It is even better if it is a hybrid, I would be surprized if it weren't as there is no aviation electric motor nearly as big as to fly this bird readily available. Although you can stack several motors to the same effect. A hybrid is harder to make too. Kudos to TAI for that. A quad or...

The buzzword here is reignitable, their upper stage rocket is reignitable several times. My suggestion is to take dozens of small robotic thrusters and unleash them on space debris to grab onto them and push them towards reentry points. This would be done from a larger space vehicle that would...

Stupid arguments all over this place. 18 years of rule and just one close relative appointed a minister for less than a full term. You guys can only fool bigots with nepotism allegations.

Probably the right thing is to smooth out the coastline and find the normal into the sea. Mathematicians to the rescue.

There is nothing scandalous about these. Power struggle is not a smooth ride for anyone.

Corruption, where is it? There is talk of it but no evidence. It is called slander when there is no evidence..

We were talking about a two seat, 650kg LSA, the same weigh as the Bayraktar TB2. 650kg is the upper limit of that class allowance. You don't start with an 80t behemoth when you are just starting electrification.

Looking at the rivets it looks legit too. They made a quick build on the manned model otherwise it didn't need to be boxy and all.

They made a nose lift, LOL.

When I talked about an electric plane six years ago a university professor was like "no way a plane can fly on electric". And now the top Turkish company makes an electric full size helicopter, what an exponential change.

I have lost hope, gave up on and ditched the F35 long time ago. We can only use our own make weapon systems going forward. Hürjet (rolls out this year) TFX in several incarnations TFX single engine in several incarnations T6X (6th gen fighter, I propose) and varieties Can phase out all foreign...

Notice the winglets, each plane has slightly different winglets. The front-most has the short and steep and the farthest has the flat and long.

My statement is a forward looking statement. It can be done for a consortium of companies that produce space debris. Like carbon taxes a debris cleaning charge can be a levied and used against cleaning space. Private companies can develop technologies to do the cleaning. There are many space...

Licensed debris companies can make expeditions into orbit in which a number of debris pieces can be targeted each time. Their activities can be monitored for suspicious activity by third parties. Space sweepers is the latest space film I have seen although technically not very relevant.

A good way of eliminating space debris can be by sending small tug/push rockets to attach themselves to the debris and push them towards the earth where they can land on safe areas. Perhaps some materials can also be salvaged that way. This can be an expensive way but if small pushers can be...

We have 8 years to have completed the spaceport. We can start with a spaceport with only a few premises as permanent installations and ship the remaining elements on location in preparation of a launch and as security gets better we enlarge the facilities. Somalia has this advantage and they...

We probably still have some more time before we need to start taking action to enhance security in parts of Somalia where we intend to plant a spaceport. We should work towards it once a deal is made.

Our LST ships TCG Bayraktar and TCG Sancaktar seem to be very suitable to carry out operations regarding the delivery of parts and personnel and possibly fuel to the spaceport. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayraktar-class_tank_landing_ship Also a second hand ship can be bought and re-purposed...

I think I have spotted the perfect location in Somalia to set up a spaceport. It is in the southern regions and in the central government controlled area albeit Eş Şebap region is not too far away. With some support to better ensure security all should be good. 8.5 km from the airport, 8 km...

The blades for larger turbines like the motor for TFX would have more cooling air needs as they are bigger and have more real estate on them to work with. But the smaller engines like TS1400 have smaller blades and there only is one whole duct from the tip to the root of the blade as far as I...
