TCG Anadolu should never have been built. We are not a rich nation to splash cash at such extravagant platforms. We do not have cash rich big brothers like Egypt has. Bayraktar/Sancaktar class LSTs would have sufficed for our needs. At less than half the price of an LHD like Anadolu and much...

If it is AI-25 it is a medium bypass turbofan engine with a bypass ratio of 2.0:1 Bayraktar MIUS (KE) uses the same engine; AI25-TLT if I am not mistaken. AI-322 is a lower bypass turbofan with a bypass ratio of 1.19:1. Both engines with slightly higher bypass ratios than most low bypass...

Happy 23 April to all. National Sovereignty and Children’s Day. 103 years ago Türkiye became free and a new democratic state was formed. First Grand National Assembly of modern Türkiye was opened.

İ have a feeling that Mr Kotil said that to appease masses that are speed mad in most defence circles. Anka-3 is a flying wing design, specifically produced in this manner to achieve stealth and good lift for deep strike capability in to enemy territory. Even though theoretically possible; No...

If that is the case, then things have progressed quick and they have had no set backs. My initial thoughts were of engines being fitted in to serial production units. But if these are integration of trial engines then it is speedy progress as originally they were planning integration in 2024...

You are probably correct. According to below article the Batu tank engine trials were to be started soon. That was in late 2022. So it is logical to have an engine or two fitted in to a tank and start trials. If so that is fairly good and quick progress...

I will play the devil’s advocate; That isn’t enough to say the engine is Turkish. This Doosan engine below shows different parts to the Doosan engine you have shared. More like the so called BMC engine. Until there is a label we can see, the origin of engine is still contentious. Top Turkish...

This option allows for STOVL operation as well as conventional CATOBAR on angled runway albeit being a tad intrusive with STOVL operation. For aircraft recovery it is the safest route. But needs a lot of reconfiguration of flight deck. If a lot of aircraft is to be stationed on the ship...

2x10000lbf engined version of KE will probably be the pinnacle of our UCAV projects in this decade. With a dry thrust of 12000lbf in total, the engines should impart a capability to achieve supersonic flight without afterburners to the aircraft, as well as improving MTOW performance. Due to the...

Happy Eid/Ramadan Bayram to all our members. May you celebrate this religious festival happily with your family now and for many years to come.

There is a terminology as useful load. This include fuel and payload as well. But if you are quoting useful payload, then that does not include fuel.

If memory serves, this was the mock up of an unmanned battery powered t-629 helicopter project that did not go any further than what you see in this picture. There were 2 variants ; an unmanned electric variant as per picture above. And a conventional variant as per picture below.

630km/hr is a descent speed for any jet at such low level. OK the plane is empty. But it also has an engine which only gives a thrust of 3800lbf. When the AI-322F with 5500lbf thrust engine starts to power this bird, it will show it’s real mettle. When TF6000 is ready it will show it’s low...

They have parallel runways. But only one has ski lift. Take off and landing has to be done in turns If this is kept. But they have options to convert.

Both UK carriers have two parallel runways with already installed facilities to accommodate CATOBAR operation of fixed wing aircrafts should the need arise. So The carriers, expected to remain in service for fifty years, were designed for but not with catapults and arrestor wires. Making them...

I have watched some of it. That lady is so annoying. She doesn’t know how to let another person talk. I couldn’t bear it. There is some information that is a bit far fetched and hard to believe too. I couldn’t catch the bit with sub communications. 49 minutes is too much with that lady there!

As you would know it is almost near impossible to communicate with submerged submarines. There are various methods to relay communication and small data packages in digital form by way of VLF and buoys placed in the seas etc. But the MIT Media Lab has now come up with a novel idea to...

Professor Aksit openly stated that TEI is in a position to manufacture a 35000lbf class engine like F119 which has a dry thrust of 26000lbf. But in order to get to that goal they are in the process of manufacturing TF6000 which will be a stepping stone for the 35K turbofan. An engine can be...
