    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    F35 is powered by a single engine that runs hot. This engine had wear problems because of this. On the other hand Kaan is powered by twin engines which don't have to run that hot as their combined power is more than enough to power the plane. As both the plane and the engine are still in...

    TR Small Aerial Drones & Loitering Ammunitions

    A second use for Skydagger technology can be civilian drones for industrial and recreational use. As this brand does innovation like target locking which the market dominating Chinese DJI Company is known for. I don't expect STM to target the civilian market but Skydagger surely fit the role.

    FRT forced reset trigger for rapid firing is different from the notorious auto sears. It is an aftermarket modified trigger and they made some for Canik pistols. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto_sear 8

    TR Attack & Utility Helicopter Programs

    Unlike passenger planes helicopters mostly serve inside the jurisdiction of a single country and don't travel from country to country so it is easier for a foreign user to accept Gökbey by just trusting the engineering quality of Turkish aerospace products and the flight hours under their belt.

    That plane would be a twin engine version of Anka3. Akıncı is meant to be slower at half of that speed. However there is project to make a larger Akıncı with the TEI TS1400 engine.

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    Fast tract is when you contract time, it is not like you have to let the project age naturally, you take faster steps to maturation. Also the engine might be slated for a later date for maturation but once you reach a point in the process where your engine has already past the performance levels...

    It depends, if foreign engine does not arrive local engine can be fast tracked, I don't see a roadblock on this path.
