Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymers = CFRP When mixed with various different elements this material lends itself to so many different industrial uses that it is mind boggling. There are a couple of good articles on it below. Especially the second articles explains about using it in marine...

As a partner they would have a say and the right to protest such a sale. Kale officials stressed that the rights of the engine will be staying in Turkey. Think of it this way; Would Turkey be pleased if AEI Systems of UK owned by Canik, decided to sell 30mm and 105mm cannons to Greece? Surely we...

It is not up to us to fund the development of the RR engine. TAEC will fund it and make the engine and TAI will buy it. They will make their money by selling it to TAI. In the meantime TEI will make the indigenous engine. It will be the engine for newer blocks of MMU. So only TEI engine will...

There is “cruising speed” and “supercruise”. Former is the steady speed of an aircraft at most fuel efficient mode. (Apparently for KE this is going to be 0.6 Mach) Latter one is the capability of an aircraft to keep and sustain a speed above the speed of sound for extended period without...

No one will give you IP rights of a 5th generation turbofan engine. Let us be realistic. You can’t really expect RR to relinquish a technology that took them decades to perfect, even if we are paying mega bucks for it. According to the latest statements released by Kale, the best offer will be...

If the jet turbine engine has been manufactured with the right alloys and materials that can withstand corrosion and the engine inlets are washed with special soap regularly, cleaned and well covered after each use, there should be no problem with the engines. Soviets have been well known for...

We have gone past buying US’s second hand garbage. Those AH1Z Vipers are not the right helicopters for our frigates and for TCG Anadolu. We have transferred the super cobras to Anadolu because we had no other choice. But the first T929s will hopefully be navalised version of this helicopter, and...

The disclosed range of land launched Atmaca is 280km. That means 280 km from our shores no surface vessels can be safe. Not bad to control “Mavi Vatan” 24/7! That also means Aegean is fully under Turkish control.

AIP - Air Independent Propulsion As does the name suggest, it is the type of propulsion that doesn’t need presence of air. A conventional submarine has a Diesel engine that it uses when it is travelling above water. It also uses this engine as an electric generator to charge it’s lead-acid (now...

I doubt it in this initial batch. It will have an Aselsan built active protection system on it. It’s situational awareness and fire control system together with it’s armour (both ERA and conventional) will be brought up to latest spec. In general this Altay will be a big step over the...

Since we are not privy to what is being developed behind closed doors, we can only guesstimate at this stage. To our knowledge and the information released by TEI, plus reading between the lines, we know that there are two basic engines that TEI has in it’s inventory on which they are actively...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/bmc-yetkilileri-altay-tanki-2023te-teslim-edilecek/ Altay tank, in a new format is being readied to be delivered in 2023 for the first two samples of a batch of 100 tanks. Upon receipt of a go ahead from TSK after the necessary tests the remaining 98 units will...

These class of stand alone drones can be available to any one. Even civilians. What makes ours so deadly is it’s software that has stuff like face recognition, target acquisition, flight and fire control algorithms, etc.

As per my post in other thread; ”When afterburner kicks in, a 50% increase of sudden ”pulse” of thrust is exerted on all engine parts and engine to plane connections. A complete new engine has to be built to withstand to this force to stop it from crushing in to itself. Hence a different engine...

When afterburner kicks in, a 50% increase of sudden ”pulse” of thrust is exerted on all engine parts and engine to plane connections. A complete new engine has to be built to withstand to this force to stop it from crushing in to itself. Hence a different engine nomenclature. Just like Honeywell...

Commissioning, delivery, acceptance. You know these are semantics at the end of the day. If a platform is ready to be used as a fighting machine in my vocabulary that is delivered and commissioned to be ready for active service. All other stages are irrelevant from the point of view of...

Unfortunately that seems to be the situation. Within less than a month, two different statements. 9th November 2022, expected to be delivered before end of year. 6th December 2022, most likely delivery in mid 2023. There are 5 more subs to be delivered yet. I only hope they commission those...

Actually according to below message it is due to complete these tests before end of this year and be delivered officially to the Turkish Navy.

It is. as there should be one! I had rather they produced one in house than depending on supply from GE. We know that there is an indigenous Hurjet Engine design in TEI computers. But not a priority at the moment as mentioned by I Demir.
