Domestic engines will fly Turkey's missiles
Kale Group Vice President and Technical Group President Osman Okyay told Anadolu Agency (AA) that they have been working on developing and producing turbojet engines for 10 years as a group.
Explaining that during this period, they first established all the infrastructure necessary for the development of such an engine, Okyay stated that they acted with the leadership and vision of the Presidency of Defense Industries.
Emphasizing that engines, especially jet engines, are among the most important components in the defense industry, Okyay stated that they have developed a test setup that can provide flight conditions on the ground in order to carry out these studies.
Okyay said:
"While developing the jet engine, engine companies around the world deal only with the engine's 'core engine', namely the compressor group, combustion chamber and tribune group. While we were developing this engine, we also designed many subsystems. Pyrotechnic igniters, electronic control unit, fuel pump, fuel group, We also continued to develop subsystems such as bearings, alternator, etc. We did all of these in this country, either by ourselves or by working with our business partners, universities. There are no foreign components on this engine. So there are no foreign components that are subject to control or not. All the things on it, all the subsystems, all of them were developed and produced in Turkey. It took 10 years to do this. If we went to the method of supplying some components from abroad, we could remove some components faster. Our goal was to continue production when any restriction etc. came. way out.”
Noting that they signed the serial production agreement for the KTJ-3200 engine, which will be used in SOM and Atmaca missiles, last year, Okyay stated that it took some time for all subsystems and the total of the engine to go into mass production.
Stating that they have passed all these processes and started deliveries, Okyay said, "Last month, we delivered 4 engines. 3200 newton turbojet engines, which we call KTJ-3200. Their deliveries will continue with very high numbers next year. I don't want to go into numbers here, but we have a ramp, a serious one. There is a ramp. Next year, we will go up that ramp and make serious productions and deliveries." said.
Çakır missile will meet with domestic engine
Osman Okyay said that they are not limited to the KTJ-3200 in their engine development projects, they have developed 3 different engines that the country needs.
Stating that one of them will serve as the engine of the Çakır missile, Okyay stated that while they developed the first engine in 10 years, they developed the Çakır engine in a very short time, such as 1.5 years.
Okyay emphasized that the development, which was very costly and took a very long time at the beginning, enables the subsequent projects to be done much faster as the capability gains. Okyay said, "It happened to us too. With the knowledge and infrastructure gained in the first project, we developed the second engine much faster. We developed an engine of 1750 newtons. This will be the engine of our Çakır missile. We are delivering the first one at the end of this month. Therefore, flight tests will begin, the next It is planned at the beginning of the year, like January." he said.
3700 newton engine for Land Atmaca's
Noting that they have developed a third engine with a higher thrust of 3700 newtons for the land version of the Atmaca missile, "Land Atmaca", Okyay said, "The design is finished, the prototype is being produced. We will be giving away the first engine at this time next year." said.
Osman Okyay also stated that they are carrying out another engine development project called Arat. But we aim to complete it in a shorter time. The first 2 stages of the project have been passed. I hope that we will complete it quickly." used the phrases.
Western countries also knocked on Turkey's door
Stating that they have not been able to make a special effort to search for a market in export, Okyay said:
"It is very interesting, the engine issue is actually an important bottleneck in the world, there are very few manufacturers in the world. There are very few companies like us that can produce engines that are not subject to any restrictions. About 10 countries came to our door after hearing the news of these engines. Serious demands. We keep some of them waiting, some of them are in contract negotiations. There are developed Western countries among them. This is obviously an even more interesting thing. The engine issue is an area where we are dependent on the West. A Western country wants an engine from us and moreover for themselves. It's important that they want us to develop a special engine. It means confidence in our ability to develop engines. This is something even more gratifying. It's not like the production of an engine that is. We are trying to evaluate these demands. We have quite a busy schedule right now, but exports are important to us."
