Innovation please! It's good to have more makers of things and all but we should see some innovation happening too.

They should strap tubes to the outside of the hull of submarines to overcome all size limitations.

There is a patent and Elon Musk opened it up to competition possibly ruining the lives of many me-toos as it is a high risk endeavor.

One would be laughed at if he claimed just six months ago.

I see a tube in the picture. Hyperloop patent is already expiring. Perhaps it is already a similar one. I always imagined tubes between the two far sides of Istanbul, many two point connections.

At freaking last!

I only sat once at a civilian ship radar at night time in my life and some high sea waves appeared on the radar scaring me, the rookie seaman. This seems to be a two in one solution for ships that don't need any better.

Some of these battery tech are at R&D stage with lower TRL levels. They will probably be commercialized one day but not just yet. We can still put some batteries in the power mix of our propulsion systems but in relatively small dozes to be increased over time. We can only look at what our...

Oh no, please no. What if it comes with many strings attached and we can only use them when playing house.

Aluminum alloys are even used in engine blocks so they have a respectable strength. But at the end what counts is the material strength to weight ratio in aviation. Aluminum is an easy to process metal so it is an option to fall back to if better (?) choices can not be accessed to. But why does...

There is only a short 26 month lead time to the roll out of the MMU, every effort must be put towards polishing up this plane before it is built. Gökbey serial production being postponed by a year has nothing to lose for us in terms of experience as we have already completed the development of...

It is unbelievable how carbon composite is not used for the inner webbing of the bulkhead with some cross-link support bars in steel or titanium. Carbon fiber is supposed to be 8 times stronger as same weight steel. Probably because compressional strength is required rather than tensile.

Looking at the KFX bulkhead it is not presswork at all, it is completely routed from a thick slab of metal.

They have been on schedule but one of them is being put on expedited schedule which requires engineering time to be shifted between the too. This is actually a happy situation that shows the agility of our engineering work force. I am very happy too see the TFX program being expedited, I wish...

Deep and sharp insets are to blame I guess.

We can take that risk. The worst case scenario is the Turkish engine initially produces a low power and the plane is somewhat slower than intended which can be addressed over time. Seems like our guys may want to try making a smaller engine for Hürjet too.

I was almost getting the idea that the skin comes integral with the structure but obviously it does not. Seems like skin parts are attached after the structure is built. Parts are not monocoque but piecebuilt.

You are lusting over them but not paying their costs, that's even more immoral. On your knees, now!
