    If you are not going to use militarised TS1400 on t-629, where are you going to use it? It’s power profile coincides with the t-629’s requirements. TAI and SSB seem to be reluctant to develop it for t-129. Or at the least not ready to do so. That leaves the logical choice of t-629.

    Of course. But if there is a will there is a way. But I think Trg300 is more suited to F16 at the moment and may be Hurjet when it becomes available. However with necessary modifications it could be just about managed by Akinci. One under belly with 2 trlg230 at the wings??

    Depending on weight of explosives and fuel , between 585-670kg. Israeli’s have strengthened the missile connection points of the missiles to the launchers and are using 4 of them per each f16. It is thought that the Israeli missile is the 585kg (with ~100kg explosive) version.

    Trg300 has a Range of 90-120 km trg230 has a Range of 50-70 km So if trlg230 when air launched goes 150+ km; Pro-rata trlg300 should go 250+ km Israel already using trg300 equivalent as “rampage” missiles. And it is said to have “hundreds” of km of range. That would indicate at least 300+ km...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    TF6000 is a small engine probably derived from the same core of ts1400. Therefore it is of the same diameter. Izdeliye 30 is 5-6 times larger in diameter. Russians did not need SDC for turboshaft engines. They were happy with lower life cycle of their DS turbines. It doesn’t just effect the...

    The article that @Quasar has shared clearly states that we are still at the infancy stages of single crystal blade technology in Turkey. There is still a lot of distance for us to go before we can say we are proficient. Yes we have produced TS1400 with SCB technology. But this turboshaft engine...

    Pardon ! But how do we know that our single crystal technology is at a level that can furnish AL41F1-izdeliye 30 engine’s turbine blades?

    We have ~ 65 units of T-129s already delivered to our forces. if memory serves, I think there is nearly another 20+ T-129s in the production line. Total order for these helicopters were just under 100 units. (59 + 40 options) So domestic order book is about to close. There are orders from...

    If today the decision were taken to produce a militarised TS1400 engine, it wouldn’t be ready before 6 months. Then it needs to be tested, integrated and qualified to T-129 . That is two years minimum. Then it has to be tested again in the Himalaya mountains by Pakistan before a decision is made...

    This is mega news if correct. Izdeliye 30 is the one with 40000lbf thrust level TVC engine that uses single crystal turbine blades if I remember correctly. But if the news is correct; Who is going to co-produce this engine? If it is going to be direct purchase, who will maintain the engines...

    I am afraid you are a little bit. TAI is the company that will produce the T-629 if required. But it needs an order from SSB (Under Secretariat of Defence Presidency) to go ahead. Then TAI will ask TEI to manufacture a number of “militarised“ TS-1400 prototype engines. TEI, at the end of the...

    For moving targets it is a good option. But laser seeker needs a separate laser targeting and in cloudy weather may have problems when operating above clouds. Another seeker head like RF, GPS, IIR may give longer ranges and would not have the drawbacks of laser seeker heads. As well as laser...

    During IDEF-2021, Prof Aksit clearly stated that “our government has not asked TEI, to militarise the TS1400 engine. If asked TEI is ready to do so.” So unless two militarised TS1400 is in hand, I wouldn’t hold my breath for a T-629 soon. Apart from Tusas using CTS-800 engines again for the...

    That is not entirely true! 5 Reis class 214 submarines were all being produced more or less together. First one is now in the sea, waiting to be delivered following latest tests. The 6th one is being put on production line, end of this year. After F-515, I-Class’s first ship, the remaining 3...

    True, making a plane is a different cattle of fish. But Tusas has plenty of experience in making a fighter plane. They have produced hundreds of f16 planes to date for TurAF and Egypt. That is why they are confident in making Hurjet on their own. They have part manufactured Airbus A400. Your...
