TR TF-X KAAN | F-16 Özgür | Hürjet | Hürkuş - Fighter & Trainer Aircraft Projects

[Rooxbar]

What I'd love to see is a concerted swift action regarding engine development. Government should create the incentive for Kale and TEI to join forces in a joint venture for the here proposed 20k and 35k engines, to speed up future testing operations among other things.

What I would love to see is a missile truck like F-15EX that can take full advantage of all the AESA's we are planning to put on drones.

The question is how much a missile truck is needed.

F15-EX is nowadays wanted for her range, not her capacity as bomb truck. Nowadays we do not need a truck load of bombs to destroy a target, one smart guided bomb does the trick

Everyone's still waiting for the TF-X engine tender and hedging their bets. But that would be welcome outcome.
Maybe Kale could do parts manufacturing as a Tier1 supplier or get a certain share while TEI keeps the overall project.

I think it would be for the best if the government launched two different engine projects for the TF-X, one a 5th gen engine that is given to the new company that Rolls-Royce and Kale set up and a second one that is a 4th gen engine that TEI should build just in case.

Turkey shouldn't let the opportunity that is the Rolls-Royce and Kale partnership go to waste, especially as it might one day be a way for Turkey to become a way for Turkey to get its foot in the door of the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP).

This video has 2.8 million views. How? 6th gen to REPLACE Hürjet?

 

[Merzifonlu]

KE is not 6th fighter. Not yet. May be 10 years after.

YouTube is flooded with these low quality military channels. It's pathetic.

 

[Quasar]

Was gonna ask the same question myself

While T50 and T7 designed on center lined main landing gears similar to F16 and old F104, on Hurjet they preferred the main landing gears beneath the wing roots.
The only main gain I can think of is Hurjet’s prospective ability to carry centerline pods and even ammunition.
On structural strength and weaknesses, experts here can do a better assessment.

Saying that, however, can’t help but notice the resemblance between Hurjet’s and F14’s main landing gear design. *wink wink.

another intersting thing is eventhough Hürjet has half the range of a F 16 still it's range is 400 km more than T 7 red hawk and T 50 and it was stated that it will have air refueling capability.

 

[Isa Khan]

Currently no, but I hope TAI is smart enough to make the Hurjet available in 2 engine choices (like F16 has choice between GE and P&W engine). If Hurjet is also available with EJ200 it would be able to sell it to countries where the US blocks the US engine

Probably should've done that from start after F-35 issue and the way US kept hassling Turkey. Wonder why countries choose American engine instead of Eurojet, French or local one. (Ex- FA-50, Gripen, KFX) This issue complicate sales.

Frech Engine? Dude, they don't even provide an engine for SOM, and you are writing their name to alternative lists? Seriously, when it comes to sanctions, if there is anything worse than the USA, it is Europe.

It will also affect our major projects

Don't think so.

TF-X Group Presidency has now been established. The aircraft used to be under the Aircraft Department Presidency.

 

[Baryshx]

I hope the defense industry projects continue without interruption. It may not be just events and celebrations, they may be rescheduled or canceled.

Because today I saw a tweet about TF-X and I blocked that person because I thought he was not well-intentioned.

Such people should not even be answered, because it spreads and has the potential to influence people.

Is March 18th still a thing?

Well things are going perfectly fine as things stand. I would assume so.

 

[Huelague]

How? Where are my family members going to cast their votes? What about the millions who are refugees in their own country now?

I don't want to see a new drone, fighter jet or ship until the last body has been recovered.

As much as it hurts all of us, but lifes go on. Sadly, but true.

Turkish Aerospace Industries is present at the IDEX 2023 fair. T-129, Anka, Aksungur, Hürkuş and Hürjet platforms are being displayed at the static area. TAI did not bring the mock-up of the TF-X.

That mock-up doesn't mean much anymore.

That mock-up doesn't mean much anymore.

I mean it is a high fidelity mock-up. It's 99% identical to the real thing.
