    General aviation took off after the WW2 when there were plenty of small airplanes and engines made for them were left over from the war.

    Apparently the TF6000 can be used on the Kızılelma if you are OK with subsonic speeds which is acceptable for a first time plane. This will still bring unprecedented capabilities that can patch some of the airforce's shortcomings before Kaan comes online. This engine will be useful for the...

    I hadn't seen this bird until yesterday in an old movie. It may not be competitive in this new world of twin engines with its double twin engines it gave an additional capability to its makers at the time. It is Vickers VC-10 first flown in 1962 and until 1981 taking after the Soviet Ilyushin...

    Who knows maybe China catches up or maybe Airbus grow bigger. Boeing losing deals left and right puts them in a tight spot. Delays of several years is pressure enough to make them compromise.

    Export prices are always higher, twice the local price is probably very cheap and it could probably sell for more. A price that is more attractive than a competing product's price is a good price also comparing quality of products.

    Turns out that TB3 is using a 200hp engine moving up from the 170hp PD170 as their first engine. However as the hp goes up engine life becomes shorter.

    We only need to make sure we can have an early crop of engines that can satisfy basic requirements while they still fall behind the best quality foreign engines.

    We have them because we need them. Somebody must be thinking of a way to stop Türkiye from developing the Kaan by freeing the US from sanctions burden and selling the F35 to Türkiye so that we don't push Kaan hard. Nobody is buying, the world will be a different place after Kaan.

    I think they want to expand maneuvering agility envelope incrementally, why risk a crash rushing testing.
