Idk, tell that to the ones in Roketsan. That's what I heard in IDEF day 2
As I said before; If there is a will there is a way.
P&W PT6A-60 engine develops 1050HP.
P&W PT6A-52 engine develops 850HP.
When used on below aircraft, the 850HP engine gives 1700kg useful load capacity.
When used on the same plane, the 1050HP engine gives a useful load capacity of up to 4200kg.

Beechcraft Super King aircraft.

Baykar is already using the 750HP version of this engine on Akinci. If Baykar can integrate the more powerful versions to Akinci and strengthen the wings’ inner pylons, anything is possible.
But these engines are about 1 million US dollars each. They cost half that amount to fully overhaul. So it is not cheap. But the return may be worth it.

Akinci-C already uses two 850HP engines and they plan to use TS-1400 for a bigger Akinci (recent CNN interview with Selcuk Bayraktar).

Power Plant - 2 x 450 hp / 2 x 750 hp / 2 x 850 hp Twin Turboprop
