What is holding you from adding hours to a plane's life, it is your plane that you have made.

You can invest more on the one platform you have and take every pilot and every engineer in to top shape and the plane itself with continuous development rather than losing time with special training planes and you are better off. I know it hasn't been like this so far, I can tell you that as I...

That saves you from developing or buying separate planes for training. Combined with the fact that simulators can play a big role in training and the fact that national planes comes cheaper than imported ones when they are made in big numbers. And planes having smarts to not put the plane in...

I am talking about a highly automated plane training the trainee, like when Kaan can fly itself it can fly the trainee alone, eliminating the need for a separate jet trainer.

You can achieve all of these with a training mode on a modern aircraft. No teacher pilot on board with only the trainee flying means an unmanned trainer. You can ask a newer plane to act as a lesser airplane for training purposes. In today's world where we are just transitioning into a plane...

It is you who missing the point, there is a big market that KAI have not been able to capture which may be addressed by TAI.

You spread all you want but KAI can have a hard time. You are not the elephant, are you.

Obviously not all users want to by Korean. That elephant in the room need to chill and chose a corner of the room to sit rather than spreading all over the place.

The TF6000 and the TF10000 engines can be hastened, so do the planes that are supposed to us them. Engines can fly 2025-2026 probably. If these planes prove to be productive in a short timeframe then numbers of production can soar and we never look back.

They are reporting 4nm now.

That's because ASML will not supply spare parts and maintenance to China anymore. Türkiye did not have a chip-making ecosystems other than for low production runs. Once we start building that echo system we will know if the west will cooperate or not, but we need to prepare for the worst.

I don't know how my post ends up being in Turkish :unsure: , anyway Gebze is nextdoor to Istanbul and is like an extension of the city, so. I am talking about Qatar partnership for 65 nm chips. I would say it should be for a rather small capacity investment but still beyond prototyping. If...

There is another effort for a fab in Istanbul that is supposed to open earlier but there is no news about it. If Aselsan is working on a DUV machine the opening of the Ankara fab maybe in synch with the availability of the Aselsan machine.

We don't know the actual reason. It is probably because of supply chain issues rather than the maturing.

Looking at how rapidly Hürjet is maturing a twin engine version will probably mature just as fast. Kaan is twin engine, pilots should be trained on a twin engine aircraft.

If exports to Ukraine is in question hi-specs of Kızılelma can be delayed until large number procurement by TurAF comes up as Ukraine needs whatever is available. Also Ukraine models can be provided without Türkiye specific requirements. Same specs may apply for exports to other countries than...

We already have a minimum of two engine makers. The second one being Kale, and they are already planning to make small jet and turbofan engines for business jets. Do you guys have objection to that. I haven't heard any. Companies want to make engines spending from their own pockets. More and...

Countries want to have more than just one engine developer. USA deliberately picks two engine makers for planes like the F16. Competition is always good when the competitors are willing to compete. And it is fantastic to have a competitor who wants to compete.

Not just for testing purposes, isn't it already obvious. You want to use the Kaan engine on other platforms too. Instead of using it on a manned fighter it makes sense to use it on a larger unmanned fighter as the future of fighters is likely to be unmanned. Manned fighters would be twin engined...

TF35000 engine can be flown on a Kızılelma of a suitable size and you don't wait years for the engine to be useful. Once the engine runs reliably for an unmanned plane it can power a single engine unmanned plane provided that the plane is mature enough to carry such an expensive engine. Early...
