There are certain advantages of having a radial flow turboshaft. - mechanically simple and compact - low cost - low maintenance - less mechanical and thermal stress - relatively higher pressure per stage for lower flow rates are some of them. But they have limitations. One of the most...

I like your optimism. - TS3000 has been put on the back burner. Not enough workforce and finances. It is the TF35K that has priority at the moment. - TS1400 is a radial airflow turboshaft. They are best with single or maximum double stages. Currently it is more or less at its limit as far as...

Reading above info regarding Gokbey and TS1400, I understand that the EASA approved TS1400 being available for Gokbey is given as 2027. So all production/deliveries until 2027 will use LHTEC800 engine. Come to think about it; If 2028 is the end of licence agreement for T-129, I wonder if it...

Exactly! In terms of jet powered munitions, we have Kuzgun, Çakır, Atmaca, Kara Atmaca, SOM A-B-C and J, Kemankes and of course the infamous Gezgin to come yet. These subsonic cruise missiles use Kale KTJ series (ktj1750, ktj3200, ktj3700, Arat) and İdealab engines to power them. Some of them...

Unless you have a layered missile system, be it subsonic, supersonic or hypersonic, it is all academic when it comes to real life events. Last night we watched the Arrow system intercepting an exoatmospheric Iranian missile. That missile must have been travelling at high hypersonic speeds when...

I wasn’t trying to find a difference.

MIC ?? Minimum Inhibitory Concentration of antibiotics? Minor in Consumption ( of alcohol) Message Integrity Check Methyl Iso Cyanate “Microphone” shortened these shortened capital letter usage just urges me to ignore the contents. Sorry to be old fashioned.

How much credibility one can attach to a Wikipedia based source is highly questionable. With that in mind this information says that the indigenous KAAN engine production is in the hands of TAEC. Probably insinuating in between the lines that TEI and Kale will be employed to produce a TAEC...

At that altitude it WILL go fast. To work efficiently at that altitude, it will also need a Turbojet engine or something like a CRDE. KE, with it’s turbofan power plant, ideally, will fly between 30K feet and 50k feet altitude. It doesn’t really need to fly any higher. KE will be partially a...

CRDE - Continuously Rotating Detonation Engine - technology was briefly discussed in previous pages. https://defencehub.live/threads/propulsion-systems.3/page-86#post-193830 This is still a technology at it’s infancy ; albeit with a lot of promise. But there is still a lot of time and effort...

There is a saying in Turkish; Even with a golden saddle a donkey is a donkey. So, no matter what you do to a F16 plane it’s RCS is not going to be improved to a level whereby it can compete with a modern stealthy 5th generation jet. Nor will it have a stealthy airframe like the delta wing planes...

Citizenship is defined in Article 66 of the Turkish constitution: Everyone bound to the Turkish state through the bond of citizenship is a Turk So any Turkish citizen claiming the opposite is committing constitutional offence. It is nothing less than inciting separatism. Today in Anatolia and...

If you investigate a bit deeper, you will find that the latest Have Glass modified f16s had lower than 1m2 RCS value. All our block 40 and block50 f16s have 5m2 RCS value. MMRCA version of F16 had a very low RCS value similar to Have Glass modified planes. As can be seen from above graph block...

F16C Block30 aircraft has an RCA value of 1.2 m2 as opposed to newer versions of F16 planes’ 5m2 according to below site. https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/stealth-aircraft-rcs.htm So our block 30 planes have a distinct stealth advantage compared with the newer F16s. With RAM paint...

Bro, everyone knows that this specific post was meant for @Scott Summers as it was his posts that were deleted. I think you too know, whom it was meant for. But I intentionally left it open ended so that anyone that tries to make sensitive and outrageous claims as such, will have to know they...

Please refrain from making extraordinary claims if you are not going to be able to support that with concrete evidence and relevant valid sources. Hearsay and rumours have no place here on matters that is important to the core of the REPUBLIC . Either support your claims or delete your such...

There are merits to what you say. However you can not rule out the use of subsonic missiles either. Neither should you call it “silliness”. War is governed by and is a matter of sustainability, skill and managing economics of battlefield. A hypersonic missile like ARRW will cost 15 to 18...

According to TurDef article it is faster than Stinger. quote: SUNGUR is a new generation MANPADS fitted with IIR guidance. The missile was first fired from a BMC VURAN 4x4 tactical wheeled vehicle’s turreted 2x2 launcher. SUNGUR was later tested in shoulder-fired configuration, shooting down a...

2.2+ Mach speed according to below magazine. https://www.defenceturkey.com/en/content/sungur-a-real-4th-generation-manpads-4254#:~:text=I%20think%20that%20the%20SUNGUR,least%203kg%20like%20the%20Stinger.

Well according to the above magazine excerpt, it has a double pulse engine. I would have thought like you and said it wouldn’t need a double pulse and dual thrust would have sufficed. But apparently we have chosen a double pulse engine for our BVR missile.
