    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    Some materials that go into the production of Kaan may be hard to source, like the rare earth minerals and such. So even if you figure out how to make things you are still resource constrained to increase numbers. Unless you go into making everything yourself which also takes lots of time or...

    So TEI will send the engines to the manifacturers; this means both TUSAŞ and Baykar will get the TF6000 engines in 8 months or so. Kızılelma might be running both the TF6k and TF10k in this case. TF10k will have its first ignition by end of 2027 this means roughly by end of 2028 we can expect...

    Using the TS1400 engine domestically on a civilian helicopter would only require SHGM certification if they actually had the process.

    I have no idea, it is not made public yet. If they are not in a hurry they may go for it, if it ever happens.

    I have mapped out the long journey but the map got deleted before saying that it is absurd, like they had to.

    2 years max if you really want it, I can tell from the Şimşek-1 space launch rocket program where the rocket is a 29 meter long 2.2 meter diameter beast and is expected for 2027. Yıldırımhan estimated specifications (by comparison to its equivalents in the world) Length: 15 meter Diameter...

    Minister Güler: “We have produced six GÜÇHAN turbofan engines.” This may only mean they have made 6 builds. Remember Mr. Mahmut Akşit mentioned that they probably need to make 15 builds before they are done with developing the TF35k engine. So they probably got to like 40% of the way to a...

    It is unbelievable there is development work outside the oversight of SSB as they are the body that plans and budgets development work and finances them. No wonder even Eray Güçlüer couldn't comment on MSB Arge's work and was like shocked.

    Undecided, it is like a 10% chance that they have nailed major aspects of the engine and need to work on some other aspects. Even if they are on the right path it can take decades more for something to come out as they don't have the required credentials for a capable design house and production...

    Probably for stuff that will go into the European market. If MSB Arge could pull off a larger engine why not Baykar make its own.
