Drones is bound to be the new convention going forward.
We have Hürjet too in our mix of fighters. It will fill in when higher model TFX is not required like when the targets are not fully equipped.
Such drones can make themselves look bigger than they actually are. I would guess they should be smaller than an actual fighter but with all their re-usability features in place. When you make them with all the basic flight features you want to add some fighting capabilities perhaps like air to...
A major milestone has been passed with the successful first running of the engine.
We weren't even sure if we could get this far.
I hope the rest of the process goes as a smooth ride.
Thank you BMC for giving us hope.
I wish you a full success in your efforts.
F35 money is not returned. An equal amount of money or goods is due to be paid back. It would be easier for them to give permission to us to upgrade as part of a return package.
For your information;
Several of the makers of un-winged flying machines have decided to come up with winged designs likely abandoning their multi-copter designs.
AIRBUS with its thousands of aviation engineers have said that their design is for technology demonstration and there is no plans...
Did they expect an air attack, they could ask for it, were they not given when they asked for it?
We don't know such things. Blaming government groundlessly is not welcome.
Depending on what kind of operations the customer will conduct they can even operate the plane uncertified for a period of time based on TAI's word of reliability. If the country will only operate it in its own airspace they can do it with no certification at all. This is possible in every...
We haven't heard about EASA radars for Aksungur but it can be a simple upgrade when there is such a thing. It can possibly use networked ground radars or radars of other platforms for some radar functionality.
TFX will roll out under its own engine power in 18 March 2023, only 23 months to go, exciting progress.
Seems like only 2 years behind KFX now or even less.
With 60.000 mtow and 60.000 engine thrust TFX will have thrust to weight ratio of 1.
TAI website reads 2x27.000lbf but Mr. Kotil said 30.000 lbf for engine thrust.
