F35’s engine is f135 produced by P&W. GE and RR produced f136 for the same plane . But was not chosen. P&W’s partner in Turkey is Kale.

Turkey’s defence ministry’s counterpart here is Lockheed Martin. They will be asked to pay up for the undelivered planes and the monies they have received. Also for non-fulfilling a contract they are liable for compensating us. That would however occur in a perfect world. But still as a...

Penguin missile is a 35km to 55km range solid rocket fuelled missile. But it is subsonic. As with all solid fuelled missiles there is a shelf life. TJ-300 will enable us to overcome that problem and will give us over 100km range. No brainer!

Without engine like f414 that bird will never be a light attack or CAS plane. F404 is good for shows and training. But not for a fighter jet. To increase the payload to that level you need a powerful engine and a structurally matching plane. As A C-Block Hurjet, they may have a very different...

Our TFX is a big bird. It is almost as big as an f22. If you watch the video below, around 39.00 mins onward , you will see that the small mock-up Temel Kotil is holding, has plenty of space under it’s belly. It is quite wide too. There is enough space for smart bombs and a2a missiles. He...

You are correct ! It is an old article . But this interview is new! In fact he gives dates about the TFX as well! Out of hangar in 2023. First flight 2025. Delivery in 2028.

https://www.c4defence.com/en/tfx-will-be-tested-with-f110-engine/ Tusas CEO Temel Kotil, has said that TFX will be tested with F110 engines. He has also insinuated that by the end of this year body of TFX will start to form shape , in the interview.

Is that why US navy and US airforce marine core use F18 Hornets, as well as Canadian Airforce , Finnish airforce, Swiss Airforce, Spanish airforce and Australian airforce, all of whom use f18’s in their Air Force ? With regards to Hal Tejas; If you check further, you will find that it is because...

Having read and heard so much about this I have to say it is too good to be true. The Navy was interested as well. But after a first trial roll out I read that the project was put on a back burner by Navy. Is it still alive?

Do these engines actually exist in real life or are they just projects in design format?

https://www.defenceturk.net/tubitak-sage-hava-odakli-fuzelerde-ekosistem-olusturuyor Tubitak-Sage is working on a family of air to air and ground to air missiles. Also according to Mr Gurcan Okumus, Sage Director, a Ramjet powered a2a missile is not too far away. A local Nasams and an ESSM-er...

According to veteran F16 pilots, especially block 30 and 40 planes with f110GE engines can super cruise in mid to high altitude in clean set up quite easily. That is if you take super cruise as speed of 1+ Mach without afterburners. US defence department has changed the definition of “super...

@boracetkin ’s wording is slightly wrong. But I understand what he means. A ball thrown out of a car travelling at 100m/second , with a speed of 100m/sec “relative to the car” , will have a cumulative speed of 200m/sec at zero time. However it will decelerate quicker than the ball released at...

For Turkish readers a simplified informative essay on air to air missiles. https://www.savunmasanayist.com/havadan-havaya-fuze-ve-turkiye/

It is not nice to read that “we are manufacturing under license”. But you have to start somewhere! BAE are partners at the moment. So the idea should be, to get as much as possible while you can. Also these sort of “under license” manufacturing processes keeps one foot in with the top technology...

If you check, you will find that Kale has been forming partnerships like TEI. First with P&W in Izmir to produce engine components of F35 in 2010. https://www.defenceturkey.com/en/content/kale-pratt-whitney-aircraft-engine-facility-opened-in-izmir-1640 Then TAEC with Rolls Royce in 2017 to...

Can you trust Kale to produce a turbofan version of that engine? It took them how many years to produce KTJ-3200? Still not in full service! Also KTJ-3200 is a throw-away engine. It’s inner parts won’t last if used as a UAV engine. We need TEI’s expertise for the UAV engine. You are correct...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/tubitak-bilgem-gozcu-radari/ Isn’t it a weird coincidence that we are producing radars that can identify crafts/objects in the air that have small RCA values, after we have received and tried the S400 system? These objects being Su57, F35, F22, J20, Okhotnik etc.

They could develop from this very core, a turbofan which would be more economical and give more thrust. Two of those engines could fly a high subsonic Jet UAV. After all the main object of the TJ-300 exercise was to test themselves to see how good an axial flow jet engine they could make, prior...

Short burn or long burn would not affect the top speed of a modern missile if designed correctly , especially if you are comparing two very different missiles. A missile may be designed to reach high speed quickly and burn quickly or it may be designed to go long. Hence burn longer. It is to do...
