BAE Systems LiteHUD - assembled in Turkey by Fotoniks
Latest Thread
It is not nice to read that “we are manufacturing under license”. But you have to start somewhere! BAE are partners at the moment. So the idea should be, to get as much as possible while you can. Also these sort of “under license” manufacturing processes keeps one foot in with the top technology companies. We can not spend on R&D as much as they are. In a way, it is free R&D!I would look for a national solution. Only acceptable for stop gap. They could probably make it if they started early enough. If only were we sanctioned for this HUD.

Would that be possible without a stronger engine?

Nice catch!
The 2.7tons was the minimum requirement design specification, now the design (PDR) of Hurjet has finished and the design with simulation verified (CDR) one can tell with more sureness what the real payload capacity is. I think Temel Kotil is now possibly speaking out the value after CDR verification.
Without engine like f414 that bird will never be a light attack or CAS plane. F404 is good for shows and training. But not for a fighter jet. To increase the payload to that level you need a powerful engine and a structurally matching plane. As A C-Block Hurjet, they may have a very different configuration of both engine and plane. Even then, that 5 ton figure may include fuel.Nice catch!

Gripen uses F404 with 5 ton munition capacity.Without engine like f414 that bird will never be a light attack or CAS plane. F404 is good for shows and training. But not for a fighter jet.

Actually it is Volvo RM12 engine developed from F404 GE engine.Gripen uses F404 with 5 ton munition capacity.
Kind of think it is more valuable then hundreds of milions dollars pured into the projects if consider what one man is capable to do from whole Bayractar endevaour.Mr Kotil: Retired Head engineer of Eurofighter program came to Tusaş for Hürjet.
