They are not building the engine. The project is not that far along. Considering its peers(WS-15, F119, F135) took at least 15 years to be develop by the two superpowers, it would be quite extraordinary even if we put the engine in service as early as 2033.

Ready for what? Service?

If we don't see KAAN on the runway in a couple of days then it's highly unlikely for it to make its first flight this year.

What's the largest forging press in India? Has there been any consideration of 3D printing the bulkheads? TAI is using Sciaky Electron Beam printers to make the titanium bulkheads. It should be sufficient to reach the required mechanical specs for the material...

Additional info: 160 CATS have been produced so far with monthly production rate of 15-20. 60 of them were exported. Aselflir-500 value per kg is $20k

It's being tested on the bench and it'll fly next year

Mojave's MTOW is 3000 kg(2 times the TB3's) and its engine produces 450 hp(2 times the power output of PD222, 2x225hp). If we assume the requirements are changing linearly for small differences then PD222 makes more sense. It's oversimplified but gives the ballpark.

Last 40mins till launch The streams with commentary:

Their production rate is so high that they could throw ten launches at it if necessary. They produce multiple raptor a day and test them till they break in McGregor facility. They could launch it and put the second stage into orbit very soon. Orbital refueling and the catching mechanism of the...
