Safran, Honeywell, GE, RR all have such systems now, but the majority of the eVTOL industry want to go fully electric rather than hybrid mostly because of cost issues of turbine systems. However diesel hybrid is a more economic solution which is now gaining some momentum...

The engines TEI are making are pretty good for civilian projects too as they are already developed for harder requirements of the military. They have quite sizable alternators for on board systems and that power can be used to trickle charge batteries in a hybrid system. But our industry is slow...

Even if it did conversion losses would be too much. Serial hybrid has those losses and can not really be implemented on small systems. The PG50 has a pretty hefty alternator power for its size but still nowhere near enough for anything related to propulsion. A parallel hybrid is the way to go, I...

A hybrid drive system but electric parts and combustion part are independent. The electric part becomes a dead weight once in the air not contributing to propulsion until it has to land. There must be a better way where combustion engine with its mighty fuel capacity can contribute to lift...

The lack of them, possible. But we will try to make them until make them. A MMU without them is a plane with strings attached, partially Turkish, unacceptable for medium to long term.

You have to make everything in parallel to make them ready in time for production. It is also a matter for the industry to develop capabilities, consider it like how the US did space science and engineering to benefit it in other areas. We can not leave any area untouched. This is an engineering...

Good to know that we are doing it.

Turkey does not depend on Ukraine for technology acquisition. Ukraine can only help with a few years of head start in several areas. Russia does not have the strength to capture to hold a big chunk of Ukraine let alone targeting Turkey.

The prospect of involving the UK in more projects will surely be enticing for the UK as they have put many things up on sale after the Brexit and in the pandemic. We should take this opportunity to utilize their expertise in a similar manner as we can do with Ukraine. TFX and its engine and a...

So funny that we can move up by just waiting for other to come down. Standing strong becomes moving up in the aftermath of the pandemic.

TUSAŞ Genel Müdürü Temel Kotil, "Rakiplerimiz bizden önde. Duracak vaktimiz yok" dedi. "Our competition is ahead of us we have no time to pause."

Wings look somewhat longer, like 15m instead of 12m.

Because they deceive people to think this is possible. And I am in the know of what is really possible. They make people believe that flying cars are commonplace while actually there is none that have been sold to a customer. There are a couple sold to be used to carry goods but not passengers.

Canal Istanbul can have its own attractions that we are not familiar with now.

Why would anyone take the tour through Bosphorus twice the return trip can be made through the canal or the other way around. Home port scheme is not only for Black Sea tours but also for Aegean and Mediterranean tours. In which case tourists can visit the city and the canal as part of their...

Of course they do, but when Istanbul is ALSO a home port guests will be flown in to Istanbul and as part of their package they fly in a day or two earlier and do their visits in the city and join the ship after. When Istanbul is a port of call instead of a home port which it has been for decades...

Just the opposite it is you who is insulting. I have been a cruise ship professional for some of my life and you are saying I don't know a thing about them. Why are you such a bad boy.

If you knew how I know about cruise ships you would be shutting up forever.

The problem is some people have a misconception about flying cars. At some point they will be as affordable as a ground taxi ride.
