I know that person, Facelessman(a Korean). He has been shitposting about Turkish programs since forever. He was saying that KAAN is a paper plane and can't be flown because the prototype didn't have a pitot tube attached. A nutjub, really. He shouldn't be taken seriously.
So much professed superiority and presumptions but we don't even have a single turbine engine in operation today.
Let's get this straight. We all yearn for the same thing. The fate of KAAN and the nation's independence is contingent on this engine. Any dose of optimism or pessimism does not...
Assuming KAAN's flight cadence is following an S-shaped curve, I will utter a date for its third flight just for the fun of it.
KAAN will perform its third flight on June 12th, five weeks from now. To push the envelope, it will be a 39 min flight.
We can't know the answer to that. It's uncharted territory for us. It could be 4 or 10. We'll have a better idea and do more informed guesses towards the end of this decade.
The foreign investors will rain on us once we have showed solid progress with the TF-35K engine. Without it, KAAN is a high risk project even for us, let alone the not-aligned countries with the US.
SLS flew only once and they want to put astronauts on it its second flight, whereas Musk says Starship must have 100 consecutive successful flights before he can put any human on it.
IMO, SLS will be abandoned in two or three years. One launch of SLS costs $4billion dollars. Artemis has no...
TOGG T10X became the best-selling electric car in April with sales of 3,003 units.
It reached sales of 7 thousand 148 units in 2024, and a total of 26 thousand 731 units.
Natural gas production at Sakarya Gas Field has reached 4.5 million cubic meters a day and the projected daily 10 million cubic meter production will be reached in Q1, 2025 according to the minister of Energy and Natural Resources.
For comparison, in 2023, we consumed about 140 million cubic...
Ceitical Design Review(CDR) of the Block-0 will be held in Q2 of this year and the CDR of Block-10 aircraft will be held in Q3, this year.
Edit: I assumed the CDR in Q2 is for the Block-0. The language that was used is a bit ambiguous for me.
NASA lays out how SpaceX will refuel Starships in low-Earth orbit
"The fundamental flow mechanism is the pressure delta across the umbilical."
Some time next year, NASA believes SpaceX will be ready to link two Starships in orbit for an ambitious refueling demonstration, a technical feat that...
This could be it. It doesn't make sense otherwise. We exported $5.43billions to Israel and imported only $1.64billions in 2023. If the news are true, it will only exacerbate our economic woes.
The tweet was deleted. We should, maybe, not read too much into it. I watched some of the interview. I guess the poster of the tweet has paraphrased Güler's words "Yapıcaz. Yapıcaz." at 17:03 in the video(I timestamped it).
