Cooling is liquid, but electric generation is about generators, they can modify an Akıncı for that probablyCan Akinci provide enough power for the radar ? And regarding cooling system ?
F-16-Akıncı-Kızılelma will use the same radar. There will be differences in the structural parts but not the core radar. The amount of T/R modules will be the same. We will see if the power output or some of the functions of the radar will be limited by the software for UAV use. (speculation on my side might be a possibility)Will Kızılelma use the same radar as F-16 or use the same with Akıncı?
Yes. Since Baykar is involved in the design phase of the radar there will be no problem.Can Akinci provide enough power for the radar ? And regarding cooling system ?
Of course, Akıncı is urgent, not F16. Our SSB has a great sense of humor.
Why should there be less testing, it will be used for the first time after all. It could have been tested first in F16 (or in the test plane) and then added to Akıncı. That's what's normal.They probably go parallel, just it is easier to do for Akıncı (less tests etc)
I think the problem here is aircraft manufacturers don't give support for aircraft modifications (test platform) so we ended up testing it with AkıncıWhy should there be less testing, it will be used for the first time after all.

I don't know, since there is no explanation about it, it is normal to receive such comments.I think the problem here is aircraft manufacturers don't give support for aircraft modifications (test platform) so we ended up testing it with Akıncı
Have you ever seen an Akıncı up close? I tell you what it is huge. And the power is not related to engines as Akıncı 2*750hp won't have problems providing power to onboard systems and radars and no one is stopping Baykar to switch to the 950hp engines Akıncı designed for. Most of the power issues are revolving around the power delivery system and generator/alternators. If you want more power generator gets bigger. The engine itself produces more than enough power converting mechanical power to electricity and distributing that power is the challenge.I don't know, since there is no explanation about it, it is normal to receive such comments.
Where will Akıncı find the power and sensors, tools and equipment for this test, is there room for these in Akıncı?
Even though it is big, isn't most of it empty and fuel space?Have you ever seen an Akıncı up close?
No. Already, you mean to say that Akıncı's required places for these tests are set from scratch? If you talk about the modifications made, we will learn.Have you ever seen an Akıncı up close?

About this Turkish AESA radar, do we have any data on how many T/R modules, types of antenna (patch/notch?), SAR resolution etcNational AESA Radar Introduced
SSB President Prof. Dr. İsmail Demir: "We will install the AESA radar on our AKINCI in a very short time"
Yes, Akıncı designed for AESA radar from the scratch. There will of course be modifications but even the size of the nose is calculated with the measurements Aselsan gave Baykar.No. Already, you mean to say that Akıncı's required places for these tests are set from scratch?

We only have T/R count and power per module, around 1000 T/R modules and 20W normal and 30W peak for each module, thus 20kW and 30kWAbout this Turkish AESA radar, do we have any data on how many T/R modules, types of antenna (patch/notch?), SAR resolution etc
~1000 GaN T/R modules, 20W max nominal power output per module with transient power spikes up to 30 watts. No other details yet other than the functions like scan, track while scan, missile guidance, SAR/ISAR, GMTI etc.About this Turkish AESA radar, do we have any data on how many T/R modules, types of antenna (patch/notch?), SAR resolution etc
The nose size is the last hole of the zurna, you can reduce the aesa according to the nose size, I'm talking about other systems. Anyway, maybe they'll tell the public how they did it.Yes, Akıncı designed for AESA radar from the scratch. There will of course be modifications but even the size of the nose is calculated with the measurements Aselsan gave Baykar.
That's the point, all efforts are made to make it work without moving.Our radar looks great but won't physically rotate? it seems fixed to me...
