In a TV interview today Mesut Hakkı Caşın said that Mr Mahmut Akşit said that there is a 50k lbf engine in the works, if you want to believe that.

MSB Arge appeared out of nowhere and are displaying ambitious projects but what credibility do they have. Are they even commisioned to make those things, very unusual and dubious.

Aegean and the east Mediterranean are a close neighborhood we can access from our mainland.

Hürjet is a learning project for TAI and they wouldn't make a bigger plane for learning. Also there is a market in the world for such a plane while a twin engine trainer size plane can be a total failure because lack of demand. The name Hürjet maybe confusing but I meant Hürjet-2 as a plane...

You can make your Hürjet optionally manned. If the mission is more like bombing certain targets your unmanned Hürjet can do that very well but if the mission requires decision making or management of drones in a fleet then you can fly manned. In any case you have the engine to make the plane...

Turkish Airforce want what Turkish industry makes.

The engine is in the making, you can make it as you wish. You can make 2 versions of it, it won't take too long. Their difference will probably only mean a 5% extra work.

Making the engine world class and making it usable are two different things. You can only sell world class engines to foreign users but you can use a usable engine yourself.

Because it is really not easy to do that; it is only an intention and nothing is guarantied therefore it was only mentioned once or twice and was not dwelled on.

There isn't an official date as it is a development project but we can work around dates that can be derived from some given dates. If the delivery to Indonesia is for 2032 it makes sense to think delivery to the TurAF would be around 2030 and a couple dozen be delivered before Indonesia order...

Curious if the engine will first run as an afterburner engine or a version of it that will run without an afterburner will precede the afterburner engine. With the smaller TF6000 series the TF10000 engine only emerged after the TF6000 engine was made. It made sense as the slower engine would be...

TB3 engine still has potential to go to higher power levels if you accept a shorter lifetime, so going from 196hp to 216 adding another 20hp may make what it may fall short of achieving today achievable in the future. Loading less fuel when the mission allows has the same effect.

There must be some unsung hero engines powering the smaller drones coming out recently, I hope we see some of them at the SAHA Expo in the coming weeks.

You can determine a market value by comparison but it is not readily available in listings showing market valuation. It is only relevant when people can buy company stock. Otherwise there are other companies than TAI to take into consideration, there are like a dozen multi billion dollar defence...

TAI is not in the stock market, only Aselsan is, so we have no idea how much TAI is worth. Same for other Turkish defence companies.

Aselsan is at 12th position among stock market defence companies but the companies ahead of it were at the same size as Aselsan is now just a year back. I can imagine Aselsan to climb up to 7th position over time under favorable conditions.

Once we have the TF35k engine a single engine fighter may be a natural consequence

Indonesia may join the TB3 deck party

It would be great if they go into EMALS system deployment from the getgo and they can make a smaller version for planes upto 15 tons which will cover up to a naval Hürjet. Once time bocomes right to upgrade a 35 ton model can be made to possibly fly a naval Kaan or a possible other large plane.
