    Apart from Göksunger this engine can power a shorter range Gezgin missile as there are plans for several different ranges for the Gezgin. A turbofan can be used for longer range or larger payload.

    This engine can do it but it wouldn't be ideal as a low bypass turbofan will give more mileage for the same fuel. However before the advent of turbofans even passenger planes used turbojets, so it is acceptable.

    It sure can. But a diesel engine has its advantages. There are some other efforts being made to make engines for our ships which are already underway.

    Coincidentally TS1400 has 1660hp top power rating. It seemed an overkill that there are 700 personnel working on the TS1400 engine which makes more sense now. Projects can be slowed down and sped up in accordance with urgencies.

    What is more interesting is that there is a mention of a turbofan engine from the same core. This may just be an indication of an intent to make one and not have been attempted at all as yet. It would be fantastic if there is one though.

    Deal, you've got yourself a brand new secret engine project.

    Do you take bribes. :sneaky: It also appeared at the same time as TS1400 appeared.

    This engine seems to have been developed as a side product to the TS1400 engine and probably has the same BHP rating as its turboshaft equivalent. I have seen this engine at one of the trade-shows and it does have a similar combustor size to the TS1400 engine.

    Georgia to further strengthen defence capabilities in 2021

    Curious if Russia would rather deal with a Georgia equipped with American weapons or Turkish weapons.

    Highly likely. This can put Göksungur to the top of the food chain of Turkish UAVs but we don't have much supporting evidence.

    It is highly likely that the engine in question is this engine; but no specs mentioned.

    List of the 5th Generation Fighter Aircrafts

    I will have to take the first firing date announced by the maker of the engine in consideration which is 2025 (?) to base my guesses. This engine comes after the makers have gathered experience in making engines. So the timeline may have been shortened somewhat. It may sound optimistic but it is...

    I guess we will get to see TFX in use in small numbers as early as 2026. And with indigenous engine as early as 2027. If not earlier. Just a feeling.

    In a good way. Technology allows to have control over what's going on. As long as you can control it more and diverse population means you can have your hand outside of your country. Which every capable nation have done. Look at the US, UK, France, Russia and many others, whey have been doing...

    A smaller engine than a full size fighter jet engine like the TS1500 or TS300 would be a good testbed to work on to experiment towards exotic applications due to its smaller size which will mean easier handling. A VTOL UCAV derived from such an engine could be the Turkish version of an F35B...

    So now we have a name for the indigenous turbofan for Gezgin cruise missile. I had also heard the name TJ1600 as a jet engine but it is not mentioned in other news. However in one post TAI mentioned the number 34 as the number of projects they worked on. Which I believe includes several other...

    Being descendants of the Ottoman Empire that had accommodated 72 nations on its land what is too hard to achieve for Turkey.

    Nothing we can't handle about immigrants. You need to get outside of your comfort zone to achieve things. We didn't go through WW2, he have saved our stamina for slow wars. As we have ridden ourself from social diseases for the most part the matters of today are easy peasy.
