You can question every investment made with that same argument, like the Istanbul Airport. That free passage called the Bosporus is a free flow of water with lots of dangers for the ships and the city. These dangers can be reflected in to precautions taken which can slow down the traffic...

You worry about yourself, a waterway is a natural resource. If Dutch didn't have the canals they would have wasted their utility, I have sailed through them. If you are not utilizing what your geography is offering you, you are not the master of that land but a mere guardian. There are billions...

As the entrepreneur Elon Musk already put it "if you are not failing you are not innovating enough". They will make hundreds of tests, I bet they will get there before too long.

A glimpse of what a fully developed version of this design should look like, in a civilian model. This is Transcend Air's VY400 https://transcend.aero/

I want to see these rockets blowing up in the air.

That's because you overlook the realities and can not wrap your head around the fact that Turks have been miserable guardians of a homeland full of natural resources. Making Canal Istanbul is another means that will make good use of geographic advantages and will bring riches to the nation. We...

Turkish hegemony/sovereignty on Turkish land. We held the land but we underutilized it like we didn't own it.

We should do everything but we can't squeeze too many things in a short time as it will cause some alarm bells to ring. The main thing we can do is to conduct as many research projects as we possibly can and strengthen our industry base. The ability to make many things locally is more valuable...

The world economy is doing bad now and we have a good chance to build the canal at a lower cost. We won't have to make concessions to make it happen. It will cost around $10bn and it has a chance to pay it off in a few years. It is economically very profitable and politically very beneficial. If...

I would look for a national solution. Only acceptable for stop gap. They could probably make it if they started early enough. If only were we sanctioned for this HUD.

You are just grossly looking at numbers. Delivery times of goods have increased their importance. People can not afford to wait long for deliveries.

"Silah tasarımları konusunda iddialı olduklarını ve yeni projelerin olduğunu ifade eden Aral, “2017, 2018, 2019 ve 2020 yılında tasarım ödülleri aldık. Bu sene de çok büyük sürprizlerimiz var. Biz her zaman müşterilerimizin sesini dinliyoruz. Pazarı, ihtiyaçları ve değişkenlikleri çok iyi takip...

You need to factor in the world population increase which is supposed to be 25% from 2020 to 2050 and more beyond. You also need to factor in cruise industry growth towards the still less explored Black Sea region. You need to factor in the Belt and Road Initiative where some of the freight will...

They can learn a few things but not to the degree that they can make their own but to the degree that they marvel at it.

These helicopters were discussed at a webinar that I watched today. They will be expensive. I have a post about the webinar in the Turkish helicopters thread. "The Future of Military Helicopters"

A centrifugal compressor doubles the air pressure; an axial compressor multiplies the pressure by 1,2 . When you have 4 compressor stages your pressure becomes 1.2^4 = 2.0736 times the initial air pressure. A four stage axial builds more pressure than a one stage centrifugal compressor.

In an industry webinar about the American Army FARA and FLARA programs. Which is related to my post #399. Which shows one of the runners for the program.

Probably, but this size engines usually have cooler exhaust temperature and it is easier to make turbine blades which are probably cast as a single unit like blisks.

SSM should simply purchase airframe's design IPs and build them themselves under STM or similar. They can have access to many more designs this way and encourage designers to patent their inventions.

I think the 15km is about the radio control range otherwise even the simplest air vehicle can cover more range in two hours.
