Other companies do not have the vision of the possibly high numbers of demand for such a product and they do not want to spend RD money on it. But 50 hp is the magic number for single seat airplanes.

They overlooked the paramotor engines of Alida motors. The company had even renewed its website. https://alida.com.tr/

Is it because I have seen a few Chinese dramas instead of continuing with sageuk?

The problem with these machines is they are powered by electric motors and electric batteries. Batteries have limited power and the plane can only fly for a short time and with a small payload capacity. There is also the US Navy Osprey type planes that are powered by turbine engines but they...

There are novelty flying machines that target to enable helicopter style vertical take off and landing capability. These type of vehicles have yet to prove their reliability and usefulness as they lack in some department when they shine in other areas. When they are faster they lack carrying...

Good to hear that they have managed to enrich / extract those rare earth minerals.

That would be another type of propulsion, categorized otherwise. But particularly with electric propulsion anything is possible. When they can make it with turbine engines it is much easier to make them with electric propulsion. It adds some complexity to the system as there is a transition from...

There are many more things that contribute to the succes of the TB2 platform than that meet the eye. Picking up a few good lessons will not make much difference for them. It is not some alien UFO out of this world that can give them unheard of technology.

There was a RİHA progrm which failed. RİHA meaning rotary wing UAV, helicopters and other VTOL aircraft.

Chip Yates hit the jackpot, he shipped more than a thousand pieces last time.

Good thing you listed to our government. For me a trojan horse is a trojan horse whatever anyone else says.

Once a US general said "We desperately need to give F35 to Turkey" This is a word to the wise.

A bit of history

Twin engine Hürjet design should also be advanced to production ready state and be considered for production with an appropriate engine. We need variety with our systems.

There is a ready made mockup, one can easily assume that this is the mockup as there has not been any news regarding the start of assembly of the actual prototype. At the moment we safely have 14 months to the rollout where the prototype will presumably make its first public appearance. I think...

Several years old news but people should get to know what's happening in the country.

We don't need additional F16s, we are just making moves to get back the money we paid upfront. Buying F16s gives to the US 3 times the money we have paid for the F35s. So it is the US that will profit from it while Turkey will get F16 that we do not need. Asking for such political benefits that...
