I wouldn't expect a lot of news from TF6000 while ground tests are running, which is probably a year or two at best. Last news was test were still going a couple months ago I think.

What about tf10000 though?

Generally, there is no embargo on products in the prototype phase in Turkey, whenever they want to move on to the mass production phase, problems arise in the supply of subsystems, so it is normal for us to receive news a little late about the TF6000, the local subsystems are being prepared.

If we can get the TF6000 into mass production, it will be that much easier to get the TF35000 into mass production.

Probably still in design phase? I doubt they would freeze the design and start building a prototype before going through whole battery of tests with TF6000 since it'll be the basis for TF10K. That is just my guess though, because a jet engine is a very complicated challenge and as TEI president said in one interview, you can only do so much with simulations and analyses, you have to test, pick the engine apart, see what happens to this or that, put it together, test again, and again and again to be sure.

That'll still be a several years before TF6000 ground and flying tests end and it enters into first LRIP and then serial production though.

And I doubt it'll be just as easy as turning on a CAD and increasing the diameter of TF6K, TF35K will be a whole another beast to tackle.

Time is passing so fast. One year almost passed after first fire of the engine. Despite of knowing the fact that such works takes at least 3-4 years to mature an engine, we are still hopeful and expecting some miracles.

Last year, we launched the TF6000 and designed, developed and operated an aircraft engine for the first time in Turkey. We are now conducting maturity and flight readiness tests of this engine. Hopefully, we will prepare this engine for flight in the TF6000 and TF10000 series as soon as possible.

Now, for the first time, we have also entered the maintenance of aircraft engines used on ships. Previously, we were supporting the General Directorate of Shipyards for the maintenance of MİLGEM engines. Now, for the first time, we received a job from abroad, from the United States, about LM2500s before the end of the year. In January, there was a second piece of good news that we had won the second tender.

He says soon TF6 and 10, so they already have ignited TF10000.

 

[BalkanTurk90]

Can we quickly convert those aviation engines, TF10K and TF35K, into naval ones like the US LM2500 if they ban their sales? Otherwise, we will also suffer with naval engines, similar to the Altay tank situation for the past 15 years ???

You're reaching too far mate, you'll hurt yourself

I know mr Mahmut is a big asset for us and real PR person with humility, I just wonder if we have more like him studying/working abroad and who might come back and help keep up the drive.
