https://www.turdef.com/Article/indigenous-ejection-seat-for-turkeys-tf-x-fighter/170 The question of locally manufactured ejection seat is not if but when as you have put it. Turkey has already signed a contract for local development of an ejection seat. This is a very high tech piece of...

This is nice to hear. Eutectic is a terminology used in chemistry. It denotes a mixture of two or more elements (in set proportions) which would melt and solidify at a single temperature that is lower than the melting points of the individual constituents. Alloys made from Eutectic Oxides of CMC...

On the contrary. We are again aiming for the top! Let me explain a bit. TF6000 has a Low Pressure turbine right at the back of it just before the nozzle. This turbine drives the big fan in the front and the Low pressure compressors just behind this fan. (The High pressure turbine drives the...

Normally I don’t like speculating. But if I have to, then it is best to relate to certain facts: TEI expertise comes from the school of US jet engine manufacturing. The military jet engines they have produced/assembled, have life expectancy of 8000 hour level. The TF6000, using Blisk tech used...

Hürjet flew (with F404 engines GE supplied). That to me shows that Tusas knows how to build a jet aircraft from scratch. OK they may have received certain technological/design help from the likes of Akaer-Brazil, used Italian flight computer systems. But that doesn’t detract from the fact that...

LUmtas GM in below picture leaves a canister. Logic dictates that it should have a sealed canister when it is situ in any sea vessel.

@Spitfire9 , Correct! RR-GE were funded, with today’s money, around 4 billion dollars by US government to develop F-136 engine. A further 4 billion was needed to complete the project when it was put on the shelf. They needed RR input to develop an engine that can be used in a vertical take-off...

What gives us or small Hungary, the power to veto Sweden‘s entry to NATO ? If it is written in the treaty, not a lot anybody can do!

Typhoon purchase issue is getting hotter. Türkiye has made it’s intentions about the purchase of 40 latest version -presumably Tranche 4/5 Typhoon very clear to UK. UK defence minister has made a visit to Ankara upon the request of his Turkish counterpart. Now it is up to UK and Spain to get...

Turkish is, at times, quite “confusing” when you translate it in to English! “En Büyük” within context can mean ; Largest, Biggest, Most Powerful. The wording used here is, in essence, quite wrong. Because there are many turbofans used in civil airliners that develop at least 3.5 times more...

As per @Afif ’s explanation , you can introduce afterburner in stages. The fuel spray nozzles can be adjusted in say 5 stages in the case of f16s to increase afterburner level in increments. When the fuel air mix is burnt in the combustion chamber to the full it would create too high a...

Please don’t forget that, although TF10K shares its core with TF6K, these engines are quite different. When a 6000lbf thrust is augmented suddenly to 10000lbf as afterburner kicks in; that 4000lbf sudden thrust will crush the engine. Therefore the TF10K has to be built to better specs to...

According to SSB then President I. Demir, the initial quantity of F110 engines for the block 10 KAAN were secured. We don’t know how many engines they agreed upon. But a Turkish squadron of 20 KAANs need approximately 42-44 engines. That carries a purchase value of 150 million dollars. Give or...

https://www.defenceturk.net/milgem-programinda-i-sinifi-firkateynlerin-uretimleri-devam-ediyor The construction of three I-Class ships is going on as scheduled. Along with the program 6th ship’s first block now in position on the slipway. Within 36 months next 3 ships will be ready for delivery...

There are 52 tranche-1 planes UK has got . They are all to be gradually retired. All of them can be upgraded to Tranche 2/3 configuration at a cost. Whether Germany has any say on the sale of planes, now owned by RAF is a matter of debate. It has been mentioned that there is a clause in the...

For quick introduction, couple of squadrons of the Tranche-1 upgraded to Tranche-2 to partial 3 set up would actually be the way to go. These planes in majority have already been configured for air to ground missions for the RAF any way. But to make it simpler to see, below is a list of Typhoon...

When it comes to national matters, money is a secondary factor of consideration. This is a litmus test for the strained diplomatic relations between Turkey and Germany, to see where Germany’s loyalties lie in NATO with respect to Turkey. It will be used accordingly in the days to come. So this...

Wankel/Rotary engines are theoretically how all combustion engines should be designed as. One single motion direction. No sudden repetitive jolts and kicks which are part of a cylinder/piston engine. If you listen to the Mazda rotary engine it sounds like an electric engine. But in real life so...

Noted! But in the coming years, if we want to sell submarines to other parties, we need to manufacture them somewhere. Especially if a partnership is realised with the Spanish. We know that STM carried out Pakistani submarine modernisation programme. Again, STM, Aselsan, HAVELSAN and ASFAT...

Well! If you check it out, the price of each S80 is near 1 billion Euros. That means 4billion Euros for four S80s. (It was estimated that in 2012 the cost of 4 subs to be around 2.2 billion Euros) Our 6 Reis class ships’ total cost, at the time of contract, was to be 2.06 billion Euros. So there...
