We were in a similar situation with LM in TAI now we are better off without them. Same thing can happen with GE. We can still do their work if they still want but they will not have any say in what we are doing, anyway.

New situation requires a new approach and a speedier progression towards domestic engines and planes. We can go full all out on TF6000 development and design a new plane as a twin engine unless a more powerful Hürjet with EJ200 makes more sense.

It is because GE is in TEI that we kept relying on it for prototypes. It is probably time to sever ties with GE and call it square for our invested money in the F35.

It does not happen just like snap to take a chunk of the weapons market dominated by big players. Just like how TB2 swept the place off of the competition Hürjet and others will play a similar role. All of our weapons systems for that matter. Let's see what happens after the US midterms. We will...

Twin engine Hürjet, now! Twin engine Hürjet, now! Twin engine Hürjet, now!

We can already make the hard parts, the ancillary parts are easier to make. Fuel and oil pumps and such are just a matter of time to make. Kale made them themselves for their KTJ engines.

We don't need outside help to make our planes fly we only need to work harder to make them in house. We can see how Aselsan can locally make imported parts through local industry companies. Same process can be started sooner than later for TEI projects.

Because PD170 has better high altitude performance.

I don't think this kind of systems can be regional as the satellites have to rotate around the world to maintain orbit. This means that the system must cover a belt around the world.

We don't know if it was designed to accomodate that engine alone, it looked like it can accomodate larger engines in terms of volume. But still the weight change need to be addressed. They may have to change the structure of the plane but still it may cause a setback of several months and not more.

It shows as a UFO on the radar screen at best.

I wonder if Baykar will be able to adapt the KE to the EJ2000 engine without modifying the plane's size or doing other major modifications. We know the engine houseing diameter is large enough for one thing.

Which includes Russian "special operation forces", ironicly.

You guys are seeing a mirage

That would be too fast for a target drone, it would put all of our missiles to shame.

Kızılelma can be multinational just like JSF F35 is. But this time under Turkish lead.

TF6000 engine should come online ASAP. It does not need to be matured for it to be deployed. Being a little underpowered than how it is intended to be will not make much of a difference it only needs to keep delivering the amount of power it is rated to deliver. In other words it only needs to...

Baykar should activate Blacksea Shield Company to produce engines in Türkiye as they can make engines cheaply.

Since the Kızılelma is a development aircraft I presume it will first be tested for long runway operation which is safer to do and be adapted for carrier operation afterwards.

I guess it totally depends on how well the development process goes. If they pass the developments stages smoothly without setbacks then I believe it can be ready for deployment earlier than planned.
