Uh, according to my sources it is not temporary or non-functional. You can see that gear position is different compared to other aircraft. TF-X gear placement is more similar to F-15s. Panels fold back again

No, it does have retractable gear

Just some maintenance flights or modifications and progress?

LPI

Also, do we have cooled LWIR sensors with good pixel quality and pitch? As we would need it for the IRST

At least ASELSAN kind of finished the work for 10micrometer ones, i guess they would be working on 7.5 after sorting 10micrometer into serial production, maybe near end of this year. Also i have heard that ASELSAN had completed first EO systems for TF-X, my best bet is the ones from NAR MCT...

This means that TF-X empty airframe is lighter than F-22s, considering that TF-X is bigger than F-22, this is really impressive. Congrats to TAI

7.5mm thick panel part is probably for X band, as it is the most optimal thickness for it

They are guesses, also for 0.3 seems like they guessed as 0.1 (which makes more sense) but used 0.3 to "guarantee"

No AESA?

i mean it didn't seem ugly to me

Why ugly tho 😅

And so? It is not like firms just give all the information, this one is for training just 2 engineers

ToT doesn't always mean all the tech

The problem is they can end up in financial problems, (or delays) We need additional funds, not fully state funded

Keep in mind that Hürjet is still very much indigenous, lot less foreign parts compared to other countries

We should keep in mind that sadly these projects are not because of state or government, but companies and their leading team. it is sad to see that most of aviation projects are not state funded

i think TB-3 project was started by Baykar itself, as a "what could we do?"

That's also how its happening with T/FA-50, they couldn't sell to some countries because of US
