The drone's name is Sivrisinek and while it means mosquito in English mosquito is not Sivrisinek's name. There is a well known helicopter brand overseas with the name Mosquito.

With devastating consequences like burying Kaan before it even became a thing.

Türkiye Egypt relations wouldn't be any better in any case. Keeping a distance made Egypt explore its options before looking back to Türkiye.

Snecma M88 achieves 1577 °C with air cooled, ceramic coated, single crystal turbine blades made from a new AM1 alloy (N-18 alloy in the final production engines), So it is reasonable to consider matching this performance level for the TF35k engine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snecma_M88...

Alloys' performance stops improving at around 1400 °C and additional performance is achieved mostly through cooling. Small blades offer little real estate to implement cooling and larger blades can host more cooling features hence deliver better peak performance. Also 5 years passed since the...

This is my guess based on the performance levels of some modern day engines shown in the table below. I would expect a threshold level be passed with the TF35k engine.

There are more news in the post over the info at the link, like implementation on rig level and engine level. TS1400 engine implementation was earlier and probably some of the complementary technologies like cooling holes were not fully implement on it as those turbine blades are tiny. TF10k...

There must be something new about this as TEI posted this piece of news, probably implementation on real engines. Otherwise why this news now, am I missing something?

TEI considers this a done deal. This tech combined with other complementary technologies like coatings and cooling features will probably already get us to 1580+°C TIT level. This piece of news brings more confidence in the timely making of the TF35k engine by TEI and partners. This level can...

For the missile to carry its weight against gravity it has to generate lift using its small wings and its exhaust hot stream. The hot stream needs to have some downward push to generate lift hence needs some angle. Its wings can generate lift at between 0 to 15 degrees of angle also depending on...

I don't look up to Hitler but I look up to big militaries who went up from 300 meter long carriers to 333 meter ones for better seakeeping. Who am I to judge their decisions.

Why ask for less instead of more, I never get it.

We don't need to copy everything other navies are doing we only have a limited coverage

The main difference between 5th gen and 6th gen planes is the rudderless airframe. I am sure they are brainstorming some designs already. When the 6th gen plane becomes a necessity everything will probably be ready to start building one.

That's why I said the requirement is what is missing, meaning we don't need it. But this is for the time being. If comes an enemy who targets us from a distance we will certainly need the best we can make. Also having the technology and not needing to use it is a small development cost to pay...

That role was set in a different world, we need to adapt to a world that is based on speed of adaptation. I accepted there can be a small risk but you can as well eliminate the risk by limiting operations to calm weather. The opportunities are huge when you make it happen. Going forward we...
