Tolga Özbek says the next prototype of Kaan will be slightly shorter and smaller and the nose of the next prototype will see some changes. The current prototype will fly again soon.
1.17 kg/h/daN is sea level SFC unless stated otherwise. It is also mentioned in the infographic as SLS (Sea Level Static, max rpm) so if you put 51kg of fuel and run the engine for 15 minutes Çakır will travel 225km at worst.
When you put 1152 30-watt GaN modules together you will get a better range than your competition. This is physics. Aselsan has vast experience and knowledge of producing radars. I'm not overestimating you guys are underestimating. Canadians did the same things with optics and now Aselsan...
What we don't know is how good "exactly" it is. Like if someone says Murad detects 1 square meter target at 200km i wouldn't oppose it because when I calculate with the data I know about MURAD radar it is a realistic estimation. We know it is better than APG-83 because we know the performance of...
Rookie mistake here. It is per daN per hour. This means KTJ-1750 consumes 204.75 kg per hour(1750N=175 daN, 175*1.17=204.75kg).
Çakır has a speed of 0.75-0.85 mach. This means it can travel 917-1039km per hour. If the engine runs for 15 minutes it will have a 225km range at worst and it will...
Lol Hurjet program is different and has nothing to do with how the Kaan program progresses. Italian companies were a part of the project from the start. It is not the same thing.
You can't fly this fully digital aircraft without a flight computer and you can't buy a flight computer from somewhere and fly your aircraft with it. It doesn't work that way. Probably an early version or another flight computer that is enough to make the first flight is used while the flight...
There are around 30 F-16 block 30s in the inventory of TurAF. 8th aircraft was delivered in July 2021 so even with a snail speed of 1 fighter per month it should be finished by now.
For you yes, for me no.
Anyway here is some news from 2021. It says 8th fighter is delivered

There is no structural mod right now. That project is finished. TAI delivered all of the F-16 block 30s modernized under the structural modernization project.
Yes, the reference target always has a 1m² RCS for Turkish products.
I expect Murad to have a detection range of 150km+ range for 1m² target
Burfis should have 250km+ range for the same target.
For reference, APG-83 has 90km+ detection range for a 1m² target.
This is a difficult question to answer. Given ranges are always rough figures there are so many parameters that affect radar range like;
Radar frequency: Lower the frequency longer the range and X-band covers 8-12GHz and the difference between 8 and 12 is big.
Pulse repetition frequency: Higher...
