Next gen choppers will have single engines. Specifically US FARA project compound helicopters will be like that.

International politics has a big role in national economy. If you want to improve the ratings to attract funds then you need to cut down on conflicting with the lender's political interest which is a no go for Turkey. There are gains to be made in the medium to long term with the political moves...

FDI has always been welcome but I would rather persevere and exploit our national resources and support our development on national resources than allowing foreigners to have big say on our economy. Turkey's growth potential is bigger than any nation in almost all the world but I would rather...

We still don't know the exact specs of Atak 2 as it grew from 8 tons to 10 tons and it still has potential to grow. We also have the 10 ton utility helicopter that can grow. Also possibilities of other helicopters including next generation compound models can kick in. US has increased their 3k...

Even bigger means like 4500hp to me as there are turboprops of that power on planes. But it can as well mean 3500hp as the Atak 2 needs such an engine. So what are we supposed to dream of now? Let's say we want to follow the recent trends in helicopter making and improve the 3000hp by 20% which...

Saying you would name is as good as saying it, you are nailed.

That's a 9th of the cost. If this cost level can be maintained throughout the space programs we can make it happen with small budgets. Not anywhere close to the level India does but somewhere in between. So anytime you see a cost number from the west you know how to calculate our local cost.

We have never put a man in the outer space. Ordinary people can not survive there, only the superheros can. So investing in artificial intelligence and robotics can pay off. Perhaps a breakthrough happens in the future or incremental improvements add up and people can live in space. But we don't...

I see that they don't rule out a shipborne launcher which is brilliant. In any case it better be shipped to a location near the equator to make the most gain from the acceleration assist of the ground. On the map below I marked the 3 possible locations that are being considered by the Indonesian...

Fallacy all belongs to you, Merkel is a nobody who is just an appointed officer is waiting eagerly to be freed from work and retire.

Ungrateful woman made a scene to make a gain from seeing the president. Under another government she would never get to see a president and would be beaten up by guards for her actions if she did while she is being treated bountifully now. She will bear this shame forever as she behaved...

Thankfully the nose sensor globe is well embedded in the fuselage and not sticking out as it does on Atak, nice facelift.

Wondering what the domestic input rating of Bayraktar TB2/3 are now after all the changes made so far.

That also means we can have armed forces four times as effective for the same prize.

It is supposed to have some test rig elements on it. The end product should be as compact as it gets.

That one word that will define the Turkish spacefarer is an elusive one. I suggest they put up a prize for the chosen word that will be divided between the people who suggested the same word. They should set up an SMS line for it. And the prize should be an attractive one.

Curious if the 2028 soft landing launch will be made with a Roketsan rocket or still a foreign rocket. If the earlier announced 2030 SSO launcher can be made ready for the 2028 launch it will be a national effort end to end. Combined with the target of acquiring the ability to launch heavy...

Let me tell you something: Technology development is progressing exponentially, that speed can hit the seas sooner than most people think. From my major area of interest which is aviation I can say that the progression happened bewilderingly fast in the last couple of years. I have started...

I am sorry I'm sorry, I didn't mean physically sinking, I meant conceptually not being useful anymore. FYI: I am not a shipbuilder but I lived on the see for some of my life.

Stop eating white bread. People should stop working for bread money and start working for pasta.
