The TF-X will be unveiled by March 23, 2023 and make it’s maiden flight by 2025.

This was already mentioned a few month ago, I don’t think something changed regarding those dates.

It always was 2025.

Aluminum and Titanium parts of TFX body main structure passed the fatigue tests successfully. AI, machine learning and deep learning software played a role in these tests.

May I ask, if it include bulkhead?

May I ask, if it include bulkhead?

Since the bulkheads are also made of aluminum and titanium, the subject of these stress tests is actually relevant to these bulkheads. These fatigue tests were very important because Turkiye produced the largest bulkheads with titanium 3D printing technology and became the first country to use this technology in the bulkheads...

We had a foreign company make the big printer as I recall it, but it worries me that we may not have necessary tech to make these printers our selves.

Yeah! That's why I asked. These bulkhead probably the world's first 3d printed bulkhead. So there were some doubting if these can long last witthout cracks. now, Is G sustaining test also depends on fatigue tests ? Or is it completely different one?

These are world biggest 3d printers made by a us company. But no problem, these are available on commercial market. Even you can personally buy one if you have enough money.

It always was 2025.

No, it was between 2026 and 2027 before.

 

[MADDOG]

It always was 2025.

I mean yeah but it wasn't strictly the case was it? The first flight could've happened in 2026 as well.

 

[Huelague]

TF-X's maiden flight date has also been revised to 2025.

From?..

 

[MADDOG]

From?..

2026. When I was over at TAI a year back (been there twice), they were going back and forth with those two dates.

It has ALWAYS been officially communicated to be 2025. 2026 has never been a topic at least publicly

Some people have always preferred to regard later dates in an effort to downplay capabilities of Türkiye, sadly.

These two are from TUSAS themselves, 2018.

This one was from THK during Anatolian Eagle last year.

I guess TUSAS and THK are downplaying capabilities of Türkiye according to you. Quit your nationalist bs ffs. I guess I wouldn't be the only one feeling this way. I've seen you coming up with terrible arguments against well-advised and -minded members of this forum countless times. Stating truth is not having a bias against Türkiye, and as I've said before, reality doesn't always suit your preferences.

Before the schedules were accelerated (and publicly confirmed by Temel Kotil), the original timeline clearly stated somewhere in between 2026~2027 as when the first flight of MMU was to take place.

 

[Windchime]

Oh not again, once more we come back to AKP this , AKP that bs. I'll tell you, I don't give two shit about who's the president in Turkey and which party has parliamentary control. Also, you're trying to disregard any official documents that doesn't suit your narrative and poltical views. Well, I've seen those tactics a lot. One thing I've learnt along those experience is that you sort of people never come up woth anything productive.

 

[Manomed]

Institutions want all the time they can get to make the products and keep themselves on the safe side of promises. It is not the documents that reflect the reality of what is happening but the realizations. Programs run faster than the documents have put. And you only regard documents that you can find but not regard the words and sentiments conveyed between lines of words of the industry leaders. The involvement of political aspects is outside your reach as you can only read from documents but not from political sentiments. Every project under AK Party government have been completed before time. When they make an agreement for a projects they haggle to complete it a year or two earlier than the planners have planned. As plans involve setbacks and all that are unlikely to happen under pressure from higher ups. Its was all know from the starts that completions happen before time is up. It is a resounding evidence that realizations happen earlier rather than later. Keep reading documents and stay behind the events.

Many members of this forum are laden with political inclinations that make them portray happenings in a way that suits their agenda. But hey those who think Turks are incompetent have always failed.

Stop attacking our members with your bullshit zafer.
