Larger turbines turn slower
Larger blades have more real estate on them to implement cooling measures
Lesser quality turbines can go to the aeroderivative path to be marines
I haven't built turbines I only have part of the picture
Now that we are maturing the TS1400 and we have mastered that power range, what if we make a turboprop from it and equip an Akıncı Block 2 with it? like 2x1500 hp. It can give in excess of 3 tons of payload for 15 hours at 500km/h speed or so. It would sport an indigenous rating of around 95%...
Turkey is big in construction, comes second after China, piece of cake and it is good for the economy when the government want to boost the economy they incentivize construction. And it has been in the agenda for several years already.
The Star and Crescent Project is a project to brings together different branches of the Turkish military headquarters in one campus in Ankara. The shape of the building is basically a pentagon.
We can take pain as we did in the many decades past but will our counterparts take the pain of bickering with Turkey. That is less likely.
Short-sighted, what are you talking about?
Baykar will go after products that will sell in high numbers but TAI can make a long range bomber and supersonic passenger planes. Imagine they make three engine and four engine planes using the TFX engine. Planes that fly at twice the speed of sound carrying up to 30 people to the far side of...
Such a plane would be good to have for Turkey but there is no export potential.
After MIUS I guess the next step is a better MIUS. Even MIUS has little export potential.
Although after MIUS Baykar announced that flying cars will follow.
This seems to be used to complement the lack of ram air to drive the turbine fans. More like the first gear of the manual transmission car to get the car to move beating inertia. From all we knew from past disclosures about SOM ram air is essential for engine start. Perhaps a disclosure about...
The igniter is likely to be in the role of a spark plug used to start the combustion and does not have anything to do with providing air for the combustion, so ram air is still required. By the way Akıncı's top speed is mach 0.296 and SOM has capabilities to start at various altitude and mach...
Because the turbine engine is started by the ram air coming through its inlet the plane has to be fast enough to provide enough pressure. Akıncı tops at 362 km/h.
The reality unfolded before our very eyes, there is no room for speculation. Israel asked F35 not be given to Turkey and so happened. When you explicitly activate a kill switch that is the and of your weapons sales, you can not sell your products anymore.
This ultimately happened because of Israels pressure that F35 shouldn't be made available to Turkey. This worked for us as we knew that F35 would only give us trouble and nothing else. We only made it easy for them to make a decision buying the S400.
