Lhtech-800 was the starting point of the engine. According to TEI’s site, it has 2 stage radial compressor, reverse flow combustion chamber, 2 stage axial HP turbine section and a 2 stage axial power turbine.

According to the latest estimates it will cost approximately 65million pounds per unit to upgrade tranche 1 & 2 to tranche 4 level. Plane’s initial value has to be added to this too.

It is ts1400‘s “so called core” with all it’s guts renewed, changed in to an axial flow turbofan. In all honesty they might as well redesign the whole engine from scratch. It will probably be easier. Garrett 109 is a small high bypass 20inch diameter turbofan engine. (It’s turbine diameter must...

This Garrett engine is tiny compared to ts1400. Also it is a high bypass turbofan. (5:1). ( As an example; Ukranian engine AI222 is low bypass with AB has a bypass ratio of 1.19:1) Totally different. 20inches diameter contains the fan which has to be big to create the high bypass value and...

Ibrahim Sunnetci had mentioned in one of his articles that the ts1400 core and body would yield a turbofan engine with a thrust level of 6000lbf dry and 9-10000lbf with AB. Size wise it would be quite a demanding case to make the said power level. But can be done by extending the length of the...

N may stand for navalised engine?

I agree. But TCG Anadolu will be joining the Navy’s inventory soon. It needs navalised helicopters. If we can get these for the interim period, then that is a solution. As attack helicopters go, the 10 super cobra helicopters will fill in a void as well. But they are old and quite a bit outdated...

Is this a new multiple MAM-L release pod being tried on Akinci? https://mobile.twitter.com/BarbarosToprak2

My understanding on the Midlas system was such that no foreign missiles would be compatible with it. Likewise no Turkish vertically launched missile would be compatible with foreign VLS system either. So this notion of ESSM and Siper co-usage in locally produced VLS system, seems a bit erroneous...

Dear members ! Please stay on topic. This thread is for : Turkey asks U.S. to buy 40 F-16 jets to upgrade Air Force Please stay on it. All non topic posts will be erased! There is a thread for Turkish politics. Put across your views there please.

Omtas is a missile also usable by one man with a tripod. It has lower minimum range (200m). It has a dual thrust rocket engine (boost and sustain). It was recently classified as the second best man portable anti tank weapon in the world. It is 24kg in weight. (35kg with the tube). It has an IIR...

Cirit has a SAL (Semi ActiveLaser) guidance. It is also powered by a solid fuel rocket engine. Sungur’s seeker head is different. It is to use IIR seeker. It is a fourth generation man pads missile. It’s engine is a dual thrust rocket engine. (similar to Stinger’s). (This is different to dual...

Dear members please refrain from attacking past and present heads of state. No matter how much you dis agree with them you have to stay within forum rules and be civil. Also personal attacks should be avoided. Present your case in a civil manner. Any insults to minorities will result in an...

https://www.defenceturk.net/muharip-insansiz-ucak-sistemi-mius-icin-ukrayna-ile-sozlesme-imzalandi Baykar signs agreement to purchase and integrate AI322F Ukrainian jet engines for MIUS. This makes sense now. There is a lot of synergy between this engine, Motor Sich and Baykar MIUS . Looking at...

Double Standards at it’s best!!

Great news. Finally YTKBs will have indigenously built ASW rockets. I hope that these boats will also be furnished with more assault weapons of ASUW class like MRAShMs and defensive weapons like Gokdeniz ER and/or Sungur.

That engine displayed is a 4000lbf thrust level engine. It is quite heavy for what it is (560kg dry. Western engines are around 450kg). Also just too weak to power TFX. We need two 30000+ lbf level engines for TFX. (More like 35000lbf in final form). Two of them put together can’t even power...

Yesterday, Mr Kotil stated that Hurjet will be flying in March 2023. He also stated that for the TFX they need to do 2 years of ground tests with engines and avionics fitted. That means, for Hurjet, the plane must be ready or will be ready within a few months. If it is ready for ground tests by...

When you have money you can do anything. 21 missiles costing nearly a million dollar each , plus the system times 2 , is a good amount of investment on each ship. Never mind the spares! Hopefully with the new Levent and Gokdeniz ER , local production costs will not be too prohibitive. GokdenizER...
