If each plane stays in the line for 30 days it meets the production plan of 24 planes per year.

Why the serial production, once all components are prepared?

I was expecting this, it has been smooth sailing for Türkiye thus far. One of the hardest parts was the main bulkhead and it was sorted out by using 3D printing I am guessing. The remaining big challenge should be the alloy of turbine blades on which there is work going on. And sensor fusion can...

We only need a steady production rate of 24 copies of TFX per year. This rate can cover orders of both Türkiye and foreign users.

114 days to roll out, no doubt.

The world respects hard power, we need to show that we have it.

I wouldn't say that. Total usefulnes of KE can still be more as it is related to the number built multiplied by effectiveness. Like comparison beyween F22 and F35.

They are probably waiting until they complete TS1400 development. They have already started work of the military version of TS1400. TF6000 work kicked in. A turboshaft version is a smaller business. They can somehow still source PT6 engines. TS1400 turbine blades have been domesticized but the...

I the space sector what Turkiye needs to do is to move fast until we can launch satellites to Geostationary orbit which means we need 50 meter high 400 ton launch vehicles with around 2.8 - 3 meter diameter.

Turboprops will burn fuel fast and will decimate endurance. The airframe is made for half the payload. You need to change many things to make it carry the increased airframe weight and payload weight and possibly fuel weigh to maintain a respectable endurance. Maybe they can hit a balance...

Numbers are good, energy sector adapts changes very well.

You simply get an Akıncı by doing those modifications to Aksungur, then what is the point.

We have the late entrant advantage here, we know what worked and what didn't looking at the stories of other players. If we can afford to experiment more we can get to a position where we will have caught up with our pier nations in terms of resources or even better as it gets cheaper to do...

I simply omitted to include in my post the fact that we have a burgeoning space sector and we are raising the people to make it happen. We are even buying information packages from other nations. We even have a growing defense sector to go along with it. We practically have everything in place...

You mean an ex-commander.

We only need them for our recycling industry. We should put all our money on our own development work. It is mere months before TB3, Kızılelma and DİHA take to the skies among others. We don't need anything that we don't make and we can make anything that we need.

If we can find more R&D money we can make strides.

For the functions in question automatic and autonomous are no different.

“If you’re not failing, you’re not trying hard enough.” A few flaws here and there is the price of moving fast.

It is not only about the volume of internal bays but also about how the legs are folding which seems to be folding to the front. The leg root volume and volume of other parts of the leg also plays a role, things can change. A little movement of the legs can open up space. They don't want to be...
