Don't get excited. Footage most likely old. Just thought it was a good angle.

isn’t this a capture from the video they released some time ago? Or is this a new one?

Hürjet prototype for Iron Bird

One thing, i have seen nearly all media outlets using "Iron Bird" but this is not Iron Bird testing, this is static stress testing for Hürjet, Iron Birds don't look like these

Turkish Super Hornet. Love it.

It's not for the Iron Bird though like @Radonsider said. Don't take this as a personal reply. The Iron Bird test facility is not an area to take a prototype to. You don't have a working prototype stationed there. Essentially every single equipment present on the actual aircraft is on sight, but not the aircraft itself. The test facility usually features all cockpit instruments so that flight can be simulated. The Iron Bird of Hürjet has been active for quite some time now. It isn't a new addition to TAI. The static test prototype has always been intended for static testing, the whole Iron Bird thing wouldn't work because it actually lacks the control surfaces and the actuators with them. Most cockpit instruments are not present either. So how and what would they be testing exactly?

If you're interested this is what the Iron Bird of an A350 looks like.

This one belongs to COMAC;

This is what an Iron Bird test bench usually resembles...

Not to be confused with this image (fatigue testing)...

And this (the iron bird is the name of the structure, not the testing facility)

So @Bogeyman was right all along.

Yea potentially. This doesn't mean an embargo is in place tho. Because what I heard was this... "There are no issues with the engine procurement", "there are no embargoes". It seems to be all clouded at the moment.

Temel Kotil called the GE CEO and scolded him. Now they will deliver us the engine produced for another aircraft.

What??!?

So they don't even produce for Hürjet?

Or the production line is too crowded?

I don't know all that detail.

Weird F110 gets delivered without delay but F404 does not?
Shouldn't the F404 line be less crowded though?

 

[Radonsider]

Ok thanks, it looks like something fucked up

I think no, F110 would probably have a bigger line with less orders than F404's

Hurjets engines was delivered as i remember so i found a source about it. We already experienced enough no need to repeat same mistakes.

Hürjet'in motorları Türkiye'de

HÜRJET’te kullanılacak F404 Motorları, Türkiye’ye teslim edildiler. Teslim edilen F404 Motorları, HÜRJET uçağının prototiplerinde kullanılacaklar.

@Bogeyman it could be the engines that were planned to be procured for the 3rd and 4th prototypes. Because at one point we were set to see those engines Something doesn't add up here.

On the contrary, the engine of Hürjet, which will fly, will arrive in January. The integration of the engine is expected to be completed in 2-2.5 months.
