    TR UAV/UCAV Programs | Anka - series | Kızılelma | TB - series

    Kızılelma will be most useful when all of its features like stealth, speed, agility and loadout capacity are put into play at the same time. However it does not always need all of its strengths be put into play. When you can take out enemy air defenses with stand off munitions Kızılelma can...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    Apparently the TF6000 can be used on the Kızılelma if you are OK with subsonic speeds which is acceptable for a first time plane. This will still bring unprecedented capabilities that can patch some of the airforce's shortcomings before Kaan comes online. This engine will be useful for the...

    I hadn't seen this bird until yesterday in an old movie. It may not be competitive in this new world of twin engines with its double twin engines it gave an additional capability to its makers at the time. It is Vickers VC-10 first flown in 1962 and until 1981 taking after the Soviet Ilyushin...

    Who knows maybe China catches up or maybe Airbus grow bigger. Boeing losing deals left and right puts them in a tight spot. Delays of several years is pressure enough to make them compromise.

    Export prices are always higher, twice the local price is probably very cheap and it could probably sell for more. A price that is more attractive than a competing product's price is a good price also comparing quality of products.

    Once the several engines in development are made more plane variety will emerge. A catapult upgrade will also boost capabilities justifying more planes. A carrier has many decades of life it will be used to its maximum.

    Turns out that TB3 is using a 200hp engine moving up from the 170hp PD170 as their first engine. However as the hp goes up engine life becomes shorter.

    We only need to make sure we can have an early crop of engines that can satisfy basic requirements while they still fall behind the best quality foreign engines. Like an 80% quality engine will take us to where we need to be in the short term. Can we do this by 2028, I believe we can. We should...

    We have them because we need them. Somebody must be thinking of a way to stop Türkiye from developing the Kaan by freeing the US from sanctions burden and selling the F35 to Türkiye so that we don't push Kaan hard. Nobody is buying, the world will be a different place after Kaan.

    I counted 26 in the same picture, they are just cast engine blocks. Probably a component that is safe to make early in the process.

    Making chips in millions is a challenge but making them in thousands should be easier. There is talk about a 3nm chip factory to be setup in Türkiye by 2027 in cooperation with a Taiwanese company by the drone company Fly BVLOS Technology to make drone autopilot computers. They plan to make...
