"Preliminary design of Kaan's engine completed"

This interview was recorded at Farnborough International Airshow 2024 July. I hope we will have some news regarding TF6000 soon.

I din't have to point out that we still haven't ordered engines for all those hürjets jet, do I.

The Block 1 engine in the KAAN is the F110, manufactured by General Electric, which is also used in F-16s. On the other hand, the HÜRJET, for which TUSAŞ (Turkish Aerospace Industries) conducts test flights, uses General Electric's F404 engines.

Will there be permission for these engines? I asked this question to GE officials at the opening of General Electric Aerospace's design center in Istanbul today.

GE officials noted that the permit is on its way to the Senate. GE is closely monitoring the situation to ensure the process proceeds smoothly. Another important advantage in this regard is the approval of the F-16 sale to Turkey. This step is considered to potentially ease the way for obtaining permission for the engines.

I hope this is the beginning of things *finally* moving forward with Altay in a steady pace.

There seems to be an inline engine at the rear of the truck cargo. Wonder which one is it tuna or azra.

I really hope those engines live up to expectations. The region is going from worse to fuc-ked-up. I'd really like to have 500+ of Firtina and Altay (each) to begin with.
