You can not have HP for a turbofan or turbojet. But you can have lbf or KN thrust. Like tj300. (Turbojet 300lbf thrust) Physics dictates that a turboshaft and Turboprop engine‘s output can be quantified in “shaft horsepower“. But a turbojet and turbofan engine’s output can only be quantified in...

It has a lot to do with airframe design. But; Taking TEI’s way of naming it’s products, TF6000 relates to an engine that has 6000lbf thrust. If that is dry thrust, then we are looking at an engine with 9-10000lbf thrust with afterburners. Czech Albatros L-39 has a 3800lbf AI-25 turbofan engine...

That is where imagination comes in to play! 😀

First part I can agree with you. We all have imaginations! Second part is a pedantic response. Designers of aircrafts have found that certain surface shapes will not send back signals back to the radar sending them. So what makes a shape, free from radar signals being returned? This is where we...

Is it me imagining or is that body shape looking like stealthier than TB2?

These pictures have been subjected to heavy photoshopping. The Satcom bulb on the top body has been masked. The blacked out areas may have contained something that they want away from prying eyes, at this stage. Check out the right wing. Blacked out area is not as solid as the one in right wing.

German scientists have developed one of the most reactive non-nuclear explosives known to man. It is called “aziroazide azide”. This is so active and unstable due to the 14 nitrogen atoms that are connected to each other and want to form expanding nitrogen gas, that even the slightest touch...

1kg of Semtex or 1kg of C4 or 1Kg of C2 or 1Kg of TNT , or 1kg of nitroglycerin ; They are all same weight. But differ a great deal in explosive power. There is also the penetration power of an explosive. Amount of shock wave they create; Amount of heat they create. Some draw the air out...

You may be correct from your own perspective. But from the article I have shared, what I understand is that US company has developed a ”more lethal” explosive for the “next generation” 2+ER version. It is NOT the same type of explosive used in previous Harpoons. It clearly compares this one to...

Standard Harpoon missile’s warhead was 221kg. New Harpoon Next Generation has a warhead of 140kg with much more destructive and lethal power than the standard one. Quote: Harpoon Next Generation boasts a host of new features to improve performance. It will have an increased range of 134nm, a...

This was discussed in detail in previous page. See #1926

Can you rephrase this please? Do you mean, the destructive effect of a warhead is not only governed by the explosive’s weight? If so I agree with you.

JSOW does not have an engine. But JSOW-ER does. It uses a Pratt & Whitney TJ-150 engine. Spear missile has a specially developed P&W TJ-150-3 engine. Safran initially was charging us for tr40 engines, close to 150K in US dollars. KTJ-3200 will be a lot cheaper. There is no turbojet engine with...

Main advantages that are expected by having a railgun are: 1. Long range 2. High Speed 3. Cheap rounds By decreasing your speed and range you are defeating the object of having a rail gun. Sahi-209 seems to be doing what you are suggesting. And it is not getting them anywhere! You might as well...

A lot of “waffle”! Alot of “will” , “shall”, “going to”. But nothing ventured nothing gained. If you do not push your limits you will not succeed in such new technologies. I have respect for these guys though. They were the original pioneers to try this tech in Turkey. And they are trying. But...

Exactly my point! No I don’t think it is off topic. This weapon predominantly is being developed for sea vessels in place of their main gun. There is a thread dedicated to Railgun as well though! When you compare the cabling and the ionised air in the form of a fireball between this and...

US is postponing the work on Rail-Gun project indefinitely, because: 1. Only 2 ships available (Zumwalt Destroyers) to provide enough power. 2. No new ships until 2028-2030 that can accommodate a Rail Gun. 3. High cost of maintenance and initial investment, for the maximum range attainable...

1. It is not cheap to produce a ship like this. We are not a cash rich country. 2. There are other ships that need to be finished before building a second one of these. 3 x I class frigates and 7 x TF2000 air defence destroyers need to be built urgently. Plus the Reis class Subs have to be...

If memory serves, Turkish Navy was the least affected by the Purge. Airforce was the worst hit.

http://www.savunmasanayiidergilik.com/tr/HaberDergilik/TCG-Ufuk-un-kabul-faaliyetlerinde-sona-gelindi TCG Ufuk, close to complete the acceptance trials and become part of the Turkish Navy. This ship is going to put Turkey in a different class when it comes to naval intelligence and naval power...
