TR Propulsion Systems

Good for Baykar and Competition is good, but the playing field is not level.

A new 2 seater plane with a 100hp engine has the following specs

TM100 engine of Baykar has two large alternators that provide electric power to the electrical systems on board. This takes power away from the propulsion leaving 100 hp to the propulsion. However a civilian system will not need as much power for the electrical systems. So a derivative engine from this engine can use smaller alternators and have a bigger power left for propulsion. I am guessing such a derivative engine can have as much as 110 hp to 115 hp propulsion power, looking at the large size of the alternators. This kind of power can be used to power both 2 seater and 4 seater airplanes. Rotax has 141 hp and the new 160 engines for 4 seaters but 115 hp is reportedly also used for 4 seaters.

Below is a new design 3 place fast-build KIT plane that uses 2 Rotax engines. Twin engines increase safety. The Florida maker invented this plane for a National Geographic video shoot in DR Congo and he needed a safe plane that will not emergency land as everywhere is covered with rainforests and the only way to land is to go back to base. He sold 275 kits until two and a half years ago. Mostly used for sightseeing. During his stay in DR Congo a military coup occurred and with 6 hours flight time he felt safer in the air than he would be on the ground, he said.

TUSAŞ Deputy General Manager Prof. Dr. Fahrettin Öztürk:

'We don't have an engine development project for Hürjet.'

The engine currently used by Hürjet is the GE F404 engine. Certain agreements have been made regarding this engine, and specific approvals are awaited, but TEI has the capability to produce it if production permission is obtained.

TEI can produce this engine like the F110. You might ask if TEI can develop such an engine? They can, but that's not on our agenda. Our current agenda is to develop the Kaan engine.

TBF it makes sense that they concentrate on KAAN's engine. Of course an indigenous engine for Hürjet would be great, but KAAN means to have air superiority, so we need that indigenous engine for KAAN as soon as possible.

We have limited capital, both in financial and manpower terms, as well as in industrial and technological capacity. Why waste it on a project that is not crucial to us when we already have an engine project that is more important than any other? Hürjet is of secondary importance as it is just a trainer (no matter how much TAI wants to sell it as a combat aircraft as well), albeit a very advanced one, and we can get engines for a trainer far easier than we could for a proper fighter jet.

Honestly worst case plan would be just make a deal with spain so they manufacture and sell jointly and we get a cut, win win, but slightly less profit vs if we did it. Im sure we can buy enough engines for our use.

Let us continue here.
