    TAI is not in the stock market, only Aselsan is, so we have no idea how much TAI is worth. Same for other Turkish defence companies.

    Aselsan is at 12th position among stock market defence companies but the companies ahead of it were at the same size as Aselsan is now just a year back. I can imagine Aselsan to climb up to 7th position over time under favorable conditions.

    It would be great if they go into EMALS system deployment from the getgo and they can make a smaller version for planes upto 15 tons which will cover up to a naval Hürjet. Once time bocomes right to upgrade a 35 ton model can be made to possibly fly a naval Kaan or a possible other large plane.

    I don't know how they find those news, but it is absolutely more appropriate for the Japanese Navy to go for the TB3 as they have the ships that can benefit from it while their army can find other makers for the role of the TB2. We may be waiting longer to find out the truth of the matter but it...

    Users want to maintain technological edge over the competition, if it makes sense for them they will bear the cost and ante up the money. Countries that can source the raw materials that go into making of the high end alloys domestically can use them to be on top of the game. The cost is only a...

    The drone's name is Sivrisinek and while it means mosquito in English mosquito is not Sivrisinek's name. There is a well known helicopter brand overseas with the name Mosquito.

    Snecma M88 achieves 1577 °C with air cooled, ceramic coated, single crystal turbine blades made from a new AM1 alloy (N-18 alloy in the final production engines), So it is reasonable to consider matching this performance level for the TF35k engine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snecma_M88...

    Alloys' performance stops improving at around 1400 °C and additional performance is achieved mostly through cooling. Small blades offer little real estate to implement cooling and larger blades can host more cooling features hence deliver better peak performance. Also 5 years passed since the...

    This is my guess based on the performance levels of some modern day engines shown in the table below. I would expect a threshold level be passed with the TF35k engine.
