    That is not really the issue as there is not huge (new) cost involvement to move LCA to TEDBF (compared to say cost + time for LCA from scratch)....especially relative to GDP and total wealth now (compared to the situation from say 1990 - 2010) Essentially TEDBF is the N-LCA argument iterated...

    Much appreciated. Teşekkür ederim. Also thanks to @uzaysan for his summary here:https://defencehub.live/threads/turkish-propulsion-systems.3/page-27#post-46778 W.r.t RR and PW "using" TEI large blisk tech (as GE + CFM using it is a given), it would be interesting to get some further...

    Yes the JV between GE and TEI was for production of blisk for CFM LEAP engine after all. Maybe TEI has found a process innovation within it.

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    I think I understand more now. It is probably an application of blisk to military use for F-16 engines (if say some of these were non-blisk ) that Turkey has extended into...and probably what impressed the army attache. Single crystal is something else, thats the turbine side of things. Blisk...

    Not sure what he means by that (or the exact words) as my company (PW) and rolls royce does that (blisk manufacture) and I would imagine Snecma and some others too. But the achievement for Turkey is notable one, I would imagine GE was attracted to go for JV with TEI earlier for this very...

    Vietnam Vietnam Economy Thread

    I think we have discussed this before somewhere. GDP is overrated especially for some countries (that use a lax data dissemination standard) on top. Vietnam is one of them. Hopefully it will join the SDDS standard at some point in near future...to help with the reliability here....so we don't...

    Sticking to production side purely, I dont know anything about CSIO. But BEL does.

That makes a large conversation...
