Cute little fighter, like a 14 year old taking on 16 year-olds.

The possible locations where the disposed parts will fall is the major determining factor. Probably a test flight will show where they will land before a permanent launch site can be established.

Foreign cooperation is a boon at this stage to get past the existing technology acquisition period without a hitch. If we had gone through these stages alone there would be many experimentation steps and possible failures/mishaps before we can fly our first jet successfully for the first time...

Vestel has to come up with something better than the competition. Initially Vestel was tasked to make a catapult launch shipborne UAV but they failed to deliver. And they wanted to continue development with a classical plane to directly compete with Baykar's TB2. This really didn't serve any...

With the Bayraktar TB2 payload capacity rated as 150kg I wonder if a smaller sat-com can be fitted in the TB2. Knowing that there are nano satellites with communication capabilities why not an UAV vehicle have a similar small sat-com. Any ideas?

Sounds like ~320 rpm.

You will only know that once you try it. Once upon a time there was seaplane trips from Halic/Istanbul to Bodrum (?) and the company ended up with $5mn loss. There were also helicopter shuttles in Istanbul which closed up shop long ago. That Norwegian company I mentioned just because they were...

That cruise company doing Norway ports has messed up big time this year traveling with Corona positive crew and passengers and stopping at every port of Norway. Just a note.

Cruising is a good way to both vacation and and see places at the same time. The best part of it is you don't have to get visa for the visited countries. An average cruise is 7 days long in which you can normally visit 4-5 ports. If you do several cruises like this you can visit all countries in...

They should also do Mediterranean cruises visiting both European and Maghreb ports. and also eastmed ports in separate cruises.

We should also try to extend our EW capabilities into satellite spoofing which can level the ground to some extent.

I wouldn't tell this to anyone. We don't know if the second stage does always fall dawn or stay in orbit. I heard it falls. Best choice would be to make them recoverable/reusable like Space X does. But please note that Space X is the only company that so far could pull this stunt off. So...

None of the above. One choice from None of the above. One choice: form Datça; first stage falls into the Mediterranean Sea, second stage in to the Indian Ocean. Second choice a launch ship launches from the sea. either in the Mediterranean Sea or the Indian Ocean. Third choice: Launch from...

Baykar Savunma internet sitesi Right when I was trying to get the link from a news site I have noticed that Baykar website already posted the payload capacity as 150kg. No wonder TB2s are working wonders lately. They also posted engine power as 100hp.

It maybe a good idea to re-engine Herons but it is not a good idea to develop en engine to re-engine the half dozen (?) Herons alone. I would guess the TB2s will be fitted with PG115 down the road if not have been fitted already. TB2s fitted with a 115hp engine instead of 100hp is probably what...

There is this mystery with TB2 about what engine it is using. There is a TEI engine with the name PG115 which seems to be custom made for TB2. So is TB2 still using Rotax engines or is it using this TEI engine which had 15.000 flight hours under its belt a year ago.

Every UAV platform has its usage and its price. You don't want to risk a more expensive Aksungur if you can do the job with a more affordable TB2. Also logistics must be different. TB2 is 12 meters wide where Aksungur is 24 meters. Aksungur will do coastal surveillance best among others as it...

It is somebody else's program. Looking at how US has brought out their 6th generation fighter prototype just recently it is evident that the development cycles of new fighter jets or any military program for that matter is way shorter than what it was like just 20 years ago. US did their...

Seems like if you have prior data from a similar project you can extrapolate and interpolate to incorporate with new input and get to a respectably accurate result of calculation. If you can use somebody else's data you can probably get away with minimal experimentation.

This Hürjet looks sleeker than the full size mock-up which had some misaligned lines.
