You blink and you lose track of what TAI have done lastly.

Is he trying to fly a mock up, it won't work. EDIT: Apparently the flying prototype's got its expected paint job.

TFX engine timeline depends totally on TEI"s performance, they can very well shorten the timeline.

Look ma, no boosters.

SSM seems to be trying to prepare two engines for Kaan like they did for the Altay tank; the Korean engine and the BMC engine. In this case a license built GE engine and a TR-Motor design national engine. In any case an engine made in Türkiye is targeted for the Kaan delivery. I bet the TR-Motor...

If GE gets a deal then RR won't and TR-Motor will.

The flare up wings of the T129 mock-ups and animations now turned straight which look nicer.

İsmail Demir is on guard to keep Kaan grounded until he is ripe enough to fly. Avid pilots and a fledgling fighter mingling is a recipe for unintended action. Pilots can go trigger happy any moment.

Absolutely, there are pitfalls when working with companies of foreign origin. They can not be allowed to be involved in any critical development. Any radar works is definitely off limits for foreign companies. Sierra Nevada owners having Turkish origion has no value in this case.

Kağan is the correct spelling but we can think of the word as a stylized version of it used for practical purposes while actually Turkish language does not use double vowels like aa. I like it.

TFX can be used as a bride's plane then.

I will take them if he says them. Mr Temel Kotil said those words.

He said with a domestic engine but he did not make it clear if it is the TF35k engine or a foreign design made in Türkiye. I will give it 50/50 between the two possibilities.

I would rather take Mr Kotil's words as a credible source as he hasn't failed to keep any of his promises so far.

2028 is the delivery date to the airforce of the TFX powered by the Turkish made engine. It is supposed to be a production engine and not a prototype one.

Magnetic attraction.

12 ton MTOW can mean 30 troops on a T925 from the previous 24.

They X-ray and body search every visitor but not the cavity.

Teknofest is a place where you see people like Tübitak SAGE chief Gürcan Okumuş walking towards you alone casually in the middle of the field or you nod a greeting to DeltaV chief who is standing by one of his rockets indicating you know him and he nodes back. With many industry chiefs present...

Been there today. I almost twisted my ankle tripping over an MDF board left on the ground. If you need to sit down to rest for a moment go to the planetarium dome where they have puffy seats for viewers.
