    China needs food, fresh produce, fruits and stuff and construction materials like marble of the top of my head. When transportation is more efficient many more products can be added.

    Further limit the ammunition to like 4 pieces and you can probably squeeze 48 hours out of it.

    If the plane is highly optimized as it is external tanks will render it underpowered; you can gain in endurance but you will lose in speed, payload and altitude performance as the lifting capacity stays the same.

    Aksungur is lighter than Akıncı however Akıncı presumably has a larger fuel tank capacity; given these I think Aksungur will fly longer with its endurance optimized aerodynamics where Akıncı must be speed optimized mainly looking at their wingspans.

    They don't need to do too much damage, they are just signaling their gang members. Akar also repeated sabotage, we won't let them get away with it. Actually I don't really care. When energy peaks somewhere friction can happen. Erdoğan called for applause, that is what matters.

    That's one hot piece of hardware (and software). The number of countries that can make one of these is less than a dozen.

    There is always the possibility of some gangsters trying to give signals that they are not dead yet, you never know. Sincere people's failures are always tolerable as long as they are proven sincere.

    Probably it is only the combustion chambers of turboshaft engines that can be used for turbofans if any. Most likely they have to be clean sheet jobs.

    Minister Akar was also mad. It is not easy to bring things together for a live stream but a few heads can roll justifiably if there is a purposeful action. My heart goes to the whole team working for this dream to come true.

    Kind of, I don't know why. But that engine is suitable for two seat civilian planes too.

    UCAV and Hürjet turbofans ? A dream coming true if true.They are sparing no effort.

    I guess the engines make up 20% of the cost of a civilian helicopter.

    The 30.000 hour flight time engine must be the elusive PG115.

    The numbers given for the engine weight should get clarified. Is it the whole package or are there some parts left out? The definite number can be given when the engine gets certified. We should be delighted with the indicative numbers nonetheless.

    It is not a clear cut decision to go for IEP. There are ups and downs to each system. And the list of large IEP ships is still a very short one. The complexity of electrical systems of an IEP ship causes unexpected problems which happened to the second of the US Zumwalt class ship during trials...

    You need to look harder to see the reasons why we can be denied the engines we want from RR and GE. And LM2500 is only good up to mid size ships. Electric conversion is a costly thing in terms of fuel consumption. You only get half the efficiency of when you use combustion directly. Therefore...
