    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    True! My mistake! I should have clarified that it is the turbine fan diameter. As can be seen fan is in the left. Turbine fans at the far right. And much smaller.

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    Less than 50% yield is very low. That means we need to go a long way before we reach 85%+ levels. These blades, especially the larger ones take along time to manufacture. In order to join the top league of single crystal manufacturers club we need to hit 90% at least. It is also important to be...

    What you have written in Turkish sounds feasible and logical. But if it is your own opinion it is still void of source material. Or is this what you were told by TEI? You of all people should be most aware that what makes forums like this and it’s writers believable are the source materials they...

    Yes you are right. They should not have any. But some do. If you have not perfected the production technique, then you may get the stray grain boundaries in single crystals too. That is why the yield of even the best manufacturers vary between 85-95% . The point is to eradicate them all...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    True. Smaller turbines rotate at higher speeds. Larger turbines rotate at lower speeds. But nevertheless, angular speed for larger engines is higher. For a typical turbofan engine ; When fan rotates at 3000rpm, low pressure turbine rotates at 12000rpm. But high pressure turbine could be rotating...

    Source please?? tf6000 is supposed to be a 20KN (4500lbf ) thrust level engine. So it is small.

    How do you know we can push those blades to higher temperatures? Have you got any solid scientific proof of that? Besides, you do not need to push “those” blades to higher temperatures. You need to push much larger blades to higher temperatures. Izdeliye 30 engine turbine entry air temperature...

    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...

    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...

    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...
