I was thinking a thrust reversing vane brake would be an overkill but seems more plausible now which will make the plane land on even shorter strips. Like the nozzle vectored down first to make the plane lighter and upon touch down it turns to braking position using all its power to reverse the...

It's is not that Baykar doesn't have a good plan but you now the resistance from the advocates of that "oh so precious we don't want it to be modified TCG Anadolu" conservatives.

I am not talking about a VTOL, I am talking about a partial VTOL that can not land straight down, it can be considered an ESTOL (E for extremely). An F35 type VTOL is way more expensive to make. My suggestion is simple two vanes on the top and bottom of the engine as an attachment. Similar to...

MIUS : Is it possible to land on TCG Anadolu without help from a barrier recovery system? If MIUS can be fitted with thrust vectoring vanes on top and bottom sides of the engine thrust can be vectored down and up to help landing and take off. During landing MIUS can approach with the exhaust...

The wide aft body with cavitation inside seems to serve the purpose of hiding heat signature primarily. On the other hand it does help with generating lift during take off and landing with a wider surface to pressurize the air underneath. Also it would be hard to bring the wide shape of the...

Folding wings probably introduce some weak points in the structures. For a plane as small as the MIUS I would do away with wing folding. Wing folding is primarily for stowage so finding a good way to stow the plane with full span wings should be the way to go.

There has even been talk about it that there is some cavity around the engine which shows that the fuselage is wider than for 4th generation fighters to accommodate internal weapons bay. The plane in the picture is a tanker, a totally different design and is irrelevant.

The fuselage of MIUS has a noticeably wide body which contributes to lift especially under ground effect which can enable shorter overall wingspan that it seems to have now. There can be more design trade-offs to be made before the design is matured. The fact that MIUS can take off without help...

Aselsan probably knew MIUS was coming.

We will have MIUS and what not within 5 years. TFX as a plane that will have engine running by early 2023 can be flying in small batches by 2025 if rushed a little.

I would make a special bomber with four TFX engines. Quick in quick out with plenty of payload and range.

I have never watched a bla bla Thrones episode but I have seen several dozen Chinese drama all with many episodes.

You can see Akıncı's legs flexing when landing with all that payload. Still it has the 450hp engine on it which actually gives 300hp at cruise. There seems to be no word of the elusive 750hp engine yet.

Akıncı holds a range record of 7.507 (seven thousand five hundred and seven) kilometers.

You just save yourself and do not be a burden to the public. If everyone does this everyone is saved.

Turkish government has a sovereign share of the gold produced which is levied as a percentage of the gold mined and the percentage is determined depending on the price of gold. Gold is priced at USD$ 1800+ now and the percentage is 15%. This amount is not tax (?) and other corporate and sales...

It is not like they never touch them, we exchange them as a last resort. So now we have some knowledge as to how Turkish people are coping with economic downturns. More and more people keep their gold in more exchangeable gold ingots rather than in ornamental pieces.

500kg is the warhead weight threshold not the ammunition weight.

Turkish people have 3000-5000 tons of gold in their stashes as savings while US govt have 8000 tons as the top holder. As a gold miner Turkey is trying to move from 40 tons to 100 tons annual production in the next 5 years or so. I expect Turkish govt gold reserves to grow to more than 1500 tons...

They asked me when film photography will turn into digital and I said 20 years, it just took 5 years.
