate via a satellite. My question was regarding BLOS.

KIZIELMA, like AKINCI, can operate BLOS(Beyond Line of Sight). For that the drone has to use a SATCOM antenna. You can see this antenna on AKINCI in the first photo. The antenna needs to point to a GEO satellite. So my question is if KIZILELMA is a combat vehicle, it will have to bank at...

I wish they asked the turbine inlet temperature of TF6000. Maybe a question about cooling techniques or SCB thermal barrier coatings would be nice, too.

Do we have any company(ies) that are specialized in landing gear design and manufacturing? Or the aircraft producers manufacture them within their own facilities? For instance, who produce(also designed) landing gear for Hürkuş, Hürjet, TFX, Kızılelma etc.? I read somewhere that you need large...

I tried to whip up a table which shows the import and export numbers with China and a colored bar to show the trade balance of the country. For instance, at the top, Australia exports 116.8 billions and imports 72.9 of goods from China which 62% of the total trade volume comes from the export...

That doesn't help the point what @bisbis was trying to make. Besides, the metal, raw material import from china makes only around 8% percent of the total import from the country. If you wanna assume his role, tell me, which country(ies) supposed to replace the EU? Name some of them, and I do a...

You couldn't have been more wrong. We have a trade surplus with the EU. According to TUIK data, In 2021, 🇪🇺 We have exported 93 billions dollars worth of goods and services to the EU. On the other hand, We have imported 85.3 billions dollars worth of goods and services from them. That...

The president confirmed it. https://www.savunmasanayist.com/cumhurbaskani-erdogandan-tayfun-fuzesi-ile-ilgili-ilk-resmi-aciklama/

I want to give some perspective on the amount of natural-gas extraction and the needs of the country. In 2021, Turkey has consumed 58.8 billions cubic meters natural gas. We have a target of producing 10 millions cubic meters of natural gas a day in 2023. If we multiply this value with 365...
