Elon Musk is such a sucker. He can't wrap his head around flying car concepts. He once said "everytime I think about it my mind wants to blow". What he is talking about is an "electric, supersonic, vertical take of and landing aircraft". He says it has to be 70% battery to have a reasonable...

That's OK as everyone else does the same thing. They wlli fly it manned if they trust it enough to do so going forward. But we have seen them crash after many dozens of successful flights. Hoversurf crashed a couple months ago. Even Boeing's design crashed once.

You will never know unless you are an investor.

Because it IS not safe. The moment motors stop it will fall down like a rock.

There are hundreds of designs out there, over 300 designs to be more precise. Türkiye deserves to sport better designs.

You can fly anything if you throw money at it. Cezeri is a mediocre design possibly made by a child.

I'm curious whether the performance of a rocket can be tested/verified by calculation alone without actually test firing one. I had read that airplane makers can predict their new planes' performance down to 1% variation level. What do you guys think?

If they do license their technology they probably already have. If they didn't then they won't. I would guess that some other company would use this engine if they could. Also SpaceX and most launch companies service internationally therefore they probably won't want other companies to compete...

That is wishful thinking at this stage. We know that it can happen, yet it may have not.

When it comes to range the length of the rocket also comes into play other then the diameter so I guess there is not a direct comparison. However you can work out a range number if you can calculate the volume of the rocket.

That's one awesome rocket right there. I noticed that it may not be perfectly round. I don't know if a rocket can have some flat sides like when you bundle several tubes and shrinkwrap them into one which leaves flat edges between tubes. Or do I need some eyeglasses to see reality.

A helicopter is an easy solution but also a shorter range and shorter time in flight solution. Possibility of a plane replacement will depend on whether LHD Anadolu will be fitted with equipment for fixed wing UAV operations. I recon Anadolu being the only carrier platform for a long time the...

Probably an unmanned and smaller version of this plane is a better fit for Türkiye to launch from the intended Aircraft Carrier and possibly from the two JC class LHD's. Smaller does not mean less capable perse.

Somebody should start a poll or something.

I remembered the days when I had joined the Ali Kuşçu Amatör Astronomi Derneği right after it was founded. We used to gather at ITU Taşkışla premises. I kept attending the meetings until I found that majority of members were more interested in astrology than actual astronomy (or rather some...

Several people have stated their idea that Erdoğan has downplayed the game and presented the gas find with a smaller number. And also let the news out piece by piece to keep the hype going. However the simple fact that he presents the facts as it is out there before our eyes. He revealed the...

This Adaptive Optics Technology is a game changer. I have checked out the highest elevation observatories list of the world and also the list of highest mountains over 2500 meters of Türkiye and noticed that the 3170m elevation is not the highest elevation Türkiye can afford. Of course there...

We are hoping for more.

There is a limit to how many wind mills you can plant and how many dams you can build and harvest what nature has to offer. You need to somehow top off what you can get by such means.

We didn't have any drilling means just a couple years ago and now we have 3 and possibly four of the world's 16 drilling ships at out hands. I would expect a similar performance in extraction work as well. The point is making it reasonably quick and reasonably enough with domestic means.
