This guy is about to drive me nuts... It would be seriously dangerous for this dude to be anywhere near TAI. Technicians would be thrusting towards him from the darkness with tools in their hands.

That dumbass who can not tell the difference between a mock up and prototype can aparently tell how much G components can endure just on a low resolution picture.

I just enjoy these comments, its all the more fun reading them retrospectively once proven wrong.

The KAI F/A-50, which has the similiar propulsion system as the TAI Hurjet, has an ordnance lifting capacity of 10,000-12,000 lb. This indicates that with the lightening of the aircraft structures in the Hurjet program, the Hurjet LCA variant can reach a payload capacity of 4500 kg, perhaps 5 tons.

The paint-terk graph below shows that if a light attack jet variant of the Hurjet is produced, we can obtain a low-cost attack platform that can support main combatant platforms on a serious scale.

This is of course not a graph to be taken seriously. However, it is a -what if- to show what happens if the ordnance/payload capacity reaches 10,000 lb level and pod stations are added under the fuselage and on the side of the aircraft.

how about turning it into a BVR platform solely based on technology ?
like with a compact but powerful GaN based Aesa and advanced FEWS combined with 2 gokhan.
i am just wondering.

I have only tried to describe a typical task load and its representation. Of course, many other ideas can be generated. What I am trying to say is that if the Hurjet LCA variant emerges as an aircraft with a lift capacity of about 5 tons at a cost of around 18-25 million dollars, it could become the workhorse of the air force.

HÜRJET prototypes get landing gear and engines!
Hürjet still doesn't have landing gears? God they are slow with Hürjet! I presume this is normal for the first prototype but I'm afraid they're gonna try to fly it before it's ready.

And now I'm sure that we won't see ATAK2 flying on March 18th.

And that's something TAI strictly disagrees with. Hurjet is neither running late, nor slow. It should be noted that they're building numerous prototypes at the same time whilst rotating the people around. Hurjet is being assembled via conventional ways, with a smaller workforce when compared to the MMU.

When will it rollout then? Ten days before first flight? Are you saying the program is on schedule and there's no delay regarding the first prototype?

I'm not obsessed with the date March 18th. It's stupid. If it's not ready by that time it shouldn't fly and risk the entire program with a catastrophic failure. I have no doubt that it will make its first flight next year. A few months of delay shouldn't be a concern. It's no small task after all. But we all know why it has to fly on March 18th and not on October 29th.

No rollout as per my knowledge. And yes, no delays.

Hurjet another example, mostly composite in it's production - KAI T-50 & the more recent Boeing T-7A Red Hawk are using 3rd gen Aluminium skins on their aircrafts.
