    It will not be required to defend itself, perhaps a couple of WVR missiles can be provided for targets of opportunity. But as long as it stays in the air it will provide radar capability to other assets. Several of such planes can create a wall of radar coverage. For possible additional power...

    I did not claim that they are better. It is enough if they are satisfactory. Because of China and Russia entering the market the US and Europe market shares will shrink and they will no make good revenues anymore which will effect their innovatve edge.

    I don't think so, the west is on the decline, China and Russia are on the path to being independant in aviation. This means there will be 4 sources of passenger planes instead of 2. We can diversify our procurement and get better terms in deals. We should not buy 355 planes from vendors who will...

    Russian passenger planes along with engines are progressing very well at the moment. If we should allocate some of our plane procurement to Russia we can be on the winning side. We can use Russian planes on routes where western planes are not really required.

    President Erdoğan: I would think that there maybe a different engine effort for Kızılelma than the TF6000. What is hapening with the Black Sea Shield now, I wonder. In this statement of Erdoğan, he mentions Aselsan as the optics maker but never mentions TEI for engines and talks in a manner...

    RR designed an engine in 18 months. It all depends on what experience you have. Mr Akşit once said every next engine takes half the time to make. Unless you introduce an unproven and experimental feature to the engine your time to a usable product shortens with every build you make.

    5 years is in a slow pace which is the norm. You can put it on the fast track and count months. TEI have already left some years behind in this engine development.

    There maybe use cases where efficiency comes last like when boostering a plane in take off but still there are other solutions to the problem like catapulting or tuging with cable which are more convenient.

    Isreal struck their own people first in response to Hamas move before they struck Muslims. There are some real people in the world that will not take events as they are portrayed by mainstream media. There is still a good chance the EF deal to come through.
