A similar statement was made a couple of months ago but was overlooked by Defencehub. Also SSB chief Haluk Görgün stated that they intend to start serial production of Kaan with the domestic engine.
This statement maybe new as the third sentence was not part of the previous statement.
We can afford to change power turbine blades every 2000 hours let alone 4000
Test production of super-alloys developed locally have already been in the 2023 reports
I have to admit that some of the problems we need to solve as humans and not expect machines to solve them for us. We don't need so many flight hours on the initial incarnation of the TF35k engine, we just need it to be acceptably good like above 2000 hours and it will be a good start.
Some...
If it wasn't for the fervent discussion we wouldn't have a new member among us today and we wouldn't hear what news he had to say, like the Kaan engine factory, right.
There was news again recently about the materials to be also used in the making of the Kaan engine being trialed. I said test parts. Even there is no news pointers it is safe to think there must be parts making trials if not making the actual parts to be used. It is not much different making the...
You probably were surprised with Kaan flying too.
It is okay to take your time with a first engine, the platforms the engine is meant to power are already flying with another engine after all, why bother rushing it. It is okay to make the TF10000 stay in the pipeline for as much as you want as...
Computer simulation was reinvented after 2010, things evolve faster than ever before. it is blindness not to see that things made in the last couple of decades are far superior to ones made in the decades before. Just as an example.
F110 > TIT of 1510 °C delivered 1980s
F119 > TIT of 1649 °C...
F110 engine is an older design while TF35000 is a modern design made up to today's requirements. Even if we achieve 85-90% of the design performance level it is better than the F110 engine.
We made the TS1400 blades and the engine is ripe for mass production
We did the first run with the TF6000/TF10000 blades
We started making test parts for the upcoming TF350000 Kaan engine
What comes next in this sequence of milestones is the completion of making the parts required for the...
We have accomplished the power turbine blade metallurgy, what else do you need to know to believe that we are very close to making capable turbine blades. It is easy to believe what you see but it will be too late to make plans based on it.
