I agree. It is not about developing engine. It is develeoping en engine that has high t/w ratio and long endurance. As far as i know thats where kaveri engine did not meet requirements due to low t/w ratio. I want to remind you mr Aksit words that developing an turbofan engine is one of the...

We are already manafacturing t70's which capable of 10t+ take off weight and plan making t925 in future. Why should we get aw101 merlin. That is very expensive to procure and will take time to acquire.

It is all about interests, when Greeks pushing Germans to sanction Turkey more, they say they are already making their best however, there is a limit. Today, lets say, if Turkey-us trade volume is around 50billion usd, things would have been different. Economical presence is as much important...

Eurofighter is now much matured platform and better interceptor for air to air operations. Yes, it is expensive. However, not expecting any kind of delays as f35 project. Although chinese j10 shows some promises, i do not believe that chinese would provide it with our avionics and subsystems...

Of course, i do not expect that happen. Typhoon seems to be only alternative. Guys, do not put so much emphasis on kizilelma as an alternative. May be a generation later ,something with 20000lbf capable engine(s), mach 1,6+, 5000kg payload and rotary cannon, interceptor drone would work in aegean.

It is really time to diversify the TurAF fleet from American fighters like UAE did by ordering rafale. Our options could be Typhoon. Its too much dependence on one country.

What should be expect in terms of range for initial versions of Gökdoğan?

I heard rumors of motor sich opened office or factory in Turkey from a friend of mine. Then, i saw this ekşi post about existence of motor sich. Whats your thoughts?

I am sure, it is about the ip rights of the tech developments that should stay in Turkiye. At some point, project could benefit brits more and we ll pay them anyway to somewhat contribute.

Gökbey with Ts1400 has not been started manned test trials. It should give you an idea about how long woul it take for mius.

Actually thats why i say 2/3 of price. Otherwise, you dont see a price difference of 30 percents on between typhoon and rafale on a similar package.

It is not their jellibons, it was one left from one before Gökçek's term which is called Germiyanoğulları.

Considering us selling predators between 120m to 160m usd each with logistics and tranining an akinci should never be sold below 2/3 of predators price. Akıncı is the league that only tr and us could reach at the moment.

Should they visit Tai less, or everytime they visit Tei should come up with new invention?

So you mean structurally it is not feasible and high power rating is only to reach higher altitudes. Because akinci a is already tested with neb84 and there was 1,3 tons of payload during flight.

That means it is almost 2tons of external payload and even more with some standart internal payload. 2,2 to 2,5tons of payload at 30kft is where akinci b hits its limit. Thats good.

It is saying max payload but what i see is 2 mark82 bomb with teber guidance kit which should be 300 kgs each. It does not seem to be max payload. What do i miss as external payload?

Yes, that means akinci has total of 1500hp and mq9 has 940hp. Ofcourse wing area weight and altitude power may affect max altitude, i just do not see any convincing argument. Thats why some countries which operates western drones came to TEI to test engines in altitude bench.

You know , i am thinking that they are exaggerating those numbers sometimes. It is on the spec sheet but there is not any proof that revealed.

I hope that it will yield faster technological advancement with continuous political support of governments in long term.
