Why can I-class not use ESSM?

Yes TS stands for Turbo shaft, my mistake. I meant TJ1400 the core engine I don't know much about jet engines but Mahmut Aksit himself is telling that from the same TJ1400 core engine they can derive Turbojet, Turboshaft, Turbofan and Turboprop engines

I hope that TEI again announced safe numbers with TF6000 (6000LBF) As if I remember not wrong they mentioned before that with the TJ1400 an 11000LBF Turbofan and 1600hp Turboprop can be developed

F404 is something like 16.000 lbf, so if TF6000 is realy 6000 lbf it won't power the Hurjet but MIUS maybe.

TEI is usually using the naming for horse power, like TS1400 is a 1400 hp engine TF6000 could be a turbo fan engine of 6000hp

Something else TEI is developing the TF6000 Turbofan engine. Could this be for MIUS?

Sure, structural shape is where the most "stealth" comes from, but how to see such from a CGI picture is another story!

It is you imagining it! Stealth you can only measure by radar backscatter measurement in an anechoic chamber. Stealty looking shape says nothing

Those black areas are probably anti icing rubbers Pneumatic deicing boots that can deflate to break the ice off or passive (icephobic coating)

I could like the sahin if the range was not 700m, which is crap

I know, politics destroy a lot. Defense industry is pretty much the only industry in Turkey that is doing fairly well (automobile industry too to be fair), let us not destroy that one too. Our agricultural industry is a drama, little Netherlands produces more than Turkey. It's a blatant shame

Each system has it's own plus and minus. VTOL does not take a large space to take off and land but her payload is rather limited, sending a gun without ammo is also useless. So a good trade off solution has to be found, and if possible I think STOL type of drones like Baykar is proposing is...

Again some people try to impose their opinions as true ones. I myself cannot confirm or deny, I am electronics specialist not aerodynamic (Baykar is!) I can only express my hopes that Baykar can pull this off. If we only listen to nay sayers we will never be able to produce stuff like TFx...

People are quick to make "professional" opinions on a hastily drawn render. If the render was totally correct it would mean the TCG anadolu is sinking, the whole amphibious dock is drawn under water to begin with. The render is clearly to give the idea of deck landing and take off capability...

May I ask how you guys get the idea that landing is not possible? On what knowledge is this based? We have a Selcuk Bayraktar who is saying that it will be possible, and some forumers who say it is not possible. I do not dismiss any claim but we have a clear professional opinion vs your...

Everyone should and can voice his opinion. I myself join the opinion of other friends that Bayraktar knows what they are doing. You base your opinion on small wing area but you forget that this is a drone, not a regular fighter aircraft that has much more weight. Less weight needs less wing...

MTCR was just an excuse for the US not to sell certain missiles to "partner / ally" countries

I wonder where all the BMC supporters are.

Both are demonstrators, like all other projects around the world. Only the Chinese have advanced pretty decently. Once you have advanced the technology to a level you can start to make some useful designs.

There are 3 flying car prototypes there!
