I really like and respect Dr Aksit. He is a rare gem this country has raised. But, at times, he loves blowing his own trumpet a bit too much. At the same time no matter what he says about what TEI can do; Proof of the pudding is in the eating. We are seeing the process of how long it takes to...

@Zafer Yes the chief of the TAI says in fact that “by 2028 TR Motor will have completed the design development of the indigenous engine for TFX” . Quote: Öte yandan 2028’e kadar da iştirakimiz olan TR Motor şirketimiz yerli motoru geliştirmiş olacak. Kaynak: haber.aero unquote. Since this...

In English there is a saying; “Beggars can’t be choosers” When translated in to one’s own language it is crude and rather demeaning. But in English when used in context it is just a way of expressing that when you have no other choice you have to accept what you are given. We have no way of...

PWC (Price Waterhouse Coopers) in their reports always calculate it in terms of monetary values; Value of goods locally procured against value of goods imported to complete a product. So if a plane cost you 100 million dollars to make. And the engines, paint, some raw materials and avionic sub...

There are some conflicting statements here. TR Motor company is a design bureau. They have no means of physical manufacturing capability. They had formed a partnership with Ukranian design company Ivchenko Progress, prior to the start of the war, which makes one think that they were short in...

A true stealth engine like the ones in B2 bombers have higher bypass ratios. So RR is on the right track.

33-35000lbf class turbofan. Definitely no less than 30000lbf.

Congratulations to S Korea!

We still do not have the tech and expertise to navalise a helicopter. T70 helicopters are being produced under license. Their numbers and specifications are set. We can not change them. By the time we produce operational, navalised indigenous Seahawk alternatives, in quantity, we could be...

Exactly! Gökbey MTOW is 6 ton with 2 x 1500HP engines AW101 MTOW is 14.6 ton with 3 x 2100HP engines.

Being a designer and producer of a complete gas turbine engine is one thing and being a part of a big player’s eco system is another. There are many companies that produce critical parts for the likes of GE, RR, P&W and CFM. Avio-Aero is now part of GE eco system. Same is valid for some of the...

Well, think of it this way: Our Hisar and Siper missiles; If they were not able to stop supersonic missiles like HARM, Brahmos or Hellfire Missiles, what is the point in having them on board our ships? Are they only good for intercepting air breathing cruise missiles and planes? After all we are...

- We were discussing about the turbine blades having directionally solidified crystalline structures to have high temperature resilience. - Then we were discussing this not being enough. Therefore making the whole of the blade a single crystal to improve it’s heat resistance parameters. - Then...

@Sami1234 what is your views on below news? https://www.tacticalreport.com/news/article/59719-algeria-roketsan-and-atmaca-missiles I believe there was also a memorandum signed between Algeria and Turkey about defence cooperation. Algeria and Turkey relations go back a long time. There are over...

Check this map and see how small our economy is now. How much it has shrunk while how much everyone else has grown. Few years ago we were ahead of Iran, Netherlands, Poland, Taiwan, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia. Target 15 years ago was to reach 30000 dollars per person nominal by 2023. That would...

The site you have given is a forum. And the person making the so called calculations is admitting that he is guessing. Any missile that is not dual thrust or not dual pulse or not a missile with a throttleable ramjet engine, will never give you a definite long NEZ value. Many factors will effect...

Correct! To use your own satellites is the only way when it is defence matters that you are planning. We can’t depend on US or foreign based systems. But low orbit satellites can be susceptible to laser weapons and missile attack. China and Russia already working on laser and microwave weapons...

By using relay stations in high positions like Aselsan’s Karagöz and other high flying UAVs , you can overcome the couple of second signal latency problem. https://www.aselsan.com.tr/Aerostat_Surveillance_System_Product_Family_4188.pdf

A stealthy MIUS with 6000lbf dry and 10000lbf military thrust that can fly 1.4mach and carry 1500kg of payload and has AI to complement it, is : 1. Very agile and capable in a dogfight as almost all manoeuvring is done at subsonic speeds, 2. Cheap enough to be expendable, 3. Has enough payload...

Yes. But, 120D (also known as 120C8) was developed from 120C7 by improving engine and seeker head and navigational parameters. Giving it a larger NEZ envelope. It also has a two way data link where 120C7 has a one way data link. http://www.fi-aeroweb.com/Defense/AMRAAM.html So potentially with...
