Most important ongoing projects we have at the moment are based on; Will, Shall, Going to. They all relate to engines. We need engines for our tanks and armoured vehicles. We need engines for our TFX, Hurjet, KE and TISU We need engines for our Sea vessels - both Diesel and Gas turbines We are...

Mahmut Aksit on a recent interview, said that we now have produced the raw metal alloys that are needed in the production of single crystal blades. @Javaid ’s post Dr Aksit makes a point of it. Most vital ones are now produced in house.

When F16s were first introduced they were dropping like flies. Their accidents and problems have been a lot better during the last couple of decades though. To date their average has been 13 planes per year. There are 4500 of them in service. And this amount of yearly loss is considered normal...

Please watch this video. Then you will understand what @TheInsider is telling.

I think in order to keep negotiation doors open and also to be able to recoupe some of the 1.4 billion dollars we paid for the F35s we never received, we are keeping the F16V70 project alive. Also we need to make up the numbers missing and/or will be missing in our f16 fleet for the interim...

All engine and propulsion related posts have been moved to propulsion thread. Please carry on discussions there. Lets leave this tread for TFX and trainer aircrafts.

One should not compare Chinese engines with western engines. WS10, a few years ago couldn’t last more than 500 hours. With recent improvements they managed to improve the lifespan to, first, 800 hours; Then to 1500hours. But they are starting the race with a deficit as their engine tech is based...

TVC was not specifically mentioned during Dr Aksit’s speech. But he did say that , today at TEI, they can manufacture a 35000lbf thrust engine like the one that powers f22. Now saying and doing are two different things. On paper he believes TEI can manufacture this engine. In other words...

Turkey will produce the so called 5th generation turbofan engine for the TFX sooner or later. Hopefully sooner rather than later. Being able to produce Single Crystal Turbine blades for a small diameter engine like TS1400 does not automatically mean that TEI will be able to produce Single...

There is a slight misunderstanding in the way it is translated I think. According to the article in Turkish, Dr Aksit is saying that the TF6000 can lend itself to various end uses; Such as if we made a turboshaft version, it could fly Atak-2 and if we turned it in to a marine turbine engine, it...

Not according to the video I have shared! Is what we have today as a prototype of TFX on the production line same as what we had been served up until then? Even this prototype may change a bit. Heck! We are using F110s in our prototype. Serial production will have a totally different engine. So...

It is a well known fact that, as Tempest’s power plant, a variable cycle turbofan engine option is being considered. https://www.edrmagazine.eu/rolls-royce-the-tempest There is no published technical data on Orpheus engine. Being a totally modular and scalable engine, it is produced as a...

Interesting video about the Orpheus engine project of RR regarding application to Tempest and TFX. There is a part where it is mentioned about what I Demir said with respect to MMU engine, that the Turkish side is ready to take the business further. As RR has proven that they can produce...

There is something not quite right about those arrival times/flight duration times. Omtas speed is 0.4mach according to I Sunnetci’s tweet. That is in line with this ATGM’s specs. So check. But he also claims that the same duration is given as 1+ minute for the Atmaca missile. That doesn’t make...

Theoretically could be possible. The FADEC of twin engined use, will be different to single engined use. There could be slight differences in the airflow of the two types of the engines in certain cases. This should best be answered by TEI. Recent F16 planes generally use F110-GE129C and D...

Although 132 version has an advantage in thrust, it comes with penalties. It is more expensive and uses more fuel which can reach double digit number percentage levels. F110-GE132 is configured for a single engine use. We needed engines that were configured for twin engine use. Hence the “E”...

So , would you say there could be some truth in what @merzifonlu was trying to point out before many here dismissed his view and blamed him with flat-earthing. Clearly Tusas and BAE engineers have moved away a bit from classic western design approach when it comes to the rear part of the plane...

No one is going to sell us stealthy engines for our stealth planes. So we have to make do with the next best engines we can get our hands on. These are F110s, in spite of the fact that they would compromise the plane’s stealth. One of the prerequisites of stealth planes is the capability of...

F110-GE129E That is the twin engined configuration of the F110 that are used in F15 planes.

I would say; Don’t underestimate the Turkish and BAE Systems engineers who have been designing this plane for all these years. Also the target to achieve is not the stealthiness of F35. But of F22. If they are building a plane the shape of what we have seen today, they are not going to make it...
