    TR UAV/UCAV Programs | Anka - series | Kızılelma | TB - series

    Safran, Honeywell, GE, RR all have such systems now, but the majority of the eVTOL industry want to go fully electric rather than hybrid mostly because of cost issues of turbine systems. However diesel hybrid is a more economic solution which is now gaining some momentum...

    The engines TEI are making are pretty good for civilian projects too as they are already developed for harder requirements of the military. They have quite sizable alternators for on board systems and that power can be used to trickle charge batteries in a hybrid system. But our industry is slow...

    Even if it did conversion losses would be too much. Serial hybrid has those losses and can not really be implemented on small systems. The PG50 has a pretty hefty alternator power for its size but still nowhere near enough for anything related to propulsion. A parallel hybrid is the way to go, I...

    A hybrid drive system but electric parts and combustion part are independent. The electric part becomes a dead weight once in the air not contributing to propulsion until it has to land. There must be a better way where combustion engine with its mighty fuel capacity can contribute to lift...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    The lack of them, possible. But we will try to make them until make them. A MMU without them is a plane with strings attached, partially Turkish, unacceptable for medium to long term.

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    You have to make everything in parallel to make them ready in time for production. It is also a matter for the industry to develop capabilities, consider it like how the US did space science and engineering to benefit it in other areas. We can not leave any area untouched. This is an engineering...

    Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

    Turkey does not depend on Ukraine for technology acquisition. Ukraine can only help with a few years of head start in several areas. Russia does not have the strength to capture to hold a big chunk of Ukraine let alone targeting Turkey.

    The prospect of involving the UK in more projects will surely be enticing for the UK as they have put many things up on sale after the Brexit and in the pandemic. We should take this opportunity to utilize their expertise in a similar manner as we can do with Ukraine. TFX and its engine and a...

    So funny that we can move up by just waiting for other to come down. Standing strong becomes moving up in the aftermath of the pandemic.

    Introducing OLA AirPro | The world's first fully autonomous electric flying car ;)

    Because they deceive people to think this is possible. And I am in the know of what is really possible. They make people believe that flying cars are commonplace while actually there is none that have been sold to a customer. There are a couple sold to be used to carry goods but not passengers.

    TR Turkey expects to lay ground for Kanal Istanbul project in summer

    Why would anyone take the tour through Bosphorus twice the return trip can be made through the canal or the other way around. Home port scheme is not only for Black Sea tours but also for Aegean and Mediterranean tours. In which case tourists can visit the city and the canal as part of their...

    TR Turkey expects to lay ground for Kanal Istanbul project in summer

    Of course they do, but when Istanbul is ALSO a home port guests will be flown in to Istanbul and as part of their package they fly in a day or two earlier and do their visits in the city and join the ship after. When Istanbul is a port of call instead of a home port which it has been for decades...

    Just the opposite it is you who is insulting. I have been a cruise ship professional for some of my life and you are saying I don't know a thing about them. Why are you such a bad boy.

    The problem is some people have a misconception about flying cars. At some point they will be as affordable as a ground taxi ride.
