Making the engine world class and making it usable are two different things. You can only sell world class engines to foreign users but you can use a usable engine yourself.
Because it is really not easy to do that; it is only an intention and nothing is guarantied therefore it was only mentioned once or twice and was not dwelled on.
There isn't an official date as it is a development project but we can work around dates that can be derived from some given dates. If the delivery to Indonesia is for 2032 it makes sense to think delivery to the TurAF would be around 2030 and a couple dozen be delivered before Indonesia order...
Curious if the engine will first run as an afterburner engine or a version of it that will run without an afterburner will precede the afterburner engine.
With the smaller TF6000 series the TF10000 engine only emerged after the TF6000 engine was made. It made sense as the slower engine would be...
TB3 engine still has potential to go to higher power levels if you accept a shorter lifetime, so going from 196hp to 216 adding another 20hp may make what it may fall short of achieving today achievable in the future. Loading less fuel when the mission allows has the same effect.
There must be some unsung hero engines powering the smaller drones coming out recently, I hope we see some of them at the SAHA Expo in the coming weeks.
You can determine a market value by comparison but it is not readily available in listings showing market valuation. It is only relevant when people can buy company stock. Otherwise there are other companies than TAI to take into consideration, there are like a dozen multi billion dollar defence...
Aselsan is at 12th position among stock market defence companies but the companies ahead of it were at the same size as Aselsan is now just a year back. I can imagine Aselsan to climb up to 7th position over time under favorable conditions.
It would be great if they go into EMALS system deployment from the getgo and they can make a smaller version for planes upto 15 tons which will cover up to a naval Hürjet. Once time bocomes right to upgrade a 35 ton model can be made to possibly fly a naval Kaan or a possible other large plane.
America is the biggest gun market, such incidents won't shake it one bit. And actually nobody talked about gun ownership yet, all the talk is about ball rooms.
I don't know how they find those news, but it is absolutely more appropriate for the Japanese Navy to go for the TB3 as they have the ships that can benefit from it while their army can find other makers for the role of the TB2. We may be waiting longer to find out the truth of the matter but it...
Users want to maintain technological edge over the competition, if it makes sense for them they will bear the cost and ante up the money. Countries that can source the raw materials that go into making of the high end alloys domestically can use them to be on top of the game. The cost is only a...
TS1400 helicopter engine uses the first generation of TEI single crystal blade technology and TF35000 engine will use the TEI third generation single crystal technology.
