Ok so to sum it up (roughly)TF6K is currently delivers thrust enough to power an UAV like Akinci who doesn’t go super sonic.

I was certain that F-4 had cruise speed below 1M and only goes super sonic with afterburner.

You are still stuck on speed. It has nothing to do with speed. F4 , if at a high enough altitude can super cruise. It has done it. The Israelis even used a version they called “ Super-Phantom” that went supersonic without afterburners.

TF6K is an overkill for Akinci. Also Akinci just can not handle the thrust levels this engine can generate. Aerodynamically it is also NOT compatible. Even a turboprop version of TF6K would be 4 times too much for Akinci. TF6K will be ideal for Anka3 and KE.

Almost all fighter jets cruise at subsonic speeds. Even at super cruise they use too much fuel. With afterburners they drink fuel. So whenever possible they fly subsonic. F4 is the fastest plane we have in the fleet. It still holds almost a record altitude flight level of 98557 feet!

I can’t help it. It’s my logical mind that says how the relation between flow of mass divided by time should be equivalent to speed.

and constant thrust of 6K should be equivalent to a speed an object.

assuming the airframe can handle the thrust.

it should be possible to calculate speed under the assumption of ideal conditions

Your logical mind is good one intuitively.

It can be applied soundly to the venturi effect of the (first part of) laval nozzle Yasar kindly expanded on a few posts earlier.

The gas molecules involved in this half (up to the choked flow at the throat) transmit information to each other perfectly.

So yes to preserve mass flow, the speed MUST increase as the cross sectional area is decreased...(and speed will decrease if cross sectional area is increased during subsonic flow).

The breaking of the sound barrier though means the molecules no longer transmit information to each other like they did. There are reversals that happen in the underlying characteristics of a gas flow....and so speed increases with cross sectional increase (rather than decreases as happens with subsonic flow).

Its the whole point of the laval nozzle in the end, to get sonic speed at the choked flow throat....to take advantage of the characteristics reversal at sonic speed and increase speed of the gas to supersonic.

The speed of "information" (conveyed by compression, pressure et al.) in a medium. That is what the speed of sound essentially is. Break it and the molecules can be "taken advantage of" for your benefit, they lose cohesion.

Stochastic analysis and simulation of this is of major ongoing relevance....along with all reversal phenomena in other physical equilibrium phenomena of the universe's reality according to our current capability to research and implement.

It is a nice video about propulsion in the begin with historic approach first 20 min, looks like he is talking in a school. Nothing news, a good information for kids.

Did i miss something on engine programs ? TEI PD 300H ???

TEI General Manager Mahmut Faruk Akşit:

"We are negotiating with General Electric for the production of HÜRJET's F404 engine under license."

 

[uçuyorum]

After they allowed so many parts of more advanced f414 to be produced in india might as well at this point

 

[Lool]

Any news about TEI TF6000 engine?
I did read before that they were trying to ignite it on the 100th anniversary of the republic

Moved the off topic posts to general geopolitics thread. Can continue there folks, thanks.

What would be the power on the helicopter variant?

What would be the power on the helicopter variant?

It remains on the table as a very powerful (output power) option(compared to current options) if preferred. The other option is the production of selected Ukrainian engine in Turkiye, along with maintenance, repair and co-development and export rights. I guess option 2 should be stronger now.

I hope not,Ukrainian engine looks like a mistake(not enough power).

Exactly!
The TF6000 engine will turn in to a turbo shaft engine of 5000-7000HP power level monster. That sort of power is good for tilt rotor used in Osprey like planes. That is an overkill for Atak2.

The 3000 HP power level turbo shaft we need, can best be achieved if TEI is asked to manufacture it with extra manpower and cash injection and starts a new engine program with the experience they have gathered when producing the 2000HP class T700-TEI701D engine for the Blackhawk program. They produce more than 70% of that engine in house including hot parts. So it wouldn’t take as long as the TS1400 program.
But that will mean taking resources away from the KAAN’s TF35K program. So it will have to be put in the back burner for the time being.

TS1400 is too powerful for AKINCI, TF6000 is too powerful for ATAK 2. TF35K will be too powerful for Hürjet.

Nice problems to have We'll fill these gaps once TEI has less on her plate.

The last few post are causing mixed emotions in me. Seriously.

Should I be happy that we‘re gonna get TF6000 soon? Or just sad that only rotary application for that engine would have been a segment of aircraft rather “luxurious“ for our needs?

Should I be satisfied to know that 3000 HP turbo shaft just within our reach but only with pouring cash and slowing down TF35 program? And even though 3000 is close, should we maybe go with Ukrainian option with the lower power but export rights (not sure about the last bit myself)?

Not desperate but all tough choices and I’m confused 🫤

 

[Heartbang]

I'd say there's a merit to slapping bigger than necessary engines to a platform. It would perform more efficiently.
