In Teknofest? I saw one Hürjet in Teknofest and that was a mock-up. If there was a finished prototype what is the point of bringing a mock-up to the event?

No foreign companies for design but there is no hundred percent locality, of course. The previous electric train project's prototype, it had 160km/h top speed, had 60% locality rate. And they said with serial production it's going to be 80% local. However, I don't know if any news surfaced about...

I wonder why they didn't aim for 250km/h but 225km/h.

No. He means 35000lb engine won't be that big of a jump from TF-6000. It's just a "slightly" larger engine.

It's such a pleasure listening to him talk about engines. I wish we could see him more. The man has a glow that makes you trust him immediately. It's weird. Maybe it's just me.

He said "when we increase the radius by 15cm..." not the diameter.

There is report button at the bottom-left corner of each post. You can use it if the post violates the forum rules.

I don't think the customers are opting for CATS. It's inferior to the WESCAM's or Hensoldt's optics. If F500C was ready then the situation might have been different.

It indeed is. I wish F500C was there to take advantage of this number. But it all has to go to Canadians or Germans. A big opportunity is being missed.

Why was my post deleted? There was no politics in it. I didn't question his intentions. Being late to the game, he(Selçuk Bayraktar) openly criticizes the 5th generation(manned) fighter projects. Whether he is right or not is a matter of logical discussion not a political discourse. @T-123456

I'm not talking about Greece versus Turkey or something. I am making more general statements. Drones will dominate the skies and none of what you wrote can stop this. Not saying this will happen next year or this decade but it's inevitable. And Turkey is one of the front runners of this technology.

This is not true. We have become good at UAVs because they're very cheap and effective at counter-terrorism. And we're building on the success of our first generation UAVs since then. The drones have different capabilities and roles. Prior drones were not designed for contested airspace. But...

It is the dissociation of religion and technology for them. When they see an institution for science and technology entangled with religiosity, they won't take that organization seriously and think there's corruption in it.

You're living abroad and might be detached from Turkey's demographics but I'll tell you. The young in Turkey is becoming exceedingly non-religious. Any speech or action involving religious sanctimony is an immediate red-flag. If you want your talent pool is to be large then you have to keep your...

The company is understaffed and trying to attract as many talent as possible but then pulls something like this. Way to go for PR! How should we interpret this? What is he doing there? I don't know how others feel but it's a disturbing sight for me.

He is referring to the fifth post of the thread.

This also means TS-3000 is officially shelved.

I take it back. He is a visionary but also a very level-headed man. Reusable rockets are not realistic for Turkey, not for the next two decades at least.

Yes that is less than mastering reusable rockets. Many countries have shot satellites before. But when it comes to reusable rockets there's only one company, SpaceX. Although it's stupidly hard technology to develop, I think it's a worthy goal for Selçuk Bayraktar aspire to achieve. It goes...

I think his focus is on reusable rockets. A man of his caliber wouldn't settle for less, imo.
