TS1400 carries 14 humans, Hürjet only carries one or two.
It is not that that you have to age the materials that depends on time it is only about the learning curve, if you experiment and learn quicker you can make the engine quicker. We know how quick Baykar has been in learning. If we were...
I would stick with 5. Once the inhuman engine is made it can go to a human rated version on a fast track, it only takes like 100 engine orders to make if profitable.

As TEI have been working on several project that will use the super-alloy technology one can consider that they are working on these alloys day and night. They will probably not be advertising what the latest achievement is however helicopter engines actually may not be using the latest alloys...
We wouldn't be able to do shit without the Brits, if we believed some comments made at the time, there is no denial.
Türkiye have overachived skeptics' predictions time and time again.
Mr. Akşit said some detail design work and some detail calculations are still ongoing. However the parts that design works have been completed for should be in the process of manufacturing already. How long the manufacturing will take is guesswork at best. My guess is we can hear some roaring in...
Of course it is not disclosed but one can tell the similarities between the looks of the TM100 engine and the engine that can be seen in the video. Check out the comparison below. There is no such level of resemblance with the Rotax engine.
Engines suitable for Light Sport Aircraft use.
If the Baykar TM100 engine gets customized for LSA use rather than MALE tactical drone use it can be a good competitor in the market

Bailing out is acceptable in training but not in show or in mission. And obviously it is not the equipment failing but the timing of the pilot being off some. Even that is questionable as we don't really see how close the plane actually was to the ground, you can see the plane going past the...
Helicopters can be shot down easily. A plane expands the reach very much. With satcom or an AI autopilot you can reach thousands of kilometers. There can always be circumstances where you can use extra reach. Anyway, it is an easy capability to have.
They lack payload capacity or range. A helicopter lacks range and endurance, Baykar DİHA lacks payload and it is unarmed. A TB2 with the new engine is allegedly capable of 300 kmh speed. It does not happen often but an Ada class or an Istif class ship for example, lets say one that is off the...
Ada class ships have 56 kmh top speed. A typical plane with 600 km MTOW has a stall speed of 74 kmh. TB2 has 700 MTOW. What if TB2 gets modified to stall at 55 kmh. Can the TB2 take off from and land on the helicopter deck of a warship? Can a custom made speedboat deploy and pickup the TB2? Is...
