Yes you are right. They should not have any. But some do. If you have not perfected the production technique, then you may get the stray grain boundaries in single crystals too. That is why the yield of even the best manufacturers vary between 85-95% . The point is to eradicate them all...

True. Smaller turbines rotate at higher speeds. Larger turbines rotate at lower speeds. But nevertheless, angular speed for larger engines is higher. For a typical turbofan engine ; When fan rotates at 3000rpm, low pressure turbine rotates at 12000rpm. But high pressure turbine could be rotating...

Source please?? tf6000 is supposed to be a 20KN (4500lbf ) thrust level engine. So it is small.

How do you know we can push those blades to higher temperatures? Have you got any solid scientific proof of that? Besides, you do not need to push “those” blades to higher temperatures. You need to push much larger blades to higher temperatures. Izdeliye 30 engine turbine entry air temperature...

Teber guidance kits can be fitted on to Mk81 and Mk82 standard bombs and turn them in to smart bombs that can hit moving targets with up...

If you are not going to use militarised TS1400 on t-629, where are you going to use it? It’s power profile coincides with the t-629’s requirements. TAI and SSB seem to be reluctant to develop it for t-129. Or at the least not ready to do so. That leaves the logical choice of t-629.

Of course. But if there is a will there is a way. But I think Trg300 is more suited to F16 at the moment and may be Hurjet when it becomes available. However with necessary modifications it could be just about managed by Akinci. One under belly with 2 trlg230 at the wings??

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/deniz-kuvvetleri-aksungur-iha-siparis/ Turkish navy has placed an order for Aksungur UAV. They have transferred some of their Anka orders to Aksungur. Let us hope others will follow.

Depending on weight of explosives and fuel , between 585-670kg. Israeli’s have strengthened the missile connection points of the missiles to the launchers and are using 4 of them per each f16. It is thought that the Israeli missile is the 585kg (with ~100kg explosive) version.

Trg300 has a Range of 90-120 km trg230 has a Range of 50-70 km So if trlg230 when air launched goes 150+ km; Pro-rata trlg300 should go 250+ km Israel already using trg300 equivalent as “rampage” missiles. And it is said to have “hundreds” of km of range. That would indicate at least 300+ km...

TF6000 is a small engine probably derived from the same core of ts1400. Therefore it is of the same diameter. Izdeliye 30 is 5-6 times larger in diameter. Russians did not need SDC for turboshaft engines. They were happy with lower life cycle of their DS turbines. It doesn’t just effect the...

The article that @Quasar has shared clearly states that we are still at the infancy stages of single crystal blade technology in Turkey. There is still a lot of distance for us to go before we can say we are proficient. Yes we have produced TS1400 with SCB technology. But this turboshaft engine...

Pardon ! But how do we know that our single crystal technology is at a level that can furnish AL41F1-izdeliye 30 engine’s turbine blades?

https://www.straturka.com/laser-guided-trlg-230-a-small-technical-step-a-giant-tactical-leap/ Written by a Greek author, this article explains in depth, what our TRLG artillery rockets are bringing to our army’s capabilities. How TRLG-230 and soon to be TRLG-300 are becoming killer missiles for...

We have ~ 65 units of T-129s already delivered to our forces. if memory serves, I think there is nearly another 20+ T-129s in the production line. Total order for these helicopters were just under 100 units. (59 + 40 options) So domestic order book is about to close. There are orders from...

If today the decision were taken to produce a militarised TS1400 engine, it wouldn’t be ready before 6 months. Then it needs to be tested, integrated and qualified to T-129 . That is two years minimum. Then it has to be tested again in the Himalaya mountains by Pakistan before a decision is made...

This is mega news if correct. Izdeliye 30 is the one with 40000lbf thrust level TVC engine that uses single crystal turbine blades if I remember correctly. But if the news is correct; Who is going to co-produce this engine? If it is going to be direct purchase, who will maintain the engines...

I am afraid you are a little bit. TAI is the company that will produce the T-629 if required. But it needs an order from SSB (Under Secretariat of Defence Presidency) to go ahead. Then TAI will ask TEI to manufacture a number of “militarised“ TS-1400 prototype engines. TEI, at the end of the...

Akinci has three versions of power. 2 x 750 HP 2 x 450 HP 2 x 170 HP Of these three, do we know which ones are being delivered? What the breakdown of engine is of the 6 planes?

For moving targets it is a good option. But laser seeker needs a separate laser targeting and in cloudy weather may have problems when operating above clouds. Another seeker head like RF, GPS, IIR may give longer ranges and would not have the drawbacks of laser seeker heads. As well as laser...
