That possibility is there and it is a good thing it will ward off F35's from our skies. In the meantime we are developing our own systems and once they are done we can pack away our S400 systems for occasional resort.
Aeroderivative marine turbines typically have 80% commonality with their aero originals.
I reckon some of TEI's engines can branch off to marine if it is convenient considering also the GE marine turbine deal.
Kind of.
If the plane is fully loaded and its altitude is not high and the airport is far away there may be a risk that the remaining engine gets overworked and fails. Therefore it is good to have more airports.
Passenger planes can glide for more than 120 kilometers even if both of their...
Larger turbines turn slower
Larger blades have more real estate on them to implement cooling measures
Lesser quality turbines can go to the aeroderivative path to be marines
I haven't built turbines I only have part of the picture
Now that we are maturing the TS1400 and we have mastered that power range, what if we make a turboprop from it and equip an Akıncı Block 2 with it? like 2x1500 hp. It can give in excess of 3 tons of payload for 15 hours at 500km/h speed or so. It would sport an indigenous rating of around 95%...
Turkey is big in construction, comes second after China, piece of cake and it is good for the economy when the government want to boost the economy they incentivize construction. And it has been in the agenda for several years already.
The Star and Crescent Project is a project to brings together different branches of the Turkish military headquarters in one campus in Ankara. The shape of the building is basically a pentagon.
We can take pain as we did in the many decades past but will our counterparts take the pain of bickering with Turkey. That is less likely.
Short-sighted, what are you talking about?
Baykar will go after products that will sell in high numbers but TAI can make a long range bomber and supersonic passenger planes. Imagine they make three engine and four engine planes using the TFX engine. Planes that fly at twice the speed of sound carrying up to 30 people to the far side of...
Such a plane would be good to have for Turkey but there is no export potential.
After MIUS I guess the next step is a better MIUS. Even MIUS has little export potential.
Although after MIUS Baykar announced that flying cars will follow.
This seems to be used to complement the lack of ram air to drive the turbine fans. More like the first gear of the manual transmission car to get the car to move beating inertia. From all we knew from past disclosures about SOM ram air is essential for engine start. Perhaps a disclosure about...
