The US is looking for fast VTOL flyers. We need such flyers too. One that can fly from the helicopter port of any navy ship and can reach half a mach or more...

Americans are testing them already...

Hürjet test pilot says they will expand Hürjet's flight envelope beginning this May.

It would probably be inconvenient to make the ship adaptable to both turbine and nuclear as their requirements may be vastly different which I am not aware of. So this one ship is to be made with today's tech and a future ship can be made with the latest tech we will have in the future. Better...

This is an intermediate ship until a future nuclear propulsion AC becomes possible as otherwise you need to wait longer to have an AC. A lower power EMALS can be made to fly smaller planes up to Hürjet size. A ship that can fly Kaan can only be made with nuclear propulsion. You make the ship...

That same AC will have unmanned fighters that the opponents have not matched as of yet. Some may argue that our Kızılelma or Anka3 have not matured yet but I should remind them that we are expecting them to come out of production line in a year.

I should say expansion of planes capabilities in many respects. The plane has to handle everything to a safe degree before they can push it further. This is also the first manned jet the company is making so the pace of progress is acceptable if not fast, I should say.

2000+ hours for an average civilian aircraft AFAIK.

Why do you have to be warring with the US or China with this AC.

It depends on what they are doing in every flight, whether big chunks or small bits of envelope expansion is in question, production time being brought nearer says something.

Hürjet is only 60% of an F16, does this make it a big plane, NO. Kaan is 240% of an F16, yes Kaan is a big plane, alright. Planes rated by their engine power.

Small planes launched by small catapults come with a small price tag. Good thing we have made a good start with unmanned planes.

Turns out they are making the Turkish AC ski-jump upgradable to a catapult system, a feature that was in my wishlist.

Considering that a catapult system is not being considered for the first Turkish AC an electric powered wheeled tow system can be considered to move the planes around and also possibly help gain initial speed for like 30-40 meters along the runway. This will speed up operations and save fuel for...

So it can detect spaceships, nice.

Seems like an acceptable range being 4 digit. Three or four of them can give a good coverage.

Nobody has any idea about the range, good.

For ships with no available extra space, above deck removable missile launcher clusters be it VLS or angled can be considered as a solution. This may or may not get in the way of helicopter operations but will give a massive boost to ships capabilities.

Looking good
