A lot of emphasis is being given to the so called ”stealthy engine”. Do we really know what a stealthy engine entails? Yes! The IR signature has to be low. Also the sound levels have to be low. For a fighter jet; The engine has to have enough thrust to achieve high supercruise Engine size and...

If those question marks is about Cafrad; It is our domestically produced complete radar systems. You may read more about it here: https://www.defenceturkey.com/en/content/stunning-information-about-cafrad-and-advent-systems-shared-at-9th-naval-systems-seminar-3740 So, as we have a complete...

According to Mr Kotil, March 2023! Like many others. https://www.edrmagazine.eu/turkish-aerospace-industries-atak-2-heads-towards-2023-maiden-flight

Yes. Accordng to what Mr Kotil says, first 12 prototypes are going to be flying with F110 engines ( Not quite F16 engines, but Same engines set up for twin engine mode). These you may call non-stealth. The last 2 prototype planes will have indigenous turbofans with more power and hopefully...

If you read @Anmdt ’s previous posts, there should be a mention of Atak-2 being navalised. In fact if memory serves, the navalised Atak-2 will be the first Atak-2 our forces are to have. Proof of the pudding is in the eating; Even US has chosen an armed Blackhawk to cover some of the duties of a...

If there is going to be a navalised version of Gokbey, it will be ideal for specific missions in the naval vessels as per @Anmdt ‘s post. But this helicopter will be close to half the cost of a fully fledged T-129 Atak helicopter as a lightly militarised version. For countries that can’t afford...

Please watch what you are posting. Sectarian and religious hatred can not be quoted here. It is against forum rules as well as it is being totally off topic.

If it is true as your source says that the development of 3000HP indigenous engine is dead in the water for the time being, and Mr Kotil is talking about a 3000HP engine replacing the Ukrainian ones in later stages, there are a few options like, local production under license like the...

3000HP engine for Atak -2 was never dead. Once you start building 2000hp level turbo shaft engines, it is quite feasible to develop from it a more powerful engine. If you read the article below of Mr I Sunnetci, he makes a valid point about the T700-TEI701D engine Redevelopment. The 700 series...

Some of the bullet points of the Turkish interview concerning TFX are: 1. There will be 14 prototypes of TFX 2. 12 of these will have f110 engines 3. 2 of them will have indigenous engines 4. These could be built by TEI/TR Motor or “others” . SSB to decide 5. All prototypes will have been...

I wish they showed it as a complete single video so that we could calculate range. With excerpts of firing it is not possible to see how long the missile actually is in the air for. But probably hit the target in excess of 5km. Any ideas?? They will be the nightmare of helicopters and low...

Electromagnetic gun or rail gun as is also called, is inherently a ground breaking piece of technology that will be the cheapest and most effective way to intercept missiles or hit targets hundreds of kilometres away. It may even be used to hit targets outside of atmosphere at only a small...

According to this news Algiers have purchased TB2 drones from Turkey. Also in the meantime, the Algerian Bayraktar Crew had been taking training for quite sometime. There is a fine line about keeping a good balance between Morocco and Algiers in these sales.

1. Great your TEI engineer has explained exactly what I have been saying. I agree with everything he has said. 2. you can’t tell me to shut up. This is a forum. I am free to express my views; Especially if I have to correct wrongs. 3. This is not a pissing contest. True! But you are trying your...

Valid idea. But like every other country we need good healthy competition in this area too. Kale has two joint ventures. With P&W and with RR. TEI, although produce parts for CFM and P&W, has a partnership agreement with GE. But due to their much more advanced know how base and wider...

What I don’t understand is, this guy is crying out and saying he can manufacture a 35000lbf thrust level turbofan engine that can power TFX with super cruise and infrared suppression. In short a stealth engine. Why no one is not taking him at his word and giving him the job? He has already...

https://tolgaozbek.com/haberler/cavusoglundan-f-16-cevabi-evet-dememiz-mumkun-degil/ Turkish FM has said that the decision on the sale of 40f16V70 planes and 80 upgtade kits being tied to Greek Airspace violation conditions is totally unacceptable. He has said that it is not possible to say yes...

You are trying to distort what I am actually saying to create an argumentative case. If you are an engineer you will undrestand what I mean. If the bottom and top limit is between 1400K and 1800K, then usually the mean temperature is where the engine works at optimum conditions. When you are an...

First of al you need to learn to be polite when you post. Offensive language has no place in our forum. For that I am afraid you have earned yourself a warning. Secondly you need to listen to Dr Aksit’s words carefully. He doesn’t say anything contrary to what I have been saying. He clearly says...

There is no name calling in my post. I am warning you to write within scientific parameters. There is no scientific basis in what you are saying. In fact what you are saying is looking silly! If you can’t take criticism then tough! You will have to learn. You can not tell any one to go away...
