We need to ask ourselves ; why thrust reversers are not used on any fighter jets? Only tornado and viggen has utilised it to date with some success. Most important parameter for a fighter jet is weight control. To have a really heavy thrust reverser mechanism that you will only use for 30...

Sorry to be nitpicking again. But additional compressor stages will not increase thrust. It will increase overall pressure ratio and help lower fuel consumption and give better efficiency also with lower sound levels. But in turn it makes it more complex, increasing aerodynamic losses...

Bro, There lies the contradiction in highlighted wording. F404 has a fan diameter of 27inches. F404 has a fan diameter of 32inches. This larger fan pushes so much more air through the core that the overall dry thrust is increased from 11000lbf to 14000lbf. Consequently F404’s TIT is 1390degrees...

A very detailed study and well presented article on Hurjet - Mugem subject. There are however many presumptions that are open to arguments though. Just as an example, If we look at above paragraph, it takes a lot of assumptions regarding engine performance and conveniently omits the reason...

I have a feeling, Atak helicopter comes as a package with Honeywell engine being a contractual part of that package. If Tusas is to sell a light attack helicopter, it may have to produce the T-629?? like below...

Please stay on topic and be civil with each other.

You must have had temporary brain freeze mate. Unless you were joking😂 Umtas GM block 1 16km range fired from land, 20km fired from air; and Block 2 ; 50km fired from air, 32km from land platforms. https://turkiyedefenceindustry.quora.com/ROKETSAN-NEW-UMTAS-GM-long-range-anti-tank-missile

Tusas KahramanKazan facilities are in Saray, on the left corner of above map. Out in the sticks, and away from major towns. Also just south of Saray, towards bottom where the air museum is, there is Etimesgut airport. To the right top is the Ankara Esenboga International airport. Flight path of...

Regarding this 42000lbf thrust GUCHAN palaver: Let us look at what the most prominent factors are in a Turbofan that matters related to higher thrust. Basically and most commonly you can increase thrust of a turbofan engine by: 1. increasing airflow. a) To do that yo can increase rotational...

Please don’t go a miss that ; Extension of length by a meter automatically increases the wing area by a good amount which is the real parameter that matters when it comes to “lift”. Coarsely calculated it should be 18-20% increase in wing area.

More importantly it should have bigger IWB to accommodate larger missiles like Som-j. The larger wing area together with the prospective higher output thrust from TF6000 will give higher performance to the plane and the indigenous engine’s inherent stealthy structure would help with the low...

No I don’t have the “burden of proof” when this issue was discussed here many times. You need to read what is written a bit more carefully. The sine wave illustration is a generic one. Not necessarily belonging to Tayfun. This missile has to evade ground air defence systems. In order to do this...

1. Chat GPT is not allowed in this forum. 2. If you listened to the official statements you would know that Tayfun had a suppressed trajectory. 3. The graph is a generic one to illustrate a typical suppressed trajectory. 4. Before accusing people with providing wrong information, I suggest you...

As I tried to explain in my previous posts, going over 1000km range with a quasi ballistic missile is a difficult task to achieve. As far as we have been told by officials, Tayfun missiles have a Quasi ballistic Trajectory. It means they all fly within atmosphere using a suppressed trajectory...

Exactly. When the push comes to shove they are going to drag their feet and won’t deliver the engines for a Light Combat Hurjet. Besides F404 is never going to be enough for a STOBAR operation. Either a F414 or a reconfigured EJ200 is probably the minimum requirement. Apart from that by the time...

You think a navalised Hurjet will not be a nightmare? Which is better; nightmarish but stealthy jet fighter or simple to manage but easily shot jet?

The US is Becoming Dependent on a Single Platform On the other hand, it is assessed that the Pentagon is also taking a significant structural risk with this transformation. The operational load, which was previously distributed among Harrier, Hornet, and other platforms, will become largely...

For a carrier based Hurjet it seems that they are looking at a plane with much bigger wing area. But this plane is not stealthy. US marines are giving up on the Super Hornet usage from their carriers. Going forward it will be just F35Cs and F35Bs as of post 2030. In the West, UK and Italy will...

They are not. True. But essentially it is a form of hybrid power generation system. However the diesel power is not used. It is only electric power that propels. So they may be partially correct not to call it hybrid. By using electric power you get many advantages. 1. Very high torque values...

I think this is very old news. The second ship is now in for MLU. The program is delayed by quite a few years. project started in 2018. TCG Oruc Reis docked in 2021. She joined the fleet in 2025. The total project was to finish by 2025-26. But only 1 ship is upgraded so far. And we are served...
