Not really, "we will fly with our own engine in 2028" may mean the engine will have been qualified for mass production by then as well. Combine this with the statement of the SSB Chief Haluk Görgün "We intend to make the engine ready in time for mass production".

A few years down the road there maybe other offerings on the table for a fighter, when you have engines you can make various planes.

I am not referring to early stage alone, in the long run more countries can be expected to join.

Pakistan will only need Kaan should India have stealth fighters. Malaysia can certainly buy some Kaan but in limited numbers. I would expect gulf countries to join in at later stages.

USA has 4 times the population and will not hesitate piling even more debt to be in #1 position while we will only care to grow in a natural and easy way.

Temel Kotil also says "we are #11th exporter of defence products in the world and what becomes Türkiye is to be #5th" which means ; USA, France, Russia, China, Türkiye. I would say Russia and France keep their positions because of relations with their past customers. Otherwise Türkiye can even...

Mini in project volume maxi in impact.

That would be 6000 lb = 2721 kg

I am not aware of the threats Bangladesh is facing but the cost and availability of things may present attractive opportunities.

TF10000 is not the Kaan engine TF35000 is.

A similar statement was made a couple of months ago but was overlooked by Defencehub. Also SSB chief Haluk Görgün stated that they intend to start serial production of Kaan with the domestic engine. This statement maybe new as the third sentence was not part of the previous statement.

Naayır, nolamaz! No way!

We can afford to change power turbine blades every 2000 hours let alone 4000 Test production of super-alloys developed locally have already been in the 2023 reports

I have to admit that some of the problems we need to solve as humans and not expect machines to solve them for us. We don't need so many flight hours on the initial incarnation of the TF35k engine, we just need it to be acceptably good like above 2000 hours and it will be a good start. Some...

If it wasn't for the fervent discussion we wouldn't have a new member among us today and we wouldn't hear what news he had to say, like the Kaan engine factory, right.

I already said "yes", meaning I do believe Kaan's engine will be flying on Kaan in 2028.

Yes, but speak for yourself when saying not surprized.

There was news again recently about the materials to be also used in the making of the Kaan engine being trialed. I said test parts. Even there is no news pointers it is safe to think there must be parts making trials if not making the actual parts to be used. It is not much different making the...

You probably were surprised with Kaan flying too. It is okay to take your time with a first engine, the platforms the engine is meant to power are already flying with another engine after all, why bother rushing it. It is okay to make the TF10000 stay in the pipeline for as much as you want as...
