What matters is how much useful load it carries. It is all about physics, there is no magic in this. It has to carry fuel for the duration, speed and the MTOW of the mission. It also needs to carry enough ammo and the right sensors for the mission. So the plane being able to take off or land...
Probably mostly engine issues. A single engine working too hard to power a plane is like a single parent supporting the family. Our TFX will have both parents active.
I am guessing it to be basic with no dogfight capability. It will be good enough if it can carry out predetermined actions and functions autonomously, functions that must be sustained if communications is cut. Like situational awareness, self preservation and perhaps targeting stationary targets.
Kızılelma is progressing well. There is less than a year to its production to begin. Once it reaches operational capacity which is likely to happen in two years time a new era will have opened up. We are not really certain what missions it will be taking over but it has the potential to...
Tolga Özbek is not bad but last time I saw him he missed the opportunity to learn about the upcoming PD300 when he interviewed with Mr Mahmut Akşit because he didn't ask and the news leaked a week after.
The only profitable way of using hydrogen to drive a truck is when someone produces hydrogen on the cheap as a byproduct of some other production and you fill up your tank right from the source of hydrogen production cheaply. A big trucking company can do this if there is a hydrogen producer on...
We are creating an aviation industry that can make a cutting edge fighter jet complete with its every aspect. It is only natural that we can update our planes as we go. TFX in particular is multirole and it is big enough to accommodate many upgrades down the road. Once you make its engine...
They are, hopefully they are not very much connected to our banks. There is not much talk about how we can be effected. After all we are not borrowing all that much in the recent years. With interest rates at 8.5%, peanuts for us.
