Their combustion engines are probably also generators so you do not need external generators. But still if you do not want to wear out its onboard engine/generator there can be external generators.

Electric has 900 hrs vs 100 hrs with diesel; electric wins.

Not a frontline company but they develop their own avionics I guess. I had come to know about this company when I was looking for avionics makers. They have been around for a number of years with low profile.

Remember the MKE guy who gave the MPT engineering package to an American company, now multiply that crime by a hundred. Such a shame.

They can only learn a few things that is out in the open as a useful lesson. Much of TB2's power come from elements that don't meet the eye. It can only benefit makers that can already make a similar quality plane. Nothing to worry about.

It is not that Turkey can not make any better but it is that the market has a vacuum at that price level. Canik has gained a big market share in the US by their current positioning of its products and has entered in the top three handgun makers. There are US gun owners who say Canik is best at...

There will be coaxial helicopter work once TAI finishes other helicopter projects that have already been planned.

SSB chief Demir says "Turkish industry has capabilities to build a second large ship like Anadolu and we are totally closed to foreign involvement"

It is probably unsuitable for a third company to use the same engines with their competition. Otokar can perhaps chose to use a smaller engine in hybrid form with electric motors which can make a modern propulsion.

Turkey seems to have 120nm process in house with Aselsan and Tubitak but this is nowhere near satisfactory. To be able to make entry level smart phones and chips that will drive a car 28nm process is the starting point. The Çakıl chip to be cast by the Taiwanese TSCM will be 65nm process. More...

They must be able to save some money from their pays as cost of living is dirt cheap in Turkey compared to the UK.

Version 2 of MSLS will go above 550km with 200kg payload. If this capability will be gained soon after the V1 it will be fantastic, as it is a lot more usable in a short time frame.

That's right.

HOGE is Hover Out of Ground Effect. Atak II's figure is not that low, notice that the other two figures are for 15 Celcius while Atak's figure is for 35 Celcius. The different test temperatures is because their performance numbers in other temperatures were not available.

There is no official information but range would be 800km for the first iteration and 1400km for the second. Speed should be around mach 0.8 I guess.

Among the publicly known projects it will have the longest range but for speed it will not be very speedy as it is a turbine engine powered missile. Turbines can be fast but a payload and speed balance is required for a missile hence speed is also less than ballistic missiles. Also low altitude...

We never settle.

It will be a GE engine, not a domestic one. We have advancements and results in all fields related to the TFX development. The only loose end is the domestic engine which can take longer to develop than we think as the technology for it need to be developed in house. However we do have...

IDEF is good for improving exports, we don't really need it for Turkey's own public. Turkish people are already informed of developments as they happen.

The plane will roll out with the power of its installed engines.
