I have no doubt about Tusas making the plane to the specs given without a problem. Especially with the twin F110 engines as a 4++ generation fighter. But when it comes to the 35000lbf class engines that TR Motor was designing, it seemingly has a somewhat larger diameter than the aircraft can...

@merzifonlu has made a very important point regarding what Prof Aksit was talking about until he was rudely and stupidly interrupted by the interviewer. Yes, he says that they can produce an indigenous 35000lbf thrust class turbofan engine. But the engine that was designed to give this amount...

English explanation please.

An article written some 6 years ago about the Koral development is making some interesting claims. According to this article, Turkey, in around 2012-13 bought a S300 system from Belarus (sans missiles) and investigated the innards of the system and came up with the Koral to counteract the S300...

One thing that eludes some, about USA is that; in spite of their technological superiority and their economical prowess, they are governed by profit and loss. Those companies are giant private companies with a lot of pull in Congress and state departments. They have to present a healthy bottom...

Last statement says; The plane can be operational from TCG Anadolu too. That is a very bold one to make as statements go!

Good question! Unfortunately our officials have a tendency to word their statements in a way that pleases common man on the street. Hence everything is better than it’s contemporary alternatives. It would be more understandable and logical if they stated why and how they are going to be better...

If you go back to page 127 and my post #2530 in this thread you will see detailed info about both solid fuel and liquid fuel ramjets.

For an air to air missile that will be direct competition to the Meteor, it is imperative that throttleability is achieved. It is a very complex method with which throttle capability is given to solid rocket fueled ramjets. (I had discussed this in previous pages). Most probably the solid...

If you read the savunmasanayist’s article shared in my post, it states that Gökhan will have a liquid fuelled ramjet engine. We had discussed this before. And concluded that it has to be similar to Brahmos missile’s fuel; which is stated as liquid. But it is actually a gel based liquid fuel. Gel...

We all have been reading and discussing about Gökhan ramjet a2a missile having a liquid fuelled ramjet engine. But the Akbaba anti radiation missile is going to have a solid fuelled ramjet propulsion engine. Our current AGM-88 HARM missiles are near 2 Mach speed and around 100km range...

There are certain projects that are beyond politics; TFX , Ozgur, Milden, Milgem, National AD projects Hisar and Siper Are just a few that no political entity will have the power to hinder or stop. Short of signing their political suicide or being framed as traitors, I can not see these or...

Are you sure? My understating is, they are both talking about indigenously manufactured engines for stealth planes. There is no mention of RR. We don’t even have an agreement with RR to include them in any future projects.

Mahmut Akşit is the guy who has his in hands the capability to produce the MMU engine. Mr Dur is in charge of a design bureau. One gives a 6 year timeline. The other one, 12-13 years. Now who do we believe? When you talk about the indigenous MMU engine it is the stealth engine everyone...

Dear members! This is Ukraine-Russia War thread. Please stay on topic. If you insist on publishing non topic posts, you may end up with warnings and even bans. All non topic posts have been erased.

This is the news he gave us all. But there is more important information lying there between the lines. Current Atak-T129 CT-800 engine develops 1298HP continuous power. Our TS-1400 engine has a continuous power output of 1400HP. CT-800 develops 1375HP at take off. But TS-1400 develops 1475HP at...

To me it looks more like African customers being trained on the use and fitting of arms aspect on the TB2!

This is reality. Professor Aksit states: We are now in a position and readiness to produce the engine of MMU. We can manufacture it in 12-13 years. This is the guy who knows what he is talking about. It is not easy to produce a 35000lbf class turbofan engine that will meet the stringent demands...

Most of what you write is correct. But it is not the whole story. For operations within or close proximity to our borders what you propose is doable. But operating the drones in another country’s air space is another kettle of fish. We mustn’t deceive ourselves; We need to get our facts right...

Nothing in Turkish Army’s current inventory can replace F4s. In fact the only aircraft that can replace and do justice to f4, is F15. US airforce replaced the F4 with two more modern aircrafts; F15 and F16 for air operations, and with F14 Tomcat in the navy. That alone shows what a versatile...
