I listened to this talk yesterday, they are making small submarine designs to experiment concepts as it is cheaper to fail in small size. For the Turkish Navy we need stuff that will be taken seriously by the world navies.

This is what we have been looking for for so long. Predictably a highly national engine without partnership with the Brits and their cronies.

Back to fighting with clubs as prophesied.

Planets must align for such high dollar cooperation between nations to happen. A nuclear submarine made solo is a more efficient weapon than a fighter jet that has to make 3 partners happy. Those nations already have F35 and have little gains with a 6 gen fighter. The bigger part of the fighting...

Seems like the time between second half of 2026 and the end of 2028 is compressible. Just add a domestic engine to make it work earlier.

TUSAŞ is state owned, take out salaries and materials costs every dime that goes into buying KAAN goes to the government.

If you can make a single engine with enough reliability you can do with one engine, but twin engine also gives more range with just one engine development cost.

When the time comes we must say "no" to Japan's accession to NATO.

Because being a lame ass one gun provider sucks. It is MKE making it and they should realize all the capabilities they can put on a gun. I don't see a point why not when the cost of not having it when you need it is huge compared to the cost of making it when you need few of them. If there were...

What is even crazier is what happens when Apple iphone gets such a no touch production facility. This gives Xiaomi little advantage as they can tap into low cost workmanship already but gives iphone a huge advantage for production in the US. Imagine all US brands return home for production.

Wheels are larger

TEI have not finished taking their first engine through its paces yet. Once they are done with it by completing civilian certification and probably making a military version of it they will feel more comfortable starting development of a bigger engine.

Yes it is but it also means that its regular power output may be increased too as the engine can take more pain and still stand. Its previous limit was 1665 hp, so if there is a 80 hp increase in the max power there maybe a commensurate increase in regular power. 3 x 80 = 240 hp total increase...

With the TEI-TS1400 recording 1740 hp max power a 3 engine system is even more possible now. If a 3000 hp class domestic engine is not considered for the near term a 3 engine system is the solution.

Indonesian Army delegation's visit to Baykar, Akıncı seems to be going to fly far this time.

That makes TR Motor a nobody in your view while it is wholly owned by TUSAŞ and tasked to develop the Kaan engine. Before we parted our ways with the F35 we were making the cockpit section of the F35 and its displays but that partnership had evaporated overnight. Who can tell if GE will serve...

TEI being partners with GE prevents Türkiye from investing more in TEI. Türkiye can not afford to continue to rely on foreign companies for engine supply. Baykar starting turbine engine manufacturing can bring some changes. They want to make turbofan and turboprop engines. If they go into...

GE being a partner to TEI is the problem but the restructuring engine industry may remedy the situation in the long run.

There is a power shift going on in the world and buyers can switch suppliers down the road. Türkiye needs to become a one stop shop for defence products and having no attack helicopter to sell does not help with this goal. Every bit of effort is worthwhile and Türkiye is well positioned to...

Put together 300 of the 1 watt batteries , add some super-capacitors and some lithium batteries and you can power a humanoid robot soldier who never needs a rest.
