GÜÇHAN TURBOFAN JET ENGINE

Our Ministry began work in the fields of liquid-fueled rocket engines and aircraft engines many years ago.

The GÜÇHAN Turbofan Jet Engine is a national jet engine with high thrust power, whose entire set of components was developed by the Ministry of National Defense Research and Development Center and produced entirely using domestic capabilities. The engine system was designed with original engineering solutions tailored to our country’s needs, and was developed with the goal of reducing foreign dependency in critical technologies while establishing sustainable indigenous capabilities.

Thanks to single-crystal technology, the resistance of engine components against high temperatures and intensive operating conditions has been enhanced, resulting in significant gains in efficiency, performance, and service life.

A total of six engines with 42,000 lbf (pound-force) thrust have been produced to date, and qualification testing of the engines is planned to be carried out within this year.

Throughout this process, rather than commercial concerns, our aim is to develop technology, build national capacity, and provide leadership to our defense industry companies.

With its institutional experience and engineering infrastructure, our Ministry will continue to develop indigenous, independent, and sustainable solutions in defense technologies, expand research and development activities, and contribute to our country’s strategic technology vision.

As much as I want to have a second promising maker working on some critical national projects I don't want to hear the lbf abbreviation be pronounced as libre feet as the MSB Arge manager did in an NTV interview.

The "rust" in compressor blades I saw in low resolution images may not be rust. I thought this is embarrassing they combined old rusty F110 parts together to make a fake engine was my honest initial response.

Then I saw yellow tinted coated blades next to Guchan.

Then they said they have been testing 6 engines in parallel and they are close to qualification this year for 42.000 lbf !!!
Then I saw a closer view of rusty blades in the air intake section. No it is not rust.

I think in recent images they are a yellow tinted blade coating I asked Grok about it. This is the response. @Nilgiri canenlighten us more but I think these coatings and other cutting edge improvements allowed a F-135 level thrust on same diameter size as F-135.

Now about why do we need TEI-35000?
I think stealth characteristics, dry thrust, electric production and service lifetime of TRMotor TEI-TF35000 could be better than Guchan.

That is most likely explanation as to why both projects are going in parallel . And MSB factories are actually military factories 4. kademe 5. kademe etc. You will never see them in news and they will never make info videos like TEI Aselsan etc. So that "secret" knowledge of military factories made believing this engine a bit harder for our twitter experts. But not me I worked at one of those factories.

(İRONY) - No bro thats fake , how they can build it . İts alpha centauri ALİEN tech that only US & İsrael can build and noone else , Msb arge dont have factories , Engineers , They have only 50m² room with chairs , desks and cheap computers . 🤣🤣🤣

I call it bs,why not show one of the 6 engines instead of the stripped down F 110 at SAHA 2026?

I get the disbelief. Even among "experts"

But Güçhan is no fake. Neither is YıldırımHan nor nuclear weapons program I have been telling you that existed for decades even though Erdogan officially declared they reject not having nukes on TV. People still can't believe it.

Military is secretive especially about a secret project. Nothing like Aselsan or TEI. It is need to know basis.
Even if a general doesnt need to know, he wouldnt know about development of Guchan let alone twitter defence "experts".
So disbelief is normal. Israel was getting belligerent against us and KAAN is about to fly so we finally got to know about it.
Yıldırımhan 6000km range and the point it targets in video fits Diego Garcia. Where US-Israel forces launch their heaviest bombers against the Muslim nations.
Remember the video of Azap had timestamp from 2016. Ten years later we finally needed to know even though it was used countless times against PKK tunnels. So, surprise world!..

3000 kg version would have 10 times the destructive power of single Azap according to Kuzulu. And by reducing the payload same missile can reach 10.000 km with 3- 300 kiloton nukes. So bye bye greater Israel project...

Güçhan fits definition of a "secret project" that have been running for the past 10 years. I believe biggest advantages MSB has are TEI-TRMotor single crystal blade development know-how, with no bureaucracy and near limitless instant funds of MSB secret projects. They also have experience of repairing, upgrading, modifying thousands of aero engines including best of the best: GE engines like F-110.

