Google "boundary layer". There are many sources that explain it.I dont like the space between intake and fuselage. Doesnt look smooth.
The "space" between fuselage and air intakes is called "Boundary Layer Diverter" as above mentioned it makes sure you get clean non turbulent airflow into the intakes.I dont like the space between intake and fuselage. Doesnt look smooth.
Imagine it's a dummy and not the actual plane made to impress the high ranking visitors that day, lmao.
F-35 uses carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites for most of its skin which has radar absorbing qualities. It uses very little metal materials.Actually, i expected somebody to mention it but seems like nobody gave attention, Turkiye already has the ram type of material, but contrary to the US, Turkiye wants to add this into the composite material, other than as paint, so nobody could find what is in it.. thats why, Turkish 5th generation jets are made of composite as a whole but US and others are made of metal.
i believe US specially developed it as a coating to make everybody depend on itself, as countries change side every time. Actually, Turkiye also wants to do the same, but in reality, they will not need it for themselves but for export
You are rightI don't have extensive knowledge about this but does DSI not severly limit the topspeed of the plane?
As such is it not a "oh why did we go with an inferior option" and more a "We choose the option which fits the requirements set by the Air Force". ?
1. The original picture is low resolution and the quality is garbage.The problem is that it makes the TF-X's stealth serrations look like they were cut in a garage
2. You are conveniently ignoring that I literally showed you the exact same angle from the 'original' picture, to make it crystal clear to you that there is nothing wrong with the upscale, and that what you are trying to point out about the upscale is outright false.And now the media will pick up this misleading picture (I've already seen it used on a defence news site) and think it's a real photo and talk shit about the TF-X's "poor" construction quality.
Upscales are misleading and should be banned from this forum.

well, every Turkish defense project according to national media, either is poor quality or the Turks are the only and first ones did the damn thing in whole wide world. I don’t care as they are a bunch ignoramus who don’t know jack.The problem is that it makes the TF-X's stealth serrations look like they were cut in a garage in Iran. And now the media will pick up this misleading picture (I've already seen it used on a defence news site) and think it's a real photo and talk shit about the TF-X's "poor" construction quality.

For sure they are.View attachment 51903
Side weapon bay already present? Or are my eyes playing a trick on me.
Honestly I estimate if all tests go smoothly hopefully we will see this beauty in LRIP way earlier than the estimates made by officials.
Well, I am yet to see a mockup that uses real BMI/Graphene composites, real radome, and yeah real everythingI made a joke here but apparently some foreign media outlets are describing this as another mock-up likely prepared to convince a potential foreign investor, hence, the ammunition on the ground and the whole presentation around the bird.
Therefore it's not a 'leak' from the original prototype, in fact, they deliberately released this pic.
All this extra trouble has been made for the visiting delegation including this new and 'more convincing mock-up'.
It does make sense a little and it could explain the confusion about the engine being tested.
Also, I've read that the differences between this bird and the original mockup are too obvious.
Don't hate on me, I'm just asking. Is this a BS claim?
So, it's safe to say that this is indeed the prototype we saw a few weeks back?guys, check this out:
Πρώτη εικόνα από το τουρκικό μαχητικό TF-X ή ακόμη ένα πρόπλασμα; - Πτήση
Κυκλοφόρησε από το τουρκικό site Airturkhaber.com η παραπάνω εικόνα όπου υποτίθεται φαίνεται για πρώτη φορά το τουρκικό μαχητικό TF-X σε φάση τελικής συναρμολόγησης. Δεν μπορούμε να επιβεβαιώσουμε το τι φαίνεται αλλά κατά την άποψη μας πρέπει να είναι ένα πρόπλασμα και όχι το κανονικό...www.ptisidiastima.com
In a nutshell for those who don't want to waste their mobile-net on Grek shit:
-Hey look, it should be a dummy aircraft
-Aircraft is actually supported on tripods so these landing gears are fake! As you see this in 900 pixel photo(I am an expert and I see for you, don't worry) no relation to the robustness and complexity of normal aircraft.
-Look at these tiny air ducts and small-span, assuming they each have to feed a 10-ton thrust engine thats impossible. (I've already analyzed it with my dad's home supercomputer)
-This was not the prototype shown in November. So this is not realistic, I assure you.
-I'm not crying, just got dust in my eyes. But yeah, I have already managed to upscale this photo with the optical effect created by the tears, and evaluated within my great and unmatched wisdom, please don't question my degree, I have 4k hours in-game time in DCS.

I already pointed out that in your upscale, and only in your upscale, the serrated joins look like sh*t.2. You are conveniently ignoring that I literally showed you the exact same angle from the 'original' picture, to make it crystal clear to you that there is nothing wrong with the upscale, and that what you are trying to point out about the upscale is outright false.

My absolute pleasureThank you for the effort and time it took to produce an upscaled and cleaner version of that image.
