    Featured Teknofest-2020 News & Discussions

    Most of the stuff that goes on at Technofest are entry level student stuff. However this year there is the Helicopter Design competition which has the potential to bring out innovative stuff that can serve real purposes. Turkish industry has kept working on the acquisition of existing technology...

    I remeber seing it at a trade-show in Istanbul more than 2 years ago. Who could say that it may be of critical importance going forward I would have a closer look if I knew.

    Apparently it is one of the engines studied for the development of TS1400 turbo-shaft helicopter engine. Probably with the combustion chamber common with the now matured TS1400 but the compressor and exhaust are of the type for a jet engine. It sucks air from the front and exhausts the...

    He is definitely not talking about minor changes. He explains things to non-aviators so he oversimplifies. A supersonic plane's wings have to be short and swept like a fighter jet's wings. And the nose of the plane has to be pointy to minimize drag. So expect something of the shape of a fighter...

    I would like to propose a space surveillance radar to track satellite and other spacecraft movement. Considering that several nations have now founded their space forces we should watch out for space-borne hostile activity as well. Also Jamming spacecraft activity should be one of the...

    If you move to east of Marmaris instead of Datça there is unobstructed airspace and the second stage falls in the Indian ocean. I don't know where the second stage falls when you launch into Blacksea. The second stage has been mentioned to fall. I am unaware of the second stage being left in...

    The Turkic World should unite

    We don't need to go that far as to merge nations. All we need to do is make close relations enough to watch each other back and increase wealth. A military pact and common policy in foreign relations is good enough to maximize common strength. Like a tighter knit EU. Or EU with military...

    The Turkic World should unite

    There are Uzbekistan nationals and Turkmenistan nationals living and working in my neighborhood in Istanbul. Another decade and Türkiye can be the pillar nation where other Turkic nations can lean on. It is all up to Türkiye's realization of its potential and strengthening itself to support...

    TR HÜRJET-Advanced Jet Trainer/ Light attack aircraft

    While we still have the F16s they will perfectly do the multi-role missions considering the precision munitions we now have. We rather need a speedy interceptor for close range interception. I would rule out bomber roles and concentrate on interception and close range air dominance. This plane...

    I don't know which way you exactly need to shoot to get to orbit but from what I know it is better to shoot closer to the equator along with the other criteria of watching where your litter will fall. From this knowledge a Datça launch seems to be a more favorable option than a Sinop launch...

    The possible locations where the disposed parts will fall is the major determining factor. Probably a test flight will show where they will land before a permanent launch site can be established.

    Foreign cooperation is a boon at this stage to get past the existing technology acquisition period without a hitch. If we had gone through these stages alone there would be many experimentation steps and possible failures/mishaps before we can fly our first jet successfully for the first time...

    Vestel has to come up with something better than the competition. Initially Vestel was tasked to make a catapult launch shipborne UAV but they failed to deliver. And they wanted to continue development with a classical plane to directly compete with Baykar's TB2. This really didn't serve any...

    With the Bayraktar TB2 payload capacity rated as 150kg I wonder if a smaller sat-com can be fitted in the TB2. Knowing that there are nano satellites with communication capabilities why not an UAV vehicle have a similar small sat-com. Any ideas?

    You will only know that once you try it. Once upon a time there was seaplane trips from Halic/Istanbul to Bodrum (?) and the company ended up with $5mn loss. There were also helicopter shuttles in Istanbul which closed up shop long ago. That Norwegian company I mentioned just because they were...
