IFF is part of the ICNI (Integrated communications, navigation and IFF) subsystem, not IRFS (Integrated RF system). The claim that there will be L-band antennas has been around for years, but they will probably be for wide-spectrum ESM, rather than radar. This is the integrated IFF system to...

GTU-0 does not include some structural technologies that will be used in the final aircraft, especially the titanium bulkheads that will be produced with the world's largest 3D printer. Not only the fuselage, but also the systems will decrease towards optimal weight. I searched for the link for...

TurAF officials and defense industry representatives came together at TAI facilities to evaluate the current situation of KAAN. Although it is specific to a single platform; you can understand how special this project is when you look at the photo and see the number of faces you recognize. The...

We have confirmation that the images shared as a new prototype belong to GTU-0.

The height was never 6 meters; it was previously estimated/calculated that GTU-0 was 5.1 meters. Now, we have a late confirmation of this. Additionally, the length was calculated to be 20.2 meters, and the wingspan was 13.3 meters. Interestingly, the weight data remains constant. Considering...

For the first time since June 17, 2019, the technical specifications were updated by TAI itself. Wingspan from 14 meters to 13.4 meters Lenght from 21 meters to 20.3 meters Height from 6 meters to 5 meters Wing area from 70m2 to 71.6m2 Still; 1.8 mach maximum speed, 55.000ft maximum ceiling...

And the new prototype will likely include IRST and EOTS faceted glass enclosures. It hasn't been long since images from the assembly line have been shared, and it is unlikely that the aircraft will be painted. And I don't think a prototype that allegedly includes major changes, no matter who or...

TF-36000 According to the latest statement by SSB President Haluk Görgün, the indigenous engine will produce 36.000lbf thrust. It was probably around 38.000lbf with the normal nozzle, it may have been decided as 36.000lbf since TVC was included, it was clear from the officials' recent articles...

Even if we compare it with the most advanced software available today, the major design updates in the P1 mean that it cannot serve as a strong indicator. Additionally, whether it serves as an indicator or not would yield similar results even if the upper-rear fuselage were identical—which means...

The GTU-0 titanium bulkheads were not produced with the giant 5x7m 3D printhead, probably the components in the photos of P1/P2 are making the structural leap forward. I remember an interview with a senior project manager in the hangar where he mentioned a 3 ton weight reduction from P1.

Even though the engine project is not yet finalized and no one seems to have a clear idea about it, I would like to ask something I don’t fully understand. Regarding the KAAN’s engine, the biggest handicap of the project: If we assume this engine will enter service around 2030, its...

Sorry for the mistake, thank you for the correction, I shared the source because I couldn't confirm it. Unfortunately, he has really lost the confidence compared to 1-2 years ago. And it was initially thought that CANİK would produce it, now it is known that SARSILMAZ will produce it. Anyway...

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.
