Probably this still brings more bang for the buck.

TAI came up with how many helicopter designs already in a few years, a variation should not take too long. And obviously 3 engine design capability will allow us to make even larger helicopters once we have 3k hp engines in the future, 25+ ton helicopters can be possible. It is a brilliant...

The likelihood of an engine failure is the same in both systems and a transmission is a far simpler system that an engine. So comparing 67% power to 50% power left when an engine fails the remaining engines are not overloaded in the 3 engine system while the remaining single engine on a twin...

A 3 engine helicopter is safer as when one engine fails you still have 67% of engine power in place while one of the 2 engine son a 2 engine helicopter fails you only have 50% of the power remaining. In this case the 3 engine machine completes the mission but a 2 engine machine needs to abort.

Launching rockets from airplanes they can put 443 kg into low Earth orbit as an alternative.

Iran, we owe you one.

Allegations about TB2 sales to Tajikistan, is this true? https://www.haber7.com/dunya/haber/3384237-orta-asya-ulkelerinde-turk-sirketlerin-iha-ve-sihalarina-ilgi-artiyor

We should have uploaded sensors to meter parameters that we do not have a knowledge of in this space mission like radiation levels and such. I believe some information is not public and you can only know when you meter yourself.

Taking human presence out of the game while still having human like skills on board can enable very fast progress in space industrialization as smaller and smaller materials will be required to do the same jobs as can be done with humans. This is like a booster behind a rocket that can propel...

It is only a protective cover for a display of missile scale models (?)

There is a space race going on after decades of stagnancy in this space and private companies in particular are running first to compensate the time lost as technology in other fields had advanced more than the advance in space sector. This race is to be further accelerated by the advent of...

While Roketsan are tasked to make a space launch system their pace of progress is not assuring as they have multiple tasks at hand so it is very fortunate that private sector can take the risk of investing in this field.

Private sector dynamism is at play. @Ravager

I wonder what is happening with the SR-1 launch as it is supposed to be about time.

Any updated info as to when we plan to place our first object into orbit, I will be much more excited about it than watching somebody else run a show.

Can't see Maldives ? Because the largest of their islands can barely house a landing strip, but they have a name in its place.

Welcome aboard Maldives

I guess it should be partially cloudy at worst to be considered a good weather for a first flight so no luck in the next 5 days I guess. TAI Campus 5 day weather forecast

Probably the first flight date of Kaan will be the last time a date is given for a flight of a plane as this is actually an iconic moment in the progression of Turkish industry. After this every new launch will look smaller and even trivial.
