KAAN was designed to push the limits in terms of thrust-to-weight (T/W) ratio performance. If you recall, during its first flight, it achieved a very clean takeoff without using afterburners, even with F110 engines that produce about nearly 35% less dry thrust (expected/calculated) than the...

It is not known when it happens, but towards the end of the flight-envelope opening tests, they will see the maximum speed of the aircraft, this flight consisted of a short supersonic sequence focused on testing whether or not to overcome the barrier

This morning, HÜRJET reached a speed of 1.01 Mach and became the first manned supersonic aircraft in Turkish aerospace history.

More thermal efficiency=more available electric=next generation radar/EW, DEW (directed energy weapon: high power laser, electromagnetic pulse, high-power microwave). Even BÜRFİS alone will consume more than 100 kW of power (speculative), 122x2kW on paper and 116x2kW maximum power can be...

I do not see an explicit indication here, but their description of a "6th generation engine" could imply that the ever-expanding and ultimate goals for this aircraft might necessitate such an engine. I would like to list additional reasons that could support this: - As I said, it sounds very...

If I understand correctly, the TF-38.000 engine (formerly TF-35K) for the KAAN aircraft is described as not only supporting 5th-generation features (IR/acoustic stealth, supercruise, TVC, etc.) but also being at a 6th-generation level. It's clear that TEI's focus this year on CMC material...

From the article of TEI Chairman Fahrettin Öztürk. For the first time, an official mentions that KAAN (with indigenous engines) will have TVC capability.

Sorry for forgetting this. To briefly summarize, the graph you see about ASELSAN's applications shows the comparison of the product with other countries. As a result, you remember correctly and it is stated that there may be a RCS decrease of up to 1000x at points where the scatter is high. The...

ASELSAN a-newsletter issue 55, January 2023. To briefly summarize, the graph you see about ASELSAN's applications shows the comparison of the product with other countries. As a result, you remember correctly and it is stated that there may be a RCS decrease of up to 1000x at points where the...

Source: TÜBİTAK 2021 Annual Report published on April 17, 2022. KAAN will be able to carry maximum of 1000lb of ammunition each, rather than a total of 1000lb, in its main IWB. And as @TheInsider mentioned above, there will be Bozdoğan WVR missiles in the side weapon stations on the both sides...

TAI orders 100 F404 engines for Hürjet

On Twitter I personally did not read it in Defence Turkey, but they gave Defence Turkey a source. There may be a new interview with Temel Kotil. It's better to be cautious until you see it directly in the magazine.

The ceremony will start at 14:00 Turkish Time (11.00 UTC)

Our engineers and technicians, who made sure that there was a week between seeing the helicopter for the first time and flying, deserve to be delighted. Congratulations TAI
