TR TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

[Zafer]

Isn't this building directly connected to the design bureau? I think it's a very convenient place for rapid prototyping. I would've used it for different prototypes in the future as well. The engineers could implement the design changes very fast. Is the building big enough for accommodating both prototypes and serial production lines? What if we had a workload of building 50 TFXs per year?

We do not know how much time each plane needs to spend in this station. If they spend a shorter time then more planes can be output from the line. If they spend more time then a smaller number of planes can be output. Additional capacity can always be created by expanding this space or creating another hanger like this at another area in the campus. Capacity is not a problem. We want 24 planes per year normally but we can make more. Mr Kotil said similar words.

Sure. But having the space is not the only issue. The testing and the logistics of the finished aircraft is also a concern. Imo, companies should have different facilities for prototyping and serial production. They should be purpose-built places for the maximum efficiency for cost, time and quality aspects of the product.

The company might have different, challenging projects in the future and i think that place is too good to be sacrificed for the serial production of a single product.

In the early days when Turks had the intention to build such things didnt we invite Pakistan to become a partner in it? Now Turks are proving themselves I hope we can bring many allied nations into these things, increase the number of units purchased and lower the cost per unit.

Surprisingly, many people on Twitter from various countries are saying that Pakistan is part of the project. @MADDOG can you confirm it ? Is there a true and clear statement from someone working at TAI ?

Not true,Pakistan is not part of the project.

There actually the more powerful GE-132, I wonder why you don't opt for that one especially that TAI engineers has expressed the need for more thrust

Hi there!
Just to give you info.
There are official Sanction Act voted by usa congress and signed by Trump ex-president. It is called Sanctions Act (CAATSA). usa is applied hostile act against Turkiye. It include many type of embargoes, including different sectors. Also included official government people of Turkiye etc.

It is still active and almost all "expressed need from Turkiye" were rejected, delayed in definitely in time(mean Turkiye did not received answer or any product).

So that is why.

Is TFX going to have dsi? Should we have it? And also if the answer is yes for the 2nd question then can we apply it in another bloc for the plane?

Imo, companies should have different facilities for prototyping and serial production. They should be purpose-built places for the optimum efficiency for cost, time and quality aspects of the product.

The company might have different, challenging projects in the future and i think that place is too good to be sacrificed for the serial production of a single product.

TFX deserves such a dedicated house for itself.

I am sure other projects get the attention they deserve too. Only someone from TAI can say definite words.

As @TR_123456 said Pakistan is not a part of the TF-X program.

Love y'all for making my day. But if you have hands on the unedited comment, please delete it straight away and do not share any further. I don't know how it works for our fellow moderators, but this is relatively important and I don't want to get in trouble for it.

Well, the KE taxi tests, which aroused great interest among aviation enthusiasts around the world, could stay on the agenda for a maximum of 1-2 days. Because now they are talking about the MMU. But it seems that now Hurjet tests will take its place. lol.
