Spot on! You’ve hit the nail on the head! +1

We can argue here about similarities forever. To you it is similar to f16 project. To me it is more akin to our t129 project. So let us agree to disagree.

You like contradicting everybody. You need to work on that. Also please read a bit carefully the fine nuances in the lines, before blurting out! Turkish F16 project, “when started“, was an “assembly-line” project. The whole F16 plane was US designed, built, used and sold to many countries. JF17...

The JF-17 fighter is basically a Chinese plane. Designed and produced with Pakistan. 58% of the JF-17 airframe, including its front fuselage, wings, and vertical stablizer, is produced in Pakistan. But the rest comes from China. Engine is Russian Klimov RD93. Aesa radar too is Chinese. The whole...

Expected to enter service in second half of 2020s. In other words, after 2025.

Aksungur is comparatively newer. But it was derived from Anka. In essence it is Anka with twin engines. This month it has gone over 1000 flight hours. A lot of customers who have placed Anka orders are in the process of converting all or some of their orders to Aksungur. As most subsystems are...

Aksungur also should be considered with it’s long endurance and range. It managed 60 hours nonstop flight in reconnaissance mode during fire fighting missions. It has around 6500 km range Depending on it’s load and altitude.

A prospective cruise missile travelling at 1.1 Mach at Sea Level and propelled by Idealab IL1600 turbojet. A new horizon for cheap supersonic cruise missile?

CAATSA is not operative on Turkish defence ministry’s purchases. Only applicable to SSB of Turkey. RAM and VLS were outright purchases. It had to go through senate etc. Under license production under the umbrella of “T700 navalised version” or whatever you want to call it can be done. It is...

First one OK. But Pakistan is not a rich country to be able to pay TOT for Anka. Others don’t mean as much when it comes to materialistic state of affairs between countries. On the surface I agree it sounds nice; brotherhood etc ; and they will pave the way to cooperation. But at the end of the...

I wonder what we have got in return??? Mind you. It is only a MOU. Nothing written in stone.

I don’t see any problems if Sikorsky decides to go along the same route as the T700 Blackhawk production being carried out at the moment. Tusas has ample experience and know how about helicopter building. TEI can manufacture the engines like they are doing for the T700. It would be a win-win...

I agree with you on the size of the plane. We should have gone for a twin engined but smaller plane. Especially as it was our first shot at a stealth jet. BAE suggested the same with 2 x EJ200 (23000lbf) class engines possibly with their TVC version. But our guys insisted on a larger platform...

You have a You have a very aggressive and argumentative approach to discussions. Please stop this. We are not here to prove a point. But to learn from each other and expand our knowledge of all things related to defence industry. You seem to be well versed on your knowledge of turbine engine...

This question was asked to Prof Aksit. His response was that TEI was asked to produce an engine that is suitable for Gokbey. As Gokbey won’t be doing excessively sharp turns and manoeuvring, ts1400 that is delivered now, will suffice. If a TS1400 for Atak-129 is requested they have to produce it...

As far as released info goes, MHI engine was classed as the top level in terms of attained temperature in 2011 by themselves and many others at the time. Since then information has been released about higher turbine temperatures which I have acknowledged. If the engine is not capable of...

I want to know too. But If I were to guess: TFX and Hurjet motor developments? MIUS tf6000 development? A turbofan engine for Gezgin? pg50 & Pg115 ? TF141 with Ukraine?

Maximum temperatures in a gas turbine are seen in the flame tube of the combustor and then at the turbine inlet. State-of-the- art is about 1800 K which is 1527 degrees Celsius. If you are working with 1500 degrees Class turbines you are at the top level. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries managed to...
