TFX deserves such a dedicated house for itself.
I am sure other projects get the attention they deserve too. Only someone from TAI can say definite words.
We do not know how much time each plane needs to spend in this station. If they spend a shorter time then more planes can be output from the line. If they spend more time then a smaller number of planes can be output. Additional capacity can always be created by expanding this space or creating...
There is no definition of it but why make different facilities for different phases if this one already meets requirements. They can work 3 shifts if required which is the equivalent of 90 days on station in terms of daytime work alone. I am just speculating.
Production is not for a certain...
I was expecting this, it has been smooth sailing for Türkiye thus far.
One of the hardest parts was the main bulkhead and it was sorted out by using 3D printing I am guessing.
The remaining big challenge should be the alloy of turbine blades on which there is work going on. And sensor fusion can...
I wouldn't say that. Total usefulnes of KE can still be more as it is related to the number built multiplied by effectiveness. Like comparison beyween F22 and F35.
They are probably waiting until they complete TS1400 development. They have already started work of the military version of TS1400. TF6000 work kicked in. A turboshaft version is a smaller business. They can somehow still source PT6 engines. TS1400 turbine blades have been domesticized but the...
I the space sector what Turkiye needs to do is to move fast until we can launch satellites to Geostationary orbit which means we need 50 meter high 400 ton launch vehicles with around 2.8 - 3 meter diameter.
Turboprops will burn fuel fast and will decimate endurance. The airframe is made for half the payload. You need to change many things to make it carry the increased airframe weight and payload weight and possibly fuel weigh to maintain a respectable endurance. Maybe they can hit a balance...
We have the late entrant advantage here, we know what worked and what didn't looking at the stories of other players. If we can afford to experiment more we can get to a position where we will have caught up with our pier nations in terms of resources or even better as it gets cheaper to do...
I simply omitted to include in my post the fact that we have a burgeoning space sector and we are raising the people to make it happen. We are even buying information packages from other nations. We even have a growing defense sector to go along with it. We practically have everything in place...
We only need them for our recycling industry. We should put all our money on our own development work. It is mere months before TB3, Kızılelma and DİHA take to the skies among others. We don't need anything that we don't make and we can make anything that we need.
