I don't mean for testing I mean before the engine is matured to a human rated state it can be used to power a twin engine 35 ton stealth bomber. One might argue that we don't have a big use case for it but if we are not paying top dollar for them we might as well make them as they can be top...
I wasn't serious about the budget cut, I just used it as the only plausible excuse, feigning ignorance, you normally want a big plane carrying big loads.
It is naive to think that Türkiye is treated the same as any other nation, Türkiye is the only independent country in the western hemisphere other than the US who also has some conflict of interests. A US general once said they desperately need to give F35 to Türkiye. It may be a commodity for...
You are right, F35 couldn't step in Türkiye even if it weren't for the S400, there are more conditions for it than just the S400.
There are many downsides of the F35 that even close allies have already realized. And the threats are multiplied for Türkiye as Türkiye is one of the very few...
S400 is already protecting Türkiye from the lethal F35; if it weren't for the S400 F35 could step in Türkiye and cause some damage that will not be immediately detectable as it is a latent damage that we will suffer from in the future. Russia has no interest waging a war with Türkiye and China...
My own computer, calculations are made based on the data from the top500 computers list shared by the institution.

Türkiye's position in the top 500 supercomputers list. TAI's 20.000 + 50.000 core computers are somehow not on this list. Also 70.000 core access to the Barcelona based EU MareNostrum 5 Consortium computer is not accounted for when calculating Türkiye's computing power. I think a distributed...
Working does not mean wotking well. I already had read about this when it first came out but I never thought it would be useful. Supercavitation requires speeds of in excess of 90 kmh which takes lots of energy to achieve. I have been looking at airfoils and Cl/Cd charts in the last few days...
