Color screen and digital night vision technologies will be used for the first time in the system, which was developed as binocular (two optical channels) and viewfinder reflective. In this way, color-specific groupings (friend, foe, etc.) will be possible in the symbology information. A hybrid (optical-inertial) system is designed as a head tracking system. The inner helmet will be specially produced for the pilot in terms of both comfort of use and proper viewing. For this, the head structure of the pilot will be scanned and the inner helmet will be processed according to the data generated after the scan. The visor will also be personalized to the pilot in terms of oxygen mask and face form compatibility. The headphones will have active noise suppression (ANR-Active Noise Reduction) technology, and the three-dimensional sound from the aircraft's internal speech system will be transmitted in stereo, allowing the pilot to increase awareness. The image obtained by using high-precision line of sight information from the three hundred and sixty-degree images created from the electro-optical systems on the aircraft will be projected onto the viewfinder and the feeling of use will be provided as if the aircraft does not have a fuselage.

Does anyone know what is the largest hydraulic press in turkey ?
Produced by Baykal Makine, Turkiye's leading specialist manufacturer of sheet metal processing machinery, the press brake is one of the largest presses in the world with its pressing force and 8.5-meter height. Bosch Rexroth Turkey supported the production of the APHS 6800 x 6000 press brake with its precise, reliable and energy-efficient hydraulic systems. While normal presses are produced between 120 and 1500 tons, this press brake has a press force of 6000 tons.

Large-scale investments are underway in also forged steel processing. At MKE Kırıkkale facilities, the installation of a giant free forging press of approximately 10 thousand tons is underway. There are only 10 plants of this scale in the world and the 11th one will operate in Kırıkkale.

I meant a hydraulic forging press like this
Can't find any info on it
The above one is a press bake

I meant like this

Largest hydraulic press is in China 80000 tons
The Erzhong forge can exert up to 80,000 tons of downward pressure using five columns

So you are asking about the die forging press. The second paragraph is about that. The first two units will be commissioned by December and full-scale production will start in the new year.

A 10000 ton hydraulic forging press right ?

This will be used for the forging in turkey ebam 3d printer
Both Statements are true, Turkey will use Ebam 3d printer for its TFX Bulkhead production and We are also commissioning 7k tones forging press for our military industry. Turkish industry needs such large scale forging press even without TFX, So this investment is likely a seperate investment from TFX project. Though According to Parlementor, This press will be used for aircraft parts. And He doesn't specify bulkheads, So We dont know exact details, At least I dont know.



Edit: There is a more detailed quite interesting speech about this facility by same Parliamentarian, And There are some big claims on this video.

The investment in Kırıkkale is mostly related to the navy platforms, large bore engines and armored vehicles. I gave the above two examples because the dear member asked a question about the machinery capabilities of the steel industry in TR. The other one is more related to the automotive and heavy vehicle industries.

As you said, really sophisticated systems are being built and/or installation completed for the production of MMU bulkheads. The Turkish aerospace industry is in many ways an extension of the US aerospace industry due to its share of business in subsystem procurement and its business models, many of which are ongoing. In other words, the production of MMUs would be similar to current US combat aircraft production methods. The reason why the built capacity in Turkiye is not fully understood is that the Turkish aerospace industry is now gradually moving towards its own designs and systems engineering and is only now building its product range after years of subcontractor position.

Good stuff coming out of TÜBİTAK it seems. The Integrated Processing Unit Project realized within the scope of the National Combat Aircraft Program will be exhibited at SAHA EXPO.
