“With the support of our Defense Industry Presidency, we are developing nickel alloy additive manufacturing technology used in aviation through our YAKUT Project.

Within the scope of the project, we have nationalized the critical capabilities for the production of functional engine parts from nickel superalloys that can operate under high temperature and pressure using the Laser Metal Powder Melting (LAM) method.

In additive manufacturing, seen as the manufacturing technology of the future, we are focusing on all stages from design optimization to process and material development.”

”it's the combustion chamber of the TJ90 turbojet engine used in TUSAŞ Şimşek.”
This must be an addition to the previous work TEI had done with additive technologies.
I distinctly remember Prof Akşit in a fair showing a saucepan like unit similar to this one but without the holes and proudly telling everyone that it was the combustion chamber of the T700 Blackhawk engine they were manufacturing that was produced from Nickel Superalloys by additive technologies, whereby an original 13 part cast unit was produced as a single one through additive technologies.
But this one looks more intricate and complex. Also the title in one of the pictures says it so.

That is great to see TEI not sitting on their laurels and constantly improving.

Well, we are almost there. The engine is maturing. That is higher thrust than what the Ukranian engine can provide. On top, it is stealthy. According to M Aksit, the engine develops 5900+ lbf thrust now.

TS1400 can develop up to 1700-1800 HP shaft power for max output. And once the qualification tests are overcome it will be on Gokbey too.

Wonderful news about TF6000, I would be happy with an interim 4800 lbf, now 5900 lbf made my day. As the force go up durability comes down surely; once they have a reasonable time on TBO hours they will probably want to fly already. I would give it 3 months at this pace before they will have no reserve towards flying.
