Different programs.


This timeline is only correct in the minds of propagandists.

This timeline becomes plan A when the 110 engines fail to arrive.

If the TF-10000 is massively delayed, wouldnt that delay the TF-35000 as well?
As far as I remember, TEI planned to have the TF-35000 working by the end of 2028 and incorporate it into KAAN by the end of 2029/early 2030 for 2 years of testing following the official delivery by 2032

Not necessarily. TEI has a limited pool of engineers to run all those projects, and engineers are allocated to certain tasks from that pool. Let's assume you need 200 engineers to hit the timeline targets of TF-10000, but you can only allocate 20 engineers from the pool due to the ambitious timeline and needs of the TF-35000 project. This is what happened to the TF-6k/10k project. TEI redirected a lot of engineers to the TF-35000 project, which slowed down, especially TF-10000. TF-6000 was nearly done when engineers redirected to the TF-35000 project, but TF-6000 will also see delays because the work on iterative prototypes might slow down. Limited resources, overlapping priorities.
