Dear members please stay on topic in your posts. Also remember that this is a serious thread of the forum. Not a chat site!

That was expected. Otherwise it would have made the SSB and Tusas officials a bunch of liars. So in essence, the engines for the prototypes have been delivered. If @Bogeyman ’s intel were correct, then I t was for the engines of the 16 piece order Tusas received for which the confirmation of...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/gurbag-savunmadan-hidrojen-itkili-lancer-sistemi-gids/ This system can be a godsend to the problems of many a logistical nightmares. It generates hydrogen fuel for each launch process just prior to launch and uses the hydrogen to fuel the launch process. Due to...

Please do not mix apples and pears. Tomahawk missile has a turbofan engine. Kale and Safran engines that propel SOM and Scalp missiles are TurboJet engines. Turbofan engines are more efficient. Use less fuel and have longer ranges. They are also ideal for flying through denser atmospheric...

This engine with 20943lbf thrust (on paper) will fly Hurjet. But remember that this thrust is only available at take off. While flying with the augmented power, the thrust level is a lot less, at 14100lbf. On paper it is more powerful than F404 at take off. But not in actual flight mode. Also...

My bad! Reinstated. as they say in Turkish; wet logs will burn just as well when together with dry ones.😇

Please let us stay on topic. This is a TFX and trainer aircraft projects thread.

As I said in my post, Spain has done it. And will carry on further for T3 equipment integration to allow E-Scan Aesa radar and Meteor missile capability. They intend to keep these planes till 2045 like the British who would like to further modernise some 23 T1 planes so that they can be used...

First of all you said : “you can't change anything, even if you have source codes” So I said it is possible since Spain has done it, albeit up to a point. Now you are saying it is very expensive to do it. I had said that the UK had found it prohibitively expensive for budgetary constraints. So...

Spain recently had their TR1 updated to TR2+ level with a lot of Tranche 3 electronics fitted in, at the Spanish Airbus factories. If you check UK sites in detail , especially UK MOD sites, there are reports that TR1 FGR4 planes can be updated to Tranche 3 - 4 level. But the cost is...

Which Wikipedia you looked at but the one I have just looked says: quote: Hardpoints: Total of 13: 8 × under-wing; and 5 × under-fuselage pylon stations; holding in excess of 9,000 kg (19,800 lb) of payload Unquote.

1. 16 piece order is the starter-order as far as orders go with regards to Hurjet. TuAF needs a lot more than that. Currently there are 68 T38s active out of 78 in the fleet. So we will most likely buy more than the T38s we have in the inventory to replace all these old trainers. Then there...

Gökhan is an air to air missile with a ramjet engine. It is a high supersonic speed missile. Ramjets can’t go above 5 Mach as their fuel usage becomes prohibitively high after Mach 4.5. Ramjet has subsonic air speeds inside the engine. If you increase the flow of air inside the engine to...

Great news again! But I will truly believe it when I see it it happen. Unless they have a signed deal with RR, I can’t see this timeline materialising. Prof Aksit in hidden words gave the message. It is not easy to manufacture a turbofan. it takes a long time to carry out tests. Even an...

@Bogeyman , I would like to ask a simple question about the news of a possible embargo on F404 engines you brought up last night; We read in the news about the prototype engines having been delivered during the course of last few months. Were these news false...

Klimov Russian 423cm long 104cm in diameter 1055kg EJ200 UK 398cm long 73.5cm in diameter 988kg F404 US. 391cm long. 89cm in diameter 1035kg f404 being the least powerful one they will all fly the Hurjet. How much alteration the plane needs and how long time it...

We Should have gone with RR and had those engines produced under license in Turkey. This just shows that nothing should be purchased from USA from now on that is defence related. They can not be dependable.

That is the way of Eastern/Midle Eastern approach. We are classed as a developed country. (Yes n spite of our lowly GDP, we have a very strong industrial base and a literacy rate) We should be more proactive in our defence industry. We should be planning way ahead of any and all eventualities...

Anyone who knows about the intricacies of turbine engines, and having watched this interview, can easily say that making an engine that will propel TFX is not going to be a quick job. If we want squadrons of planes flying before the end of the decade, we need ready made engines and/or help build...

Aselsan MD Ahmet Akyol says that from a port in Mediterranean we are conducting successfully the duty of swarm exercises with 4 Albatros-s unmanned sea vessels. In the coming months it will be autonomous exercises with 8 swarm vessels.
