Believe me they are attached and controlled. Zoom a little you will notice that they are. Roketsan's engineering capability is so good that you can't tell the canard are attached.

The canard control missiles of this ilk have “free-to-rotate” tail fins. They do not have actuators. If you watch carefully in slow mo, the tail fin rotates freely. Due to the tilted aerodynamic construction of the tail fins the induced tail fin rolling moment opposes the direct canard control...

Back end is not fixed. The fins at the back are tilted and rotate to stabilise flight. Canard controlled rockets may need rotating tail fins for flight stabilisation. Canard-controlled missiles are commonly used by designers. These missiles have, induced roll problem generated by the canard tip...

That is a game changer development. Akinci class UCAV firing stand off precision strike missiles that can hit their target at high supersonic speeds will be very difficult to intercept. These missiles have 4+ Mach top speed. At 30000+ feet altitude with even a few hundred kilometre per hour...

This issue was discussed here and the situation of Korean transmission was explained by @Baljak in detail. Just do an “Altay Transmission- Baljak” search and you will see the explanation. According to @Baljak this was most probably a defective part that needed to be redesigned and...

Can it be the exhaust nozzle of the auxiliary power unit? After all it is a jet engine as well. And it was being developed by TRMotor and Ivchenko Progress. Here is the one of A380 at the very posterior of the plane’s tail.

Ukraine War has shown the importance of artillery in battlefield. Provided the accuracy of the rounds are increased with economical methods like , Aselsan “mesafece duzeltme” system, you can not beat the effect of an artillery barrage. Unfortunately many artillery systems are not very...

Regarding Brahmos’s speed at terminal stage; First of all this is a ramjet powered missile. It has sustained thrust all through it’s flight envelop. In order for ramjet to function it has to fly at supersonic speeds. Brahmos has a top speed of 2.8-3 Mach at high altitude. But at sea skimming...

If memory serves, for every one we buy, one more can be exported. Or something along those lines. So 109 units order placed for Turkish use. But there will be 109 units that will be exported. Whether that export responsibility is on Sikorsky or on us I can’t remember. Over all Sikorsky and Tusas...

All anti ship missiles are designed so that, to start with they have to penetrate a ships hull before they explode. After penetration, the explosive is detonated. But with a missile like Brahmos, the speed at which it hits the hull and the weight of the large missile, there is so much kinetic...

@Afif is 100% correct. Brahmos attacks at 2+ mach terminal speed. There was a clip where it actually goes in from the bow of a frigate size ship and comes out of it’s aft section. It carries so much kinetic energy that it can do that. Quote: “The missile has flight range of up to 290-km with...

Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymers = CFRP When mixed with various different elements this material lends itself to so many different industrial uses that it is mind boggling. There are a couple of good articles on it below. Especially the second articles explains about using it in marine...

This is Attack and Utility helicopter thread. Please stay on topic. All off topic posts have been moved to https://defencehub.live/threads/turkeys-internal-counter-terrorism-operations.165/page-25 please carry on your related discussions there.

As a partner they would have a say and the right to protest such a sale. Kale officials stressed that the rights of the engine will be staying in Turkey. Think of it this way; Would Turkey be pleased if AEI Systems of UK owned by Canik, decided to sell 30mm and 105mm cannons to Greece? Surely we...

It is not up to us to fund the development of the RR engine. TAEC will fund it and make the engine and TAI will buy it. They will make their money by selling it to TAI. In the meantime TEI will make the indigenous engine. It will be the engine for newer blocks of MMU. So only TEI engine will...

There is “cruising speed” and “supercruise”. Former is the steady speed of an aircraft at most fuel efficient mode. (Apparently for KE this is going to be 0.6 Mach) Latter one is the capability of an aircraft to keep and sustain a speed above the speed of sound for extended period without...

No one will give you IP rights of a 5th generation turbofan engine. Let us be realistic. You can’t really expect RR to relinquish a technology that took them decades to perfect, even if we are paying mega bucks for it. According to the latest statements released by Kale, the best offer will be...

If the jet turbine engine has been manufactured with the right alloys and materials that can withstand corrosion and the engine inlets are washed with special soap regularly, cleaned and well covered after each use, there should be no problem with the engines. Soviets have been well known for...

We have gone past buying US’s second hand garbage. Those AH1Z Vipers are not the right helicopters for our frigates and for TCG Anadolu. We have transferred the super cobras to Anadolu because we had no other choice. But the first T929s will hopefully be navalised version of this helicopter, and...
