congrats for the TF-6000 achievement

can someone please tell us on which turkish or foreign platforms this engine will be used ?

MIUS and TAI stealth UAV (not yet revealed) for sure. Rest remains unknown.

 

[Siper>MMU]

As I said engine will be used on aerial platforms and ships. Congrats TEI.

BIG SURPRISE

TF-6000 Design is completed. The project progressed to the prototype manufacturing phase.
6000lbs dry thrust 10000lbs with afterburner.

GOD IM COMING TO YOU!!! OMG OMG OMG

 

[Zafer]

TF6000 can be used in single and twin configurations which will allow for a multitude of possible platforms including marine platforms with its derivatives. Other than single and twin or possibly triplet configurations which civilian planes support there is also possibilities that the same engine can have different power yields with modifications to achieve different optimization goals like fuel economy, extreme power or a balanced power and economy varieties.

Tf6000

• 6000lb dry thrust
• 10000lb afterburner
• Prototype production phase

Told you guys it won't use TS1400 core

 

[Trakya_forever]

Well done. However, I think it needs 4-5 more years for serial production. Eliminate Ukraine. We need a new producer for KIZILELMA. Do you have a candidate?

 

[Zafer]

It will be a test for TEI to pull this TF6000 off nicely to be trusted with more work for the Özgün engine of TFX.

After that, I think TEI will reveal the TS-3000 turboshaft engines as well.

Besides, TEI will reach higher thrust ratios by modifying TF6000's core. With these developments, Turkey will also have a powerful marine engine and turboprop family.

TEI completed the design of the TF 6000 engine in 2 years. The one in the image is a 1:1 scale model of our engine that can produce 6,000 lbf dry thrust & 10,000 lbf wet thrust.

 

[Siper>MMU]

I am glad TEI has finally started development of a marine engine now. BMC Power is also working on the diesel marine section. in 2030s we will have completely indigenous propulsion systems.

Will power Kizilelma by 2025 if everything goes alright.

 

[Tsenal]

This could also power a twin engine Hürjet.

 

[Zafer]

TF6000 is likely to be the engine that will take Kızılelma to supersonic speeds with its afterburner capabilities.

 

[Combat-Master]

This could also power a twin engine Hürjet.

If they could squeeze out more thrust, extra 500lbf dry and 1,000lbf wet per engine then it would be a comparable replacement to a single F404, that is if TF6000 will weigh less than 700kg each

 

[Pilatino]

Can we make a commercial airliner engine from this in the future?

 

[Agha Sher]

Can we make a commercial airliner engine from this in the future?

The soviet Yak-40 used three AI-25 (each 3300 lbf thrust). I guess two TF-6000 could power a commercial aircraft 50% larger i.e. 50-55 passengers (assuming lighter materials).

E.g. something like the CRJ200 should be possible

 

[Yasar_TR]

Realistically, how many years before we see it powering MIUS and TAIs stealth drone?

Also, kinda a rookie question, is lbs and lbf interchangeable? AI-222-25 has a thrust of 5500lbf, will TF-6000 be more powerful than the AI-222-25?

Lastly, any info on thrust to weight ratio?

There is no lbs. It is lbf (pound force is the unit for thrust). To shorten it some may use pounds thrust in plural. Hence lbs. But not correct nomenclature.
6000lbf dry thrust and 10000lbf with afterburners is probably a bit more powerful than the AI-225-25 which is a near 6000lbf dry thrust and 9200 with afterburner thrust class engine.
If we had designed the Hurjet as a twin engined plane it would have more thrust with two of these.
Now we can seriously and confidently say TEI could produce a indigenous engine for TFX.

 

[Khagan1923]

10.000lb with afterburner?

Very good.

 

[Zafer]

Realization of the TFX engine can pave the way to a high bypass turbofan engine that can be used on a commercial airliner. The material science knowhow will be there and it will be a matter of time to make such engines if there really is a market opportunity.

After that, I think TEI will reveal the TS-3000 turboshaft engines as well.

Isnt the TF-6000 a turbofan (turbojet) engine? Wouldnt converting that to a marine engine be extremely ineffecient? As far as I know, most of the current ships use massive diesel engines till this day for a reason right?
