    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    Targeted autonomous qualities of the aircraft are so advanced that a pilot is optional. But you know, you have to pass these test phases. lol I believe that KAAN will be the steel wings protecting our common geography from the Mediterranean Sea to the Malay hinterland, and we will see that she...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    Considering the thrust power of the aircraft, it may take off from a short distance with half load full thrust. But I think this is not the main challenge, this is probably the least challenging part for engineers. There's the hangaring of the aircraft, the sea conditions, the safe operation...

    TAAC landing gears Trivia: If I am not wrong, KAAN means ear in Indian (Kağan, meaning king of kings, is used as Khan in South Asia). Given the huge radome on the front of the aircraft and the different compartments reserved for the various radar systems, the Hindi meaning in a way defines the...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    The first photo is one of the posters used by the Turkish Armed Forces Foundation in old times. The one on the right shows what happens when these seeds grow and flourish. *The poster says "build your own aircraft" under a drawing of an fighter jet. Probably a reference to the embargoes of the 70s.

    It has become a TAI classic to allow amateur footage to circulate first. We will probably waiting for hours the official release, just like other maiden flights.

    I looked at this photo and cried a little bit. So many things went through my mind, so many things I had planned to write when the first flight took place. But I know that we all already have the same feelings in our hearts, the same pride, the same mood of feeling that we have overcome our...

    Is there any study started in Korea on magnetic catapult systems? The French will use EMALS in the new type of aircraft carrier they are designing, but I think GA got that tender, so it is outsourced to the US.

    Okay, I won't insist. :) Sulh (Peace) and (Mavi)Vatan (Blue Homeland) are the ones I like the most among the ones shared so far. Although their word origins are foreign, they have been common words in our spoken language for millennia.

    What I actually mean is that it should be an air base capable of hangaring around/over 3 squadrons of fighter jets, providing ground services, ensuring their uninterrupted maintenance, and managing safe flight operations, if we measure it according to air force norms. On top of that, for the...

    If we continue to evaluate the issue in terms of naval structuring rather than in the context of AC's nomenclature, Trakya LHD will likely be a platform that looks like the one below: And again, we will probably see a retrofit planning that will include some changes to the LHD Anadolu flight...

    Anyway, I didn't think my suggestion about the name would come to this point. lol. For me, seeing that 65.000-ton Turkish Republic Navy flagship in the water and experiencing that beauty with the eyes of the world is one of my biggest dreams. I also feel obliged to clarify something, even if it...

    So in a possible war, you seem to have immediately discarded the aircraft carrier. Maybe we will win that war with the aircraft carrier that destroyed the traditional combatant organization of the enemy, don't be so sure that we can't protect it. Even if its name is Zafer (Victory), even if its...

    We have seen navy ships named carried the title of Ottoman sultans, but is there a special reason why they are not named after our national heroes of the Republican era? Atatürk is more than a national hero, he is the eternal leader of our nation, the founder of the republic and our first...

    It should also be noted that Trakya and AC are not the same ships. In other words, in the mid-2030s, not 2 but 3 carriers with open decks for fixed wing air platforms will be in the navy inventory. An armada with these 3 ships at its center can carry roughly around 80, maybe over 100 fixed wing...
