The engines themselves are ready but the problem is in the transmission system to be coupled with these systems. BMC Power had difficulty with such transmissions but recent TheInsider post indicates that the transmission itself is near completion. Probably the powerpack (engine + transmission) will be integrated into the Altay by 2024


BMC Power has been doing a lot of good stuff lately
Hopefully Turkey will finally gain independence from Western embargoes on land platforms; particularly, filthy Germany

aha the answer was just one post above

Btw, can Batu engine be coupled with renk transmission?

I was wondering the same thing but also can’t help but think about the German embargo. So, I’m wondering if we should even do it.

There is good news about the BATU powerpack. The engine satisfied all of the requirements on the bench runs. Bench tests of the transmission progressed a lot and coupled tests are expected to start. This is the last step before integrating the powerpack prototype into the tank. It seems that the target date of 2024 will be realized.

Were you on Ankara or Adapazarı event of BMC today, By any chance?

Prof. Aksit have been spoken on TRT Radio. According to he stated that the first engine is assembled. The second one will be assembled at the end of November or the beginning of the December. In February 2023 they will be delivered to TAI. In Mid 2023 Gokbey will fly with TS1400.

Like if we it can be do we can start the engine test earlier, until the local transmission is ready. I suppose we should have some MTU engines and Renk transmissions.

 

[Pilatino]

Forget about Renk and MTU guys and focus on our own tech. I'm sure our engineers can do it better sooner or later. When we managed to do it locally they'll offer it theirselves with a bitchface. I and this little finger can't wait for that day.

Serial production begins on the domestic engine:
• BMC Power will start mass production of 400 HP engine within 1 month
• Subcontractors completed material production
• Assembly and test work will be carried out in December
• Engines will be in Vuran 4x4 at the beginning of 2023

I don't think bmc's engine can meet the requirements. We do not make water engines, how many countries in the world can do it? Does Bmc have such an infrastructure and experience? We should increase investments and support Tümosan.

If Engines weren't up to spec Army wouldn't accept them. TSK is rigorous testing new products, I remind everyone how long it took Anka to get accepted by our armed forces. If they say OK then it is good in my book.

In cooperation with BMC Power, ASELSAN and Base Studio, the development project of "Hybrid chassis with axle-mounted electric motor driven (e-axle) traction system", which can be used in tactical wheeled vehicles such as 4x4, 6x6, 8x8, has been initiated.

Explanations on the TF6000 engine from Mahmut Faruk Akşit

TF10000AB afterburner turbofan engine will be developed
For ATAK 2, the turboshaft engine will be developed over the TF6000 core.

didnt we had an already in progress engine for ATAK-2?

 

[Mustafa27]

Ts-3000 never progressed beyond project proposal.

 

[Merzifonlu]

didnt we had an already in progress engine for ATAK-2?

No. We will use Ukraine engine for Atak-2.

 

[TheInsider]

Atak-2 will use the Ukrainian engine TEI is also proposing a new turboshaft derived from the TF-6000 core as an alternative.

Good news but is there any progress on "fuel pump, oil pump, gearboxes and so on", I wish they would have asked that as well.

I don't think TEI should waste time with those accessories. TEI should outsource those accessories from companies like Alp Havacılık etc.

What really surprised me was that TEI company has not done this until now. Has TEI encountered the same problems in the TS-1400 project? Or did the accessories issue occur with the TF6000 engine?

 

[TheInsider]

Alp Havacıık produces the gearbox of TS-1400. TS-1400 project is perfectly on track.

If you don't mind, may I ask you a question?
I heard that the prototype of TF-6000 exists at the Korea Forum yesterday, is it true? I remember only looking at the Mock-up, can someone tell me?
