M May I ask what you are going to do with 2 x TF10000 engines with afterburners on a flying wing? I guess you know that no one in the world uses afterburner engines with flying wings? Apart from augmenting take off power (which is silly for a flying wing due to it’s high lift design) an...

Read the first paragraph again in it's entirety please. There is no mention in my article about tf6000 or ts1400. Nevertheless A 3rd generation single crystal will have the same parameters and specifications wherever it is being used. F119 engine when first flying serial production f22s were...

It is Dr Aksit who mentioned it. He said we could produce an engine like f119 that powers f22 at TEI. He stated that TFX will need an engine that will develop a thrust level of 35000lbf with afterburners. F119 has a wet thrust of 35000lbf and a dry thrust of 26000lbf.

With a TF35000 it will. Unofficially F22 has been recorded to achieve 1.8 Mach supercruise speeds with it’s (35000lbf wet) 26000lbf dry thrust F119 engine.

35000lbf thrust is achieved with afterburners. Dry thrust(without afterburners) should be around 26000lbf if it is synonymous to a F119 engine. Supercruise is 1+ Mach speed without afterburners. But US defines it as 1.5 Mach without afterburners. To achieve this our plane will need engines not...

Do you want to learn how to produce a Lada when you are geared up to produce and being taught how to produce a Mercedes S class ? Our only deficiency is the lack of an eco system to produce a complete jet engine. You need a long line of manufacturers/subcontractors that can produce every bit of...

Ukraine’s engine technology is so antiquated that I doubt they will be of any use to TEI. They are still using turbine blades cast with directionally solidified blade tech. TEI is however able to produce 3rd generation single crystal blades which are of the same quality as those used in F119...

With latest engine configurations regarding application of “Blisk Fan” and additive manufacturing technologies, the turbine entry air temperatures have been greatly lowered to facilitate use of more efficient engine parts. Hence to obtain high thrust levels you don’t need to have such...

He reminds me of “Scotty” from the original Star Trek series. Captain Kirk used to ask, how long before warp power availability. He would say 12 hours. Kirk used to say get it ready in 2 hours. And he used to do it in two. Prof Aksit quotes 14-17 years for an engine first flight. He is asked to...

There seems to be two types of arrowhead ships; arrowhead-120 and arrowhead-140 First one a 4000ton and the latter a 5700ton frigate. They are both classed as light frigates. First one a 120m long ship while the latter is 140m long. Very capable platforms. The longer one is also classed as...

It is stated in the specifications of the helicopter that the pilot cabin and most of the cockpit is protected against 12.7mm rounds. This was a disturbing deficiency of the Atak-129 and had to be addressed. Another important point is the inclusion of a milimetric radar. Meteksan had made the...

As TEI is producing LHTEC800 engine under license, they are very familiar with this engine. When TEI was asked to produce a similar power level indigenous engine, it was only logical to “almost copy” the engine they were familiar with. So they designed an engine that had a radial flow compressor...

As part of English being the language of the forum, we would like to ask all forum members to make sure that every foreign language tweet is duly translated in to English before being posted. This will allow all members to understand what the tweet is all about irrespective of what their mother...

Boeing’s X45 is a good example of what needs to be done about developing a stealth flying wing UCAV/Bomber with a view to improving payload and performance. X45A is powered by a 6200lbf thrust non afterburner Honeywell F124 turbofan engine. To achieve high payload and better performance they...

TF6000 will yield a turbo shaft that will power a plane like an Osprey, that will output 6-7000HP per engine. (please see ~7000lbf RR3007 engine from which 6000lbf T406 engine is produced) The proposed TS3000 turbo shaft, delivering 3000HP could be a derivative of the Blackhawk engine...

TCG Anadolu should never have been built. We are not a rich nation to splash cash at such extravagant platforms. We do not have cash rich big brothers like Egypt has. Bayraktar/Sancaktar class LSTs would have sufficed for our needs. At less than half the price of an LHD like Anadolu and much...

If it is AI-25 it is a medium bypass turbofan engine with a bypass ratio of 2.0:1 Bayraktar MIUS (KE) uses the same engine; AI25-TLT if I am not mistaken. AI-322 is a lower bypass turbofan with a bypass ratio of 1.19:1. Both engines with slightly higher bypass ratios than most low bypass...

Happy 23 April to all. National Sovereignty and Children’s Day. 103 years ago Türkiye became free and a new democratic state was formed. First Grand National Assembly of modern Türkiye was opened.
