I guess the engines make up 20% of the cost of a civilian helicopter.

The 30.000 hour flight time engine must be the elusive PG115.

The numbers given for the engine weight should get clarified. Is it the whole package or are there some parts left out? The definite number can be given when the engine gets certified. We should be delighted with the indicative numbers nonetheless.

It is not a clear cut decision to go for IEP. There are ups and downs to each system. And the list of large IEP ships is still a very short one. The complexity of electrical systems of an IEP ship causes unexpected problems which happened to the second of the US Zumwalt class ship during trials...

You need to look harder to see the reasons why we can be denied the engines we want from RR and GE. And LM2500 is only good up to mid size ships. Electric conversion is a costly thing in terms of fuel consumption. You only get half the efficiency of when you use combustion directly. Therefore...

It seems to be the natural way of things. Initiatives are initiated by pioneers and when they are bearing fruit they are consolidated and reorganized for better productivity and optimization of resources. Loving it.

Thing wouldn't happen if it was not for Ethem Sancak. Others did not even dare nor did they want to give Turkey the power we need.

Ethem Sancak also talked about this saying they will develop the aeroderivative engine for the future Turkish aircraft carrier. Probably as a function of TRmotor company where both BMC and TAI are party to while TEI is a subsidiary of TAI. Lucky of us they don't push this work to the far future...

I have already got patent support from Tubitak once. Bigg is for new graduates others have their conditions and everyone of them requires that you have your own money to start with. Angel investors are my best bet. Until of course you already have money and can employ engineers. But I have a...

Those suckers discriminate people on age and education. I don't have an engineering degree and I can not be considered young. But I have the ingenuity and a passion for making history in aviation which don't get evaluated by those who thinks they know better. But there are people in the world...

Our chip is powerless, the cheapest smartphone on the market sports a 32nm chip. We don't know how many years it will take for us to get there from our intended 65nm and single core to multiple core. Update: For the record I have found one of each of 45nm 40nm and 32nm smart phones that are...

Give us 7 years ok, no rush. There are 3-4 Turkish brands in the market already but they don't make the components. Some make the mainboard though.

There are several ways of making that power mix. Parallel hybrid, serial hybrid and more. If you can run both the engine and the motor at the same time you can add the powers of both engines to make 2x170hp for max power. I am working on such a system for a private project. Anyone who want to...

Lets say the engine is PD170 and the plane requires full power of 170hp = 127 kW for take off. If you can climb to the altitude in say 5 minutes you need a battery with a capacity of 127*5/60 = 10.6 kW/h. Benchmarking with a Tesla battery of pack level density of 200 Wh/kg you need 10.6/0.2 =...

For once they got creative and innovative. Bets are open to guess which engine it is based on. I bet on PD170-PD180.

Rotax even make engines for go-carts. I come across to people who started their own small engines companies after working for companies like TEI before. I even came across to a person who is building a coaxial one seat helicopter. And the dude started making the thing from the engine. He has to...

This PG-50 can be a good sell to paramotorists and other civilian sport flyers but our TEI is not interested in making small money. I have a project that I can use one of them for and if the project sells it can be a hot cake seller for sport flyers.

Yes but even in a war with a capable power if you can take out the air defenses first you can clear the way for UAVs. They will be a good supplement to the manned systems.

There are rumors that Pakistan will buy several dozen Turkish UAVs, which is why I keep mentioning UAVs for Pakistan.

Not just yet. But if I win a lottery or something there can be. I have ideas.
