TR Propulsion Systems

[Zoth]

Altay is a political failure. Kaan and TF-35000 is an engineering challenge. Both TAI and TEI has world class expertise. TAI was one of the most important suppliers of the F-35 project, TEI supplying advanced engine parts for other engines for decades now. If you fly regularly, you probably flew with an TEI produced engine part. Neither of them starts from 0.

Just don't answer to him mate, he thinks he is being clever by using Altay as an example non stop, i would explain why he is wrong but i will not entertain a troll.

I wish a moderator deletes all this nonsensical off-topic argument.

He is under propulsion systems and compares jet engine development to Altay tank failure which was due to engine embargo from Germany, that's all i gotta say, he does it on purpose.

"According to information obtained by Defence Turk, TEI-TF6000, which was operated for the first time during the year, has passed approximately 60 tests so far. It was stated that the new engines of TF6000, whose ground tests are ongoing, are also being produced, and that the afterburner part is also being worked on to turn it into TF10000. While the beginning of qualification tests on the TF6000 engine is expected to be in late 2028, it is planned to provide the engine with afterburner capability by 2026."

Dude comes from his reddit echo chamber and thinks he knows what's up. You better worry about your own Country @Costin1984

I understand your sentiment but I think we'd want to be better so I think we'd be better off if we don't try to turn this place into an echo chamber of our own. When the west is going into a conformist culture (as evidenced by their public square, aka social media, being a collection of bubbles with an accepted orthodoxy and no tolerance for stepping out of the line created by it) we should try to steer our culture away from that which is possible through polite discourse and openness to questioning.

Outsiders often think that there are factors we’re not including in our estimates, but in reality, these factors are already accounted for when we are making predictions.

For example, some people argue that we won’t be able to produce the Kaan on schedule because of limited expertise, budget constraints, restricted access to foreign components, or technological challenges at the component level. They conclude that this will delay Kaan’s entry into service past 2028-29. However, these limitations have already been factored into the timeline. If we had no budget constraints, ample expertise, unrestricted access to foreign components, and readily available subsystem technology, Kaan could have entered service in the early 2020s, not the late 2020s.

So, while these factors have already delayed Kaan by 7-8 years, but foreigners are mistakenly suggesting adding another 7-8 years because they think we are "blindly nationalist/partisan Turks who refuses to see the bad hand Turkey is dealing with". And this results in double counting in foreigners predictions about Turkish projects.

Regardless it's always better to keep the 10th man in your midst so they can say bullshit when needed.

I am the 10th man in this "Kazanıyoruz"mania. However, that doesn’t stop me from appreciating the work that has been done and objectively assessing the capabilities of the Turkish defense industry.

I must be the 11th then, our team is complete

You guys need to understand that every member has a right to his/her opinion,dont attack him for no reason.
We need to be mature about things and bs about him coming from reddit is not acceptable.
We know him for 10 years now,he never talked bs.
If that is his opinion you guys need to accept it and move on,no more bs.
What is this,a forum where only yay sayers are welcome???

The main limitation with Hurjet is it's engine, you can't sell it to anyone outside of US allies, and there is no program or even any slight talk or hint about a domestic engine for Hurjet(at least not yet) so even if it has the possibility of selling like hot cakes, Turkey won't be able to sell it as hot cakes for the reason i mentioned.

Which is really weird, Hurjet is already finished and will become a mature program much sooner than Kaan, i wonder why they don't consider a domestic engine for it?

maybe Ukranian engines are keeping as options thanks to Baykar ?or future program planning after TF35000 for Hurjet

Has Kale Arge set up a test infra to simulate the conditions at 10k meters altitude? A few years ago, they were saying that they're making the investments but I don't remember a confirmation of it becoming online.

Okay, i don't know how credible this source is but i guess we finally will start seeing ramjet technology soon.

Okay i was right for not trusting it, should i just delete it? I got hyped for no reason man.

T-7A, IMO. I expect that will be the default supersonic trainer choice for nearly all countries, leaving a small number of sales for Hurjet worldwide.

Still far behind schedule isn't it?

Still far behind schedule isn't it?

Yes, but production models should start being delivered in 2026 according to this report from February 2024 :

Boeing pushes back T-7 plans due to faulty parts

Boeing said the companies that produced the parts with quality problems acted quickly to fix them, and it is moving to finish building the final test jets.

To develop an engine for Hurjet would, I guess, take 5+ years. By then T-7A will be in mass production. How many Hurjet (including light fighter version) could TAI expect to sell? How many engines could a Turkish developer expect to sell?
