It is not very healthy to calculate distance according to booster burn times. Especially not healthy comparing different missiles altogether. There are many factors that govern how far the missile can go. 1. the mixture used in the same booster can be different for different missiles. 2...

https://idrw.org/astra-mk1-demonstrated-long-range-against-low-rcs-target/ Banshee target drone has a 0.5m2 -1.5m2 radar cross section according to the format it is used as. So at around 100km a target that has RCS that is similar or less than a Rafale can be shot.

That is a missile with small enough silhouette to fit in to MIDAS national VLS in quad pack. Well done to all those who had a hand in it.

All forming the part of a complete “Turbofan Eco System”. Great news!

Iam afraid, people that know what they are talking about, don’t. “BLISK” means a SINGLE PART that consist of blades and the rotor that normally house them all produced as a single unit. Turbines, if using blades that are Directionally Solidified or Single Crystal are not manufactured as blisk...

Some modern engines have blisk construction in their compressor fans. A blisk is in an aeroengine component that consists of a rotor disk and multiple blades in a single unitary part. The f110GE132 (aka F110GE129EFE) has blisk fan blades. TEI is capable of producing these. TEI MD Dr. Aksit has...

Thanks @Nilgiri ! I have copied the original post here and deleted most controversial points and left all parts pertaining to the relevance of the thread for the Turkish members to read and comment on after taking @Afif ’s views.

The answer seems to lie in your post. 2 different concepts! “Concept“ being the operative word, can we say that there is : 1. A high subsonic MIUS 2. A supersonic MIUS. They need two different approaches and two different concepts. Their engines will be different. Their operational needs will...

Actually China seems to need any engine tech. They were very eager to buy Motor Sich, in spite of the dated tech they used. There isn’t much known about their WS10 that powers the J20. But initial batches needed to go through engine changes after only 500hours’ flight. Later they reported that...

Ivchenko Progress can not manufacture. They are like TR Motor. A design Bureau. Baykar signed that to manufacture under Black Sea Shield JV. Just check out below engines that Motor Sich produces: First one is AI-222 The other three are AI-25 derivatives varying from 3100lbf to 4000lbf that Motor...

@Nilgiri , @Afif I thought this was: Turkish Foreign Policy & Geopolitics Why don’t you open a new thread, then carry all this to that thread and carry on there?

The only place that uses the AI-25TLT connotation is Wikipedia. (We all know how dependable Wikipedia is!) . That is supposed to be a joint venture manufactured engine of ”Black Sea Shield” between Ukraine and Baykar. We don’t even know if such an engine exists. What we can see in the pictures...

I don’t know where you have got those thrust figures. But according to below news pieces MIUS will use AI-322F engine. This engine has a dry thrust of 2500kgf = 5511lbf. Afterburner thrust is 4500kgf = 9920lbf These are very similar thrust values to TF6000...

I hate these abbreviations. They mean so many different things. Predominantly VLO in aviation is the maximum Velocity for Landing-gear Operation. But I suppose you meant Very Low Observable?😇

With all due respect to what you have written here, how do you know that electric generation, noise issue, IR signature and sound performance of the F110 engine won’t be any problem? Do you have concrete figures that support your suppositions to share with us? If what you suppose were the case...

Just a few reasons are: 1. They don’t have enough power to sustain a 5th generation plane’s power requirements (Aesa Radar, avionics and energy weapons like microwave/ laser weapons etc) 2. They are noisy. Stealth planes’ noise levels should be low 3. IR signature too high. Optimisation of...

https://m5dergi.com/savunma-haberleri/mmuda-kullanilacak-f110-motorlarinin-turkiyede-uretilmesi-icin-calismalar-suruyor/ Engines that will power the initial batch of the TFX are probably going to be produced in Eskisehir by TEI. Mahmut Aksit has stated that they are working on a model of...

As of February 2022 TEI had delivered 50 T700-TEI-701D engines to TAI. If TEI carried on production at their planned 1 engine per week rate, there could be another 20 engines in stock now. The production quantities may have dwindled. But there are all those engines that need helicopters. These...
