If this engine is really capable of developing 1000HP power, then why not turn this in to an electrodiesel and use it in a hybrid configuration with a 7-800 HP Lithium/Ion battery pack, to drive a 75 ton tank? No transmission and enormous torque with silent running when needed as well!

Even if the runway is moved toward port side where the left wing overhangs a bit, it is not possible for Anka, Aksungur and Akinci to land or take off from TCG Anadolu as there just isn’t enough clearance for safe movement on deck and in lifts unless wings are fully collapsible. Also I don’t see...

Quote: And then i remember this project which literally pulled some budget from SSB and Tübitak for R&D and gave nothing in return: unquote. @anmdt , Watozz or whatever it was called was a project by a private company. This is the brainchild of Tubitak-Mam. Totally different scenario...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/gemisavar-fuze-motoru-tj300-test/ MRAShM engine TJ300 has undergone a set of new tests on it’s way to being used in the medium range missiles for the Turkish navy platforms and navy helicopters. As well as replacing the ageing Penguin missiles fired from Seahawk...

Tubitak Mam has done it again. It looks like Turkish subs will be able to stay under water a good deal longer than previously planned. They claim to have doubled the duration under water for Reis. Gur, Preveze and Ay class submarines. Somehow they have increased the capability of the subs to...

If you read my post a second time you will see that ; I may have reservations but with Akinci ever evolving like TB2 (remember how TB2 suffered in it’s early days in Syria with enemy electronic interference) , we should see this UAV to be quite beneficial. Proof of the pudding is in the eating...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/seri-uretim-bayraktar-akinci/ Akinci’s serial production No1 is getting ready to join the ranks. No2,3&4 are in the pipeline too, according to the reports coming in. Does any one know if these are going to be with 2x750 HP Ukrainian engines or with PD 170/PD 222...

Do you not think that everyone is overlooking the conditions of sale of these ships to the scrapyard? If memory serves right, there is a clause in the sales conditions, that these ships can only be used for scrapping. Recommissioning or re using them for military is absolutely forbidden. Aliaga...

https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/aviation/a29626363/f-35-cheap/ In a way, for Turkey to get kicked out of the F35 program is a blessing in disguise. Never mind the ALIS system learning about your flight programme details etc. The main problem would have been the cost of maintaining this...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/som-fuzesi-meteksan-altimetre/ meteksan’s altimeter will be incorporated in to SOM missiles. This could be because there is an embargo on these or simply because it is a superior piece of equipment that the SOM will benefit from. The latter may be the case as this...

Logical! But in order to do said modifications some parts may have to be changed or rebuilt. To do that we should have access to the engine, or better still, produce it under license and alter what needs to be altered.

This is what you are asking! @ #742 you are getting the answer to your question. Assumption is something taken for granted or supposition. This is not so. It is a fact. An engine that is a turboshaft can be easily converted to a turboprop. Instead of driving a rotor it will be driving a...

All these helicopters that use this proposed engine are transport helicopters. They are not attack helicopters. They are not war machines. An attack helicopter’s power requirement is very different to a transport helecopter’s. Sudden acceleration, manoeuvring and gaining altitude. These exert...

@Nilgiri is correct! Turboshaft or turboprop, they are both shaft driven. At shaft level the output of engine power is the same. Power transmitted at the propellers or to rotors level may vary a little bit due to different transmissions and different amounts of power losses. That is all!
