TR TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

[Afif]

I am not saying they will place a 100-200 order tomorrow. However, over the timespan of the partnership they will operate TF-X in that magnitude. Remember, KSA wants to keep a strong air force with many 5th gen fighters and they are not getting that from the US.

it would be really good if KSA can get along with Turkey through some kind of major deal like that. but i think, this is unlikely.
And it is also hard to estimate what would geopolitical landscape going to like one decade later.
let TFX meet the Turkish air forces requirement first, then we will see how it does on the export front.

Front nose has changed from the mockup, as expected.

True, however I caution about the angle. we will see the exact look tomorrow hopefully.

 

[Baryshx]

The nose part is different from mock one, and is smaller i prefer the mock ones looks more pretty but still is huge powerful fighter aircraft

On the contrary, the nose part seemed bigger to me.

It's kind of small. I though It would as bis as F15.

21 meters in length. That's not small by any means.

As the friends said in the previous comments, this is because of the shooting angle.

 

[Turan]

I saw the leftmost missile for the first time, what is it?

Bozdoğan?

At least it looks small from the front
Comparison:

F15's "beak" almost definitely bigger.

Looks can be deceiving. TF-X's radome is larger.

What is the problem??

Same angle from the 'original', notice the watermark.

This is the most beautiful fighter I've ever laid my eyes on . Stunning!
Waaaaaaaaaaaay better looking than the mock up.
I'm melting....

 

[Era_shield]

undoubtedly, one of the first noticeable differences is the air intakes

There's little to no difference in the intakes. One picture is taken from above, the other from below. Stealthy S-shaped intakes are seen in the prototype and not in the mockup but we already knew that.

The visible changes are in the nose and cockpit area - there's a new device that seems to be an IRST pod, and the geometry of the nose and cockpit has changed.

Is first block of TFX still 4.5 gen or already 5 gen?

It's impossible that Tf-x will be 4.5 gen .

 

[Nutuk]

It has to be 4.5 gen first. We simply do not posses the engines to make her 5th generation.

If TEI manages to make suitable engines by 2030 we can upgrade to 5th gen.

So it's 5 gen but the engine?