Kuzulu said even though from outside it resembles F-110 it is very different design inside.
F-135 F-110 and Güchan all have the same diameter so no it doesnt have to be larger like many twitter "experts" say it just has to push more air and with greater hot section temps than F-110. What if that lowers life time to half? Who cares this is do or die time for Turkiye...

It's weird that the only companies with the know how and facilities for production and testing of these don't know about them. Like how are you gonna do these without roketsan, aselsan and sage? Don't those companies work on secret state projects and collaborate on them? How are you gonna test an ICBM without anyone knowing? I find it hard to believe that this is anything more than a conceptual or semi technical design on a cad document as of yet, if even that. Who developed the warhead for atmospheric re entry? And the risk of embargo and political pushback for a system that hasn't even been prototyped... Now you will see even more closed embargo on rocket subsystems.

Dear brothers & sisters, fellows.

Güçhan is nothing but a sham. The engine present in the fair is exactly F110, a used one with visible tear, paints, polishing.

I strongly advise you to not follow some liars, propagandists and traitors who attempts to divide us - blindly, appoint to your intellect, conscience and lastly spider senses.

TurAF has unmatching ,in global theathre, factory / depot level maintenance capabilities, even the leading companies of aircraft, uav, engine designer and manufacturers camp at the bases to learn from technicians and skilled people, and the culture. Yet, this capability has nothing to do with designing an engine from scratch, or testing a newly made engine, nor integrating it to an aircraft.

Designing, manufacturing, certifying an engine takes a collective effort among TurAF maintenance teams, TEI excellence, Tübitak material casting and TRMotors assistance in accessories. Where this MSB Ar&Ge is nothing that you expect.

It is even funnier that TurAF personnel, SSB officials are equally bamboozled as we are with the 'reveal'.

Just to support @Anmdt , another expert‘s view.

Mr. Mevlütoğlu AKA ORKO is an engineer with many published articles and well known defence industry expert who is invited to conferences all over the world.


All the visible parts of the engine are F110. Not a copy or derivative, but the F110 itself. As for what kind of magic is in its invisible parts, my knowledge doesn't suffice. As for what I've heard from the stakeholders [*collabraters/colleagues] in our engine ecosystem, I can't relay those—it would be rude to the reader.”

They have overshadowed and ruined a very good expo, the amounts of actual real new development and products is staggering but MSB Arge just had to shit all over it.

Im sure in a couple months we will know the truth behind this clown show.

Companies themselves doesnt need to know. Company like TEI fully knowing means GE knowing about Güçhan thus USA.

What is the point of any secret project if you cant recruit your own scientists or ask them questions without permission of America? MSB Ar-ge has an equivalent in America may be you have heard about it. Its called freaking DARPA !

So Güçhan is no joke, neither is YıldırımHan which relies on simply mixing 2 HIGHLY reactive liquids. A simple design once you master chemical mass production steps. This is the same reaction powers Russian liquid fuel ICBMS. It is a well proven and a very old method. It is all very real. Nukes ICBMS are ancient techs. We chould have had these decades ago. But political will was subservient not independent.

Guys. I have a theory.

This engine is an f110 clone with slight differences. It does not have 42k lbf thrust, maybe 30-36k.

The reason it was built outside of TEI is to throw off Americans/for plausible deniability.

This is basically KAAN's insurance.

And this is my theory.
Seems my theory is somewhat real. It's an f110 clone, or it's an honest to god f110.

There was some chatter on the forum about our lack of engines and how we would get over it if Americans imposed an embargo. I remember people saying unlicensed f110 production would be beyond the pale. This "Güçhan" (cringe name btw) might well be the answer. Even if this particular engine is not a Turkish production (meaning a complete sham), this is basically us declaring our intent to put an f110 clone in KAAN. And let's be real, I have complete trust in TEI, TRmotor and other companies to be able to actually clone an f110 in 2 years tops.

I'm gonna be a little controversial and say we can produce a complete F-16 from scratch right now and if a US embargo happens, there is no real reason we shouldn't.

About the name of new engine being GÜÇ-HAN. It makes perfect sense if you know about what KAAN means.

KAAN means king of kings. KHan of KHans. A System of Systems in tech realm.

KAAN has GÖK-HAN missile system and now GÜÇ-HAN power sytem.
Once we add laser weapons as part of 6th gen upgrades.
That could be called IŞIK-HAN etc.

Very cool and smart indeed.
