Dear members, keep the language of the forum civil and refrain from being confrontational. Criticism is part of healthy discussions as long as it is done in a civil and acceptably polite language. Convey your views in a manner that is not rude and confrontational and also make sure that it does...

In a way yes. As parts become bigger their specifications become more sensitive. Forces acted on those parts are generally larger and the parts will have to be manufactured accordingly.

If you listen to Dr Aksit’s interview carefully he mentions that the thrust is directly related to diameter of the engine. Hence an increase of around 15cm in diameter, according to Dr Aksit, will achieve a thrust level of 35000lbf. This is in a way, analogous to increasing a 1500cc 100HP car...

Prof Aksit in this interview states that they will start the ignition on TF6000 engine within the first months of 2023. He also mentions that it would take around 8-10 years to develop an engine like TF6000. He states that since they have been working on the TF6000 for 2 years, it should take...

Rectangular nozzles are better suited to stealth planes due to their better radar wave deflection parameters. However rectangular nozzles can only have TVC in in one axis. So a plane like F35B has to have circular nozzle. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214785322054049

Anka-3 , although not clearly defined in detail by TAI, by all intents and purposes seems to be an air to ground attack deep strike stealthy bomber drone. It has a top air intake akin to B21 type stealth bombers. Currently it is most likely using an engine of Ukrainian origin. When TF6000 is...

Congratulations to all staff that were involved in achieving this feat of engineering in such a short time and making us all proud and happy bunnies. We are all looking forward to seeing this bird in the air. That is the next big and most defining hurdle we have in hand now. To appreciate what...

Here is a good article on it. https://www.defenceturkey.com/en/content/nazar-was-designed-as-a-directional-infrared-countermeasure-system-compatible-with-the-tf-2000-from-the-beginning-of-the-project-4774

It is an ingenious weapon. It uses very little laser power and with more range than most CIWS, it will blind and render useless multiple targets it's tracking system has identified, one after the other in quick successions. It may look like a passive system. But by blinding and rendering the...

I would say; Wait till it is powered by XA100 adaptive cycle engine developing in excess of 45000lbf with afterburner and around 30000bf dry thrust, delivering 30 percent better range, 25 percent better fuel efficiency, 20 percent greater acceleration, and twice the thermal management...

Turkey, may talk about considering Russian and Chinese planes. But will never buy any, unless decides to leave the Western block for good. Even the TFX we are developing is designed around Western technologies. For the stop gap situation and as rightfully mentioned by both @Lool and...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/yeni-istif-sinifi-firkateynler-icin-sac-siparisi/ Orders have been placed for steels to be used in the next three I-Class frigates. It seems that the steel cutting ceremonies for all three ships are very near. As mentioned before, the building of three ships...

We have to learn not to count our chickens before they are hatched. For TFX to be exportable we need to overcome many hurdles. Some of which in broad terms are: 1. First flight. 2. Prototype testing 3. Aesa radar and weapons integration. 4. Engine indiginisation. 5. Serial production...

They started well with Altay and Milgem Corvettes. But their political affiliations have been their undoing. Any big conglomerate like KOC or even SABANCI with available cash reserves and infrastructure, is capable of investing in defence industry. But number 1 rule is, for the state to support...
