    This ratio has been around 67% for ages. 90% is a dream come true. Of course we want better but we also need to remember where we have been before. Turkey also has revenue from tourism, construction work abroad, expat money transfers and such to make ends meet.

    Once I came across to Haluk Bayraktar and I asked him if there is any work towards electrification and he simply answered "electric has 30 times less power for the same weight". It is as simple as that.

    For people who are considering multicopter type VTOL vehicles for military operations I want to point out a few things to make the situation clear. 1- They are more silent then a helicopter which is their main benefit. 2- They run on electric which is cheaper than fossil fuel Other benefits...

    It was a mistake to leave Turkey out of Mideast gas club -- Shaffer

    Turkey's cooperation with Israel is only possible when Israel gives up on their expansionist ambitions. I don't see it happening anytime soon. Israel has always been the only enemy of Turkey in the past couple of centuries. Even when the relations were close it only benefited Israel and...

    If it will be 3000 tons then it will be 77.25 meters long and 7.2m wide if it will have similar aspect ratio to the Reis class..

    COVID-19

    I think there must be a balance between cause and response, there is no point in alarming people. I have never been tested but I know I have been down with Covid-19. It was around the end of October last year, I met a long lost neighbor and junior of mine from school who came from abroad, from...

    COVID-19

    "Hi, my name is Corona, how are you?". At some point along the pandemic timeline, I wanted to say these words, LOL. Death numbers are what shows it all. Second comes active cases which are people under healthcare. As long as active cases don't turn into casualties, it's fine.

    GE Aviation Completes Critical Design Review for T901 Turboshaft Engine

    It is also about time when TEI consider making turboprop models from the turboshaft cores to be used on propeller planes. Like Hürkuş and a possible twin engine model for both military and civilian uses. And of course for UAVs. This can double the power of turboprop planes like Akıncı and...

    UAVs have already taken over most of the job of slow manned planes. I am wondering if UAVs can be useful in Somalian situation. As they are easy to use and affordable.

    TR Aircraft Carrier & Amphibious Ship Programs

    The industry has not sorted that out yet for VTOL aircraft. There is not a single deployment .eVTOLs are sensitive to weight unlike airplanes. But for helicopters they have already tried adding electric motor to the mix giving a pilot 30 seconds extra time to pull off autorotation in case of...

    This plane was experimental and doesn't seem to have worked. Engine exhausts are very long. Fans are in the wings. A recipe for failure.

    Harrier's engine is hard to make. But a slower plane can be made with a helicopter engine. One that flies at like 60% the speed of a Harrier.

    Atmaca will give additional ground to ground precision hit capability to army forces. Although the expected Gezgin cruise missile will be the main maneuverable strike force of the army, development will take sometime. Therefore a ground to ground version of the already developed anti-ship...

    One expects a swept wing to go supersonic. This is to avoid the cone of sonic boom at wingtips. But the engines can support supersonic flight given that the design allows it.

    No it's not. It is high subsonic at altitude at best. However its engine type lends itself to being supersonic.
