"Mahmut Akşit said, "It takes 8-10 years to build such an engine. We started our work with the TJ300 and have now reached this level. The TF6000 was designed for Baykar's Combat Unmanned Aircraft System (MIUS). With its engine propulsion power, it has the capacity to fly the first model of MIUS at subsonic speed."
From 2022.

Baykar can choose to use TF6000 or not, but TF6000 was made for KE and other KE sized aircraft.
Still no words from Baykar, like they are not involved, LOL. Baykar will be using Ukrainian engines for the foreseable future until they move on to some other engine. Not to be mistaken though I do want Baykar to use the TF6 but I will take their word over others'.

Another historic milestone. We owe a lot to the team's determination despite all the difficulties along the way. I wish the derivative marine variant for navy ships was being developed simultaneously.

May be they will be using other engines but definitely not Ukraine engine. Ukraine no longer has the ability to produce engines.

Finally! Congratulations to everyone who worked hard on one of the most critical projects of our lives. Here's to hoping all ground test will go without any hitch and we'll see it fly in a year or two.

I will more whining from now on. When Kaan did not fly in December, I whined, "At least you should have flown Anka-3", and Anka-3 flew the next day. I whined, "Where is the TF-6000?", and 2 days later, the video of the first igniting was served. So they can't stand my whining! My first target from now on is the Batu Power Pack, my friends! LOL

I don't think anything can come out of Bmc, and even if it does, I don't think it will be productive. I think people will be disappointed in that. :cautious:

We don't know that and Baykar must have already stocked a number of engines.

Great news ! Finally a first firing of our first turbofan.
Congratulation to all that had a a hand in it.
As per Dr Akşit's previous statements, this engine probably has a lot less thrust than the aimed 6000lbf in dry thrust. It will take time to develop it in to a 6000lbf engine that can fly an air platform. But luckily we have gone through the motions with TS-1400 and as it is not going to propel a plane that will be entrusted with human life, it should be quicker to see the fruits of this endeavour.

A big thumbs up to TEI!

Qataris fed up with Ethem and removed him from the Turkish defense industry. Qataris directly petitioned Erdoğan to remove Ethem from the equation. Ethem was invincible but he made a big mistake and bamboozled Qataris. Erdoğan called Tosyalı and told him to takeover BMC and BMCPower. TAI bought TRMotor.

Going by just manufacturing alone, the list increases more actually given licensed production.
