People do not need to see to believe that planes will fly and fly well. We have confidence that development efforts will bear fruit in due time and goals will be achieved. Setting ambitious timeframes do not garner additional political scores but make developers give their best to show the...

You don't have the latest on Hürjet. Length: 13.6m Wingspan: 9,5m Wing area: 35m²

No I haven't. I have never said it will come out perfectly from production. But you have to give that it has all the good design features that only need to be validated through production. It has 20% more range over both Indian and Korean planes. It is the latest design, being the latest it is...

Your crumbling arguments do not amount to anything. Tejas is a failure, its Mark 2 will roll out in 2022, a new beginning from zero with a lot of design changes. After decades long history it is still experimental with Frankenstein components.

+ Turkish government has already placed an order for the Hürjet trainer. + Hürjet offers 20% longer range (by design) - The KAI FA-50 is fitted with an Israeli radar.

They believe in their product which is also evident from the fact that they also entered the US Air Force trainer tender.

A decision will be made by Malaysia by early April at a time by which Hürjet will emerge as whole for anyone to see and feel. And TAI will have at least 3 whole years to make the deliveries.

Indian plane hasn't been sold to any other country than India since it first appeared half a decade ago. Koreans highly likely will not meet the 30% Malaysian input requirement. Hürjet is brand new, sporting the latest technology and with nearly all components coming from Turkey except for the...

I wonder what made anyone wonder if TAI would give up. TAI is the strongest of the contenders. The other two front runners India and Korea have major drawbacks like Indian AESA radar is Israeli made and Korea has no plans to meet the 30% local input requirement while TAI is only behind a...

MU25 Cenghiz Muharip (fighter/warrior) Uçak (plane) 2025 (first flight/technology year) Cenghiz Khan (arguably the greatest warrior of all times, known by the world over).

Did we need advertising with TB2, a resounding NO.

It is not the name but the meaning in English and actually it has further reaching meanings in English but not in Turkish. The name Gökhan is not lame.

The name TFX is only good for English speakers. TSJ 25 Gökhan is better, meaning Turkish War Jet 25 Skylord. 25 is the year of first flight.

I wouldn't buy military equipment with brains on it from the US. That includes engines that have a FADEC on them. I would only buy some engines for prototypes and a first fleet.

Wow to the aircraft carrier being domestic !

I will be there to join the protests against an F35 deal if same conditions as Israel are not given.

It can go higher than this estimate in the long term. The total production number can go to as high as 500 pieces with exports provided that engine supply is secured long term. This kind of airplane is also suitable for unmanned operation as the price is lower than a full size fighter which can...

I just checked and did not see the part where it says consecutive .

This is a political decision meaning it is intended to move into production once it completes its technical development phases. This is because TAI started this project without a request from its customer, the Turkish government. The reason why they started the project without a request from the...

It flew 60 hours in 72 hours (3 days). Some of its hours must have been spent on the ground as it took 72 hours to fly 60 hours (it does not say it flew continuously). TAI would proudly say 60 hours in their website if it actually flew that long. I would believe TAI website rather than some lame...
