Mr Akşit: "We have built Tf6000 as a technology development project to study technologies to be used on National Combat Aircraft's engine. We will also use it to validate and calibrate the design analysis software developed by our engineering team."

Question: Isn't TEI one of the three companies already bidding for TFX MMU engine?

Mr Akşit: "TEI is involved into the national development of the TFX/MMU engine. It is a military turbofan engine. There are two fan stages in the front and compressor stages behind it."

Question: You said there are compressor stage behind the fans in TFX national engine


Mr Akşit: "Yes there is a compressor but the compressor doesn't digest all the air provided by the fans. In this configuration, It uses half of it.

Can you explain it further?

Question: Does the TEI-Tf6000 have single crystal blade technology?

Mr Akşit: Yes! They must be made of heat resistant single crystals to operate at higher temperatures

Question: Doea the TEI-Tf6000 have aingle crystal blade technology?

Mr Akşit: Yes! They must be made of heat resistant single crystals to operate at higher temperatures

This proves TheInsider?

Question: Does the TEI-Tf6000 have blisk technology?

Mr Akşit: Yes, Our engine has that new generation blisk or IBR technology. This directly affects efficiency of engine.

Mr Akşit: "Tubitak is also involved as well as our subsidiary companies (Gür Metal and Varzene). We have a large material engineering team in RD Department. Under these conditions, we have developed both SCB materials and alloys such as superalloys "Inconel 718, 718+, 738" in Turkiye together with Tubitak MAM material institute team and subsidiaries. There are more special materials with hiher quality and higher resilience such as those in discs and we are currently working on them"

 

[TheInsider]

We now have both national single-crystal blade production technology and national production of materials that are used for the single-crystal blade. This means complete supply chain control over the most critical component of turbine engines. TEI TF-6000 will be a state-of-the-art engine that is only second to the next-generation variable bypass engines (currently there is no variable bypass engine project in this class).

Is there any expected delivery date for TF-6000? Any public schedule?

 

[Cabatli_TR]

Mr Akşit: "TS1400 engine which we will deliver (February 2023) ready for first manned flight, is the 8th design cycle."

Mr Akşit: "First Tf6000 engine prototype is in production"

"It is being tried to be ready for the first ignition test within 1 year."

Is there any expected delivery date for TF-6000? Any public schedule?

Mr. Akşit stated that they want to make a fully working engine with completed tests and ready to be used by aircraft by 2026.

So the pretty complete engine (with all tests done etc.) is aimed for 2026

iirc Mr. Akşit stated that they want to make a fully working engine with completed tests and ready to be used by aircraft by 2026.

So the pretty complete engine (with all tests done etc.) is aimed for 2026

I guess it totally depends on how well the development process goes. If they pass the developments stages smoothly without setbacks then I believe it can be ready for deployment earlier than planned.

It is aimed to start ground tests with KTJ3700 before the end of 2022 and use the KTJ3700 in the fist firing test of Kara-Atmaca in 2023

This will be the first Turkish engine in history that will take people in air .
I hope pilots dont be afraid since its first experimental helicopter and engine

Cabatlı, where to access these?

Btw do you think that MMU engine can be ready for 2026 first ignition?

I think it can but wanna hear your perspective
