There is only a short 26 month lead time to the roll out of the MMU, every effort must be put towards polishing up this plane before it is built. Gökbey serial production being postponed by a year has nothing to lose for us in terms of experience as we have already completed the development of...

It is unbelievable how carbon composite is not used for the inner webbing of the bulkhead with some cross-link support bars in steel or titanium. Carbon fiber is supposed to be 8 times stronger as same weight steel. Probably because compressional strength is required rather than tensile.

Looking at the KFX bulkhead it is not presswork at all, it is completely routed from a thick slab of metal.

They have been on schedule but one of them is being put on expedited schedule which requires engineering time to be shifted between the too. This is actually a happy situation that shows the agility of our engineering work force. I am very happy too see the TFX program being expedited, I wish...

Deep and sharp insets are to blame I guess.

We can take that risk. The worst case scenario is the Turkish engine initially produces a low power and the plane is somewhat slower than intended which can be addressed over time. Seems like our guys may want to try making a smaller engine for Hürjet too.

I was almost getting the idea that the skin comes integral with the structure but obviously it does not. Seems like skin parts are attached after the structure is built. Parts are not monocoque but piecebuilt.

You are lusting over them but not paying their costs, that's even more immoral. On your knees, now!

Then you are a criminal, an outlaw waiting to be apprehended for hedonist behavior on state funds.

T Time We can not jump to the end state where everything is the latest technology, it will take a lot of time. We need intermediate results where we can make use of what technology we already have and also to sell to others.

We don't worry about cost. We need to develop our industrial prowess. As long as we do development with national resources the money will stay in the country and cost will not really matter. Therefore we can try any combination of anything to make successful products. Money spent in those areas...

2023 is the year of roll out and IDEF is at the end of May, roll out maybe later in the year. There is also the elections in the same year. But between now and then I guess some announcements can be expected to be made marking the milestones passed in the project. One early milestone maybe when...

Lithium batteries have many varieties. Lithium polymer is ligh weight but prone to overheat. Li Ion is a bit less powerful but still susceptible to overheat. Recently there is Lithium Titanate batteries which is less power dense but sports a very long cycle life and more importantly does not...

I wonder at what stage we will get the first glimpse of the TFX body. Will it be after main structural elements are put in place or after most of the parts containing the skins are in place or what. Do you guys remember the first picture of the K-FX, how complete was it when it first appeared?

Tinkerer's mind A transmission-less smaller torque output from the diesel engine mixes with the electric motor output to make a combined output of full diesel and full battery electric power for the duration that the batteries can last. This method is in addition to generator plus battery...

Turkey scored 950.000 doses of vaccination in 6 days, getting ahead of many nations that started vaccination earlier with 1.12% vaccination rate. https://www.aa.com.tr/tr/koronavirus/kovid-19-asisi-yaptiranlarin-sayisi-950-bini-gecti/2115769

That only means the beginning of physical production of any part of the plane. Like the first welding in shipbuilding. it doesn't matter what part they are welding.

All a man and wife need is a three bedroom house, anything more is all for his work.

A 7.62/51 NATO round has 3600 Joules, make the division. You always have the option to gauge the gun down if not up. I didn't mention SAPAN in my question after all.

What is the possibility of a railgun being employed on the MMU. Any advantages and disadvantages? A more capable power generation must be implemented on the engine side. Mach 6 is faster than a cannon I believe, how much faster? Fire rate; how many shots a minute? How durable and reliable will...
