Drone development is not all that resource consuming and the rewards are high. Plus, success is not guarantied. So we need more companies to make sure there is success. They will pivot to other branches of the field like flying cars and robotics where we still lag behind. Until we have a big...

We should let other nations implement vaccination at full scale before we go ahead with it. It is okay.

Good thing you are not is charge. You find gold but you think it is tin. Does it ever occur to you that you will pay all that money to Germany and the US while there are 15 vaccine candidates in development in Turkey. You would have wasted all the nations money.

China is different from other nations. They still have communism and they can force their people to behave in a certain way. For a smaller and democratic country like Turkey we have a more limited set of policy tools.

No, I don't. I am not a fan of foreign brands investing in Turkey, especially those who will only do assembly job. But some will outsource the work to local makers and the other will export from Turkey and make money for the country. I think someday iron curtains between countries may be pulled...

So you want more taxes, that's how they prevent unnecessary stuff.

Dude you have no clue what is going on. Just the other day the completion of development and the delivery of a capable indigenous helicopter engine has been made. Being on this forum you would be expected to know better but really you have no clue. You are comparing Turkey with nations that have...

I would be happy and I would thank the guy but you are probably saying something else. :D

Thanks a lot for the detailed response. Things get interesting as such tech becomes closer to reality.

Refueling is optional and the missile is heavy and can not be carried on another plane but its fuel can possibly be topped off in flight but I am not sure at what highest speed it can be done. Refueling can extend the range perhaps another 1000 km.

It can be made today. It is simply a cruise missile with larger fins/wings that will enable taking off from the ground at higher speeds than a plane. And it will use a readily available turbofan engine. There must be a balance of speed/range/payload. Mach 3 speed and 5k+ km range is starting...

There is a campaign towards indigenisation which will in turn allow domestic production of many different industrial products like turbo-machinery, microelectronics, aviation and space, defense industry products and higher value products in general. It is not related to China, it is a trend for...

These planes are slow.

F16 has a lot of drag with its big wings and a large cross section. A super-cruise capable engine will have a better mileage with smaller wings and overall smaller cross-section. I happened to start sketching such a missile, it will be a basic thing just to show the shape.

I don't want it to return, I want it to have the maximum range and a sizable payload. It is like making an intercontinental air breathing missile on available resources. It can be launched from land, from an LHD or an aircraft Carrier.

I am envisioning one where the engine will be integral or separable with the payload and with single or multiple heads or missiles on it. It is just that a fighter turbofan can act as an engine of a very large cruise missile. One that can take off from a catapult or rail accelerator and fly at...

Does anyone know of a missile equipped with a full size fighter jet engine. Like you strap an F16 engine onto a bundle of 7 rockets and a small wing like it is a cruise missile together with a diameter of 4 feet or so? How much range would it have with the max speed the engine can afford? It can...

No weapons system without local production capability can be relied upon. The 12 engines seem to be for prototypes only. Local production must be a few short years away. But I have a question...

There needs to be a major shift in Israel's policies for anything good to happen to them from Turkey. With any government in Turkey.

EDIT: Moved to strategic technologies section. Mod edit: Reply in reference to https://defencehub.live/threads/engineering-stuff.1343/page-3#post-37175 Seems like it is only the torque tube that they are introducing to adjust the pitch angle of the power turbine blades is the innovation this...
