Any VTOL can be expected from TAI including a jet fighter at this stage. However we can rule out very smal ones like Baykar DIHA and similar size. Probably one with an MTOW of 300+ kg is a useful one with available propulsion options.
Block 30 and biock 40 would be with domestic engine as the engine will have likely been matured by then. However earlier stages will need to go with the best engine available at the time. If foreign engine is better then foreign and if early Kaan engine is better then national engine would be used.
We still need to observe justice otherwise people pickup arms to find justice. We are in a strong position to eliminate the underlying reason that causes terror. If terror insists on lingering we will go heavy handed. But we want to find peace and eliminate our weaknesses so that we can realize...
This name resonates with me as I personally had a Yakut Project of my own. I literally tried to make ruby in my senior year in high school. But I got one of the ingredients wrong and I only had budget for one go.
I remember all these but I can't argue with "The additive technologies are not currently used in the manufacturing of HP turbine blades" arguement as I can't verify it at the moment. I remember that TEI achieved like 102% the quality of casting with additive and they are in the process of...
I think TEI can make compressor blisks very well already by CNC machining. For turbine blades different technologies will give different performance levels at varying costs and production lead times. So having several different technologies going will be adventageus.
One consideration about the Kaan engine development is whether TEI will employ the latest generation of turbine blade technology that they are working on or they will try out the previous generations that they already managed to make first. That is if they will employ single chrystal casting...
I feel confident TEI can deliver these requirements by '28. The engine's structural strength would be guarantied first, thrust level would be next. TBO hours would be stabilized at a respectable number going towards deployment.
China had problems manufacturing turbine blades at a good yield...
So the plan is to go with foreign engines for the prototypes and make the 20 block 10 planes with foreign engines if there are foreign engines available and introduce national engines when foreign engines are no longer available no matter what level of maturity is achieved with the national...
If we don't get foreign engines for Hürjet and Kaan we speed up the Kaan engine development and also make a better F16 with this engine which can compansate for our loss of opportunity more than enough.
