That was quick, congratulations to the company.
But we haven't even seen a flight demonstration first. Anyway, it is even better having made early sales.
It would be fantastic if the TF6000 does well right off the bat, but it does not matter if it does not; we will make it perfect a little later than sooner.
TS1400 had gone through 8 rebuilding iterations AFAIK, that's why the TF6000 being the first prototype has many more iterations to go through. However, with experience gained from previous design work, the steps may be progressed somewhat faster.
I think the Fırtına engines can be ready earlier, there is no official date I know of for the engine, but it has been at advanced stages already. So there must be a point why BMC is in the tender. Besides that, perhaps a hybrid solution can be offered too.
Türkiye has enough power to distribute rather than concentrate. It is not that we can not afford in any way. You need to seize the opportunities. Every step must be taken at the most opportune time, and that time is today.
Türkiye should foster innovation and build capabilities even faster now. We should get past making traditional systems and start pushing the envelope. It could help if we had some hydrocarbons to fuel our building strenght.
"At this level of technic, at this level of technic, at this level of technic..."
All that high-tech and this mess, hard to understand.
Good thing it does not happen in Türkiye.
Electric propulsion limits endurance/payload to 1/14th of combustion power. So designs using fossil fuels must be encouraged. There are several smaller domestic engines counting down to emerge, then the design-space should explode.
Atak is a partnership with Italy and does not actually count for a true Turkish product, so T629 is destined to come true so that we can make and sell as many as we want.
