Small money can get companies a long way but the government has to be more generous supporting startups. They must be thinking that new designs are copies of old designs and have no value. I am disappointed not having been able to find $30k for building my innovative little personal helicopter...
My father spent more than three hours waiting to get on board, I should have tried harder to stop him from going to visit her the first day of her port call.
When there are governors who make a show of things that they haven't done, how would anyone deny a show of cutting edge technology that have been made perfectly. TFX deserves a brilliant show of roll out.
Mr Kotil talking about historical fighter jet developments told reporters to forget about past examples and made gestures with his hand showing they and the modern world aviation industry are doing the same developments on a tiny budget and miniscule timeframes thanks to modern design software...
For clarification
"30 cm altı"
resolution < 30 cm under 30 cm resolution, like 29, 28, 27, 26 cm or less
The smaller the number the higher the resolution.
I would say a larger plane than Hürjet but not necessarily the TFX. It could be a single engine F16 size plane as well, as the TFX is a little too large for carrier operations unless they heavily rely on AI to optimize its operation aboard the ship.
If TEI will be able to deliver the TFX engine in 5 years from now they should as well work on an aeroderivative engine for navy ships including the planned carrier ships.
And Mrs Akşener was thinking KK is unlikely to win, shame on her. The truth is although RTE won all the elections he entered and KK lost all the elections he entered there is something different this time and KK wins against RTE by a 10% points margin. Lets just wait and see then.
Türkiye has more interests in places than its continuous waters alone. You want to transfer your technological capabilities to your power projection abilities. We are not afraid of troubles when we need to protect our interests.
My suggestion for a full size carrier with two copies
55k ton displacement
275m length
Gas turbine / electric propulsion
With fighters
TB3
Kızılelma
Anka3
Hürjet
Kızılelma 2 (twin engine)
Single TFX engine fighter
I am thinking HMS Queen Elizabeth's 65.000 ton weight is as far as it goes with an aero-derivative petrol burning engine readily available. Beyond this point you would need nuclear propulsion. She is using 2x 36 MW turbines for power generation if we follow a similar path we can power a 55k ton...
President Erdoğan says "one times bigger" which means twice the size. TCG Anadolu is 27436 tonnes so we are talking about 55000 tonnes. I take this as a balpark value and give it 10k tonnes which gives 65k tonnes which is the weight of HMS Queen Elizabeth.
