    TR Cultural Tengrism and Ancient Turkic mythology/symbols

    Apparently, Tengrism teaches to be nice and correct to each other. It tells you that ”Tengri” is all powerful and is the sky and universe itself. It loves all that is in it including us as they are all part of the “Tengri” . “Tengri” is not considered a deity but the personification of the...

    Can this be a prologue to reopening negotiations about f35 deliveries, from the US side? Or is LM saying ; “sort out your state to state differences and take delivery of the planes I have produced for you.“ On another note; Hadn‘t US government instructed LM to prepare these planes to be...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    As per @Quasar ’s explanation, the Low Energy airflow is prevented from entering the intake by spacing the intake from fuselage. It also makes it easier to control supersonic shockwaves generated at intake that may interfere with engine operations. All supersonic jets have some form of this...

    TR Propulsion Systems

    A turbojet engine is most efficient in higher altitudes where air is rarified. All the air sucked in through the fans in to the compression section, after helping burn the fuel in combustion chamber, is exhausted from the nozzle creating jet thrust. 100% of the thrust is generated by the air...

    If you read the shared news-piece carefully, it says that KSA will invest 3.3 Trillion dollars within their national strategic investment plan. Within the scope of this plan, there will be joint ventures with Turkey in certain areas. It doesn’t say there will be 3.3 trillion dollar invested in...

    All of the above. I know of 2 guys who went to US who were KOC University graduates. They were offered starting salaries ranging from 8000TL to 18000TL in Turkey for jobs in IT. Their starting salaries in US were 3000 to 3500dollars. Now they are on 7000 to 10000dollars a month after 2 years...

    TR Missile & Smart Munition Programs

    When you have a limited number of torpedo tubes ( 8 to be precise - 4 of them harpoon/atmaca capable) and very limited spares due to restricted space, you really need to have weapons with a lot of clout. Although TRG-300 is a very capable weapon in it’s own right, it is no match when compared to...

    What you “think” and the reality quite often do not match. Below is the picture of an Abrams tank that took a direct hit of an HE 155mm shell. It is totally destroyed. I can’t find the picture of the Abrams that had turned upside down. But if a 155mm HE shell explodes nearby, believe me, the...

    If you watch the clip again you will see that the missile doesn’t contain explosives. The dust cloud is through it’s kinetic energy at impact. I remember watching a 155mm HE shell exploding next to an Iraqi M1Abrams MBT. The whole tank was thrown upside down. 155mm shell contains 6.6 kg...

    Anyone who has a serious criminal record as described in Turkish criminal code is automatically exempted from being a civil servant and hence politics. People who who have organic connection with PKK and don’t denounce terrorist organisations should really, automatically be exempted from being...

    Luckily I wasn‘t. But I misssed it by less than 20 minutes on M62 few years back when I was driving back to London. Behind me , motorists were stranded for over 24 hours on the motorway. Emergency services supplied fuel and hot beverages to the stranded motorists. It does happen there almost...

    Electric cars may be the wrong route to take when you look at the underlying potential problems they have. Main reason we want to go non-fossil fuel route is to save the planet and get a zero carbon footprint. But the electricity used in fully electric cars are predominantly produced by power...

    Believe me they are attached and controlled. Zoom a little you will notice that they are. Roketsan's engineering capability is so good that you can't tell the canard are attached.

    TR Missile & Smart Munition Programs

    The canard control missiles of this ilk have “free-to-rotate” tail fins. They do not have actuators. If you watch carefully in slow mo, the tail fin rotates freely. Due to the tilted aerodynamic construction of the tail fins the induced tail fin rolling moment opposes the direct canard control...

    Back end is not fixed. The fins at the back are tilted and rotate to stabilise flight. Canard controlled rockets may need rotating tail fins for flight stabilisation. Canard-controlled missiles are commonly used by designers. These missiles have, induced roll problem generated by the canard tip...
