https://www.savunmasanayist.com/bmc-yetkilileri-altay-tanki-2023te-teslim-edilecek/ Altay tank, in a new format is being readied to be delivered in 2023 for the first two samples of a batch of 100 tanks. Upon receipt of a go ahead from TSK after the necessary tests the remaining 98 units will...

These class of stand alone drones can be available to any one. Even civilians. What makes ours so deadly is it’s software that has stuff like face recognition, target acquisition, flight and fire control algorithms, etc.

As per my post in other thread; ”When afterburner kicks in, a 50% increase of sudden ”pulse” of thrust is exerted on all engine parts and engine to plane connections. A complete new engine has to be built to withstand to this force to stop it from crushing in to itself. Hence a different engine...

When afterburner kicks in, a 50% increase of sudden ”pulse” of thrust is exerted on all engine parts and engine to plane connections. A complete new engine has to be built to withstand to this force to stop it from crushing in to itself. Hence a different engine nomenclature. Just like Honeywell...

Commissioning, delivery, acceptance. You know these are semantics at the end of the day. If a platform is ready to be used as a fighting machine in my vocabulary that is delivered and commissioned to be ready for active service. All other stages are irrelevant from the point of view of...

Unfortunately that seems to be the situation. Within less than a month, two different statements. 9th November 2022, expected to be delivered before end of year. 6th December 2022, most likely delivery in mid 2023. There are 5 more subs to be delivered yet. I only hope they commission those...

Actually according to below message it is due to complete these tests before end of this year and be delivered officially to the Turkish Navy.

It is. as there should be one! I had rather they produced one in house than depending on supply from GE. We know that there is an indigenous Hurjet Engine design in TEI computers. But not a priority at the moment as mentioned by I Demir.

Most important ongoing projects we have at the moment are based on; Will, Shall, Going to. They all relate to engines. We need engines for our tanks and armoured vehicles. We need engines for our TFX, Hurjet, KE and TISU We need engines for our Sea vessels - both Diesel and Gas turbines We are...

Mahmut Aksit on a recent interview, said that we now have produced the raw metal alloys that are needed in the production of single crystal blades. @Javaid ’s post Dr Aksit makes a point of it. Most vital ones are now produced in house.

When F16s were first introduced they were dropping like flies. Their accidents and problems have been a lot better during the last couple of decades though. To date their average has been 13 planes per year. There are 4500 of them in service. And this amount of yearly loss is considered normal...

Please watch this video. Then you will understand what @TheInsider is telling.

I think in order to keep negotiation doors open and also to be able to recoupe some of the 1.4 billion dollars we paid for the F35s we never received, we are keeping the F16V70 project alive. Also we need to make up the numbers missing and/or will be missing in our f16 fleet for the interim...

All engine and propulsion related posts have been moved to propulsion thread. Please carry on discussions there. Lets leave this tread for TFX and trainer aircrafts.

One should not compare Chinese engines with western engines. WS10, a few years ago couldn’t last more than 500 hours. With recent improvements they managed to improve the lifespan to, first, 800 hours; Then to 1500hours. But they are starting the race with a deficit as their engine tech is based...

TVC was not specifically mentioned during Dr Aksit’s speech. But he did say that , today at TEI, they can manufacture a 35000lbf thrust engine like the one that powers f22. Now saying and doing are two different things. On paper he believes TEI can manufacture this engine. In other words...

Turkey will produce the so called 5th generation turbofan engine for the TFX sooner or later. Hopefully sooner rather than later. Being able to produce Single Crystal Turbine blades for a small diameter engine like TS1400 does not automatically mean that TEI will be able to produce Single...

There is a slight misunderstanding in the way it is translated I think. According to the article in Turkish, Dr Aksit is saying that the TF6000 can lend itself to various end uses; Such as if we made a turboshaft version, it could fly Atak-2 and if we turned it in to a marine turbine engine, it...

Not according to the video I have shared! Is what we have today as a prototype of TFX on the production line same as what we had been served up until then? Even this prototype may change a bit. Heck! We are using F110s in our prototype. Serial production will have a totally different engine. So...

It is a well known fact that, as Tempest’s power plant, a variable cycle turbofan engine option is being considered. https://www.edrmagazine.eu/rolls-royce-the-tempest There is no published technical data on Orpheus engine. Being a totally modular and scalable engine, it is produced as a...
