    This solves the energy problem of cars and everything else. But where is the evidence that it will work?

    TR Indigenously Made Firearms & Medium Calibre Weapons

    We don't want to replace them, we want to supplement them. I would always see the positive side and think about what value it adds to our capabilities. If it works very well then we expand its stock if not we keep it limited. Thinking of how capable our small arms industry has become it won't be...

    TR Indigenously Made Firearms & Medium Calibre Weapons

    So what. Every piece of equipment has its place. If other calibers are not ideal for certain purposes then you make new ones. We have both expertise and other resources to make them. US have even bigger stock but it doesn't stop them from making new ones. 6.8 is the midway between 5.56 and 7.62...

    TR Indigenously Made Firearms & Medium Calibre Weapons

    US Army is looking into 6.8 caliber for the sake of body armor piercing capability at far distance. We should look into it for the sake of verity in our capabilities. It shouldn't be too hard to introduce it with all the experience we have now.

    Your observation is far from reality. A few people sampled on the net do not paint the picture. Those worked towards the collapse of the Ottoman Empire are many but the main ones are as you defined them. Some of the remaining ones also exist in the current population of Turkey. Most Turks are...

    TR UAV/UCAV Programs | Anka - series | Kızılelma | TB - series

    I was thinking supersonic speeds are not really possible with small engines and airframes but I saw the other day that a British professor and his team are trying to make a supersonic small UAV at around 20kg weight. So it boils down to power/weight ratio of the system. There is some allegations...

    TR HÜRJET-Advanced Jet Trainer/ Light attack aircraft

    If it can be fitted with a Turkish engine the Hürjet can be highly optimized for a certain mission. I wish the trainer function becomes secondary to the fighter function rather than the other way around.

    TR Foreign Policy & Geopolitics

    On the contrary Israel has stepped out of its calm policy and is slowly causing alarms to go off as to how Israel is a threat to the region. Israel needs to ease its tension more than Turkey does.

    He should be able to take some heat if he wants to flame. I am not responding to him anymore.

    Turkey's First China-Bound Freight Train Enters China's Northwest Port

    Looking down on Turks an saying they can't do a thing, that's your biggest problem. I am not hearing your bullshit anymore.

    Turkey's First China-Bound Freight Train Enters China's Northwest Port

    Stop smoking that thing you are smoking. What makes you think Turkey can not make a helicopter engine and run it? All the the things that Turkey has done so far and in the process of doing, you don't know them. Lame duck Donald Trump takes his tweeting machine tweets on us. LOL I won't be easy...

    Lithium in not found in high concentrations is Turkey but found in smaller densities in places where mining is done. It is produced as a byproduct of other mining activity. Although concentration is not high it seems to be endless.

    Not totally impossible but would be a niche plane. It will have to carry its oxidizer on board which will reduce its payload capacity.

    The only thing that is missing for flying cars as envisioned by Uber Elevate program which basically foresees an electric propulsion for the sake of reduced fuel cost, quietness, and being free of pollution in place of use is RANGE. But if you give up on the pure electric requirement then you...

    All leading countries have their hands in the Flying Car business at Government Level. They have stopped leaving the field to individual companies and started taking it seriously. They also want to use them in the military despite all the modern and powerful other capabilities they already have...

    It is a joke in a way but it depends on how you envision it. The kinds that only live in movies rely on superior alien technology but there are also those that rely on reliable human technology. We are still at the peak of the hype cycle but some companies are about to get past this stage. Joby...

    A similar Consortium to the TOGG should be founded to make the Flying Car of Turkey. Canada announced such a consortium recently. There is still a chance to lead the industry as it is not established yet.

    Turkey is not poised to make a jump in phonemaking. The 4 existing makers had no plans to expand operations. A possible domestic capable micro chip is a decade away. They probably want to break out of Made in China disadvantage. And want to be able to ship to market faster and cheaper. Also...

    TR Propulsion Systems

    Pulsejet engines are intermittent like the piston engine. Repeated detonations make the propulsion which means there are intervals between detonations when there is no propulsion. They are suitable as tipjets for helicopters though as the push need not be continuous. They will underperform any...
