Due to costs and testing processes, the goal of indigenizing ejection seats has been abandoned. Hürjet and TFX aircrafts will use Martin Baker seats.

Fleets? Do you mean squadrons?F110 engines are expected to be used in the first 2 TFX MMU fleets. Afterwards, it is aimed to switch to the domestic engines.
Did TAI ever heard about something called embargoes? Something that is used 7 times a week against Türkiye?Due to costs and testing processes, the goal of indigenizing ejection seats has been abandoned. Hürjet and TFX aircrafts will use Martin Baker seats.
Yeah, this is old news. TAI has to deliver the first MMU in 2029 at the latest according to the contract. This is the airforce requirement but that doesn't stop them to deliver the first fighter earlier. I think TAI will deliver the first fighter earlier than 2029.According to the agreement signed with Turkish Air Force, TAI should start MMU deliveries in 2029. There will be no double seat version.
TAI TF-X everybody. Hydraulic tests will commence at 17.00 today. Engine integration was done in 2 hours like aforementioned. Fuel system tests were also successful. GTU-0 will make her maiden flight at the end of 2023.

BTW 2 squadrons+ prototypes+ spare engines mean we need around 100 engines. I hope TEI produces those engines in Turkiye.Fleets? Do you mean squadrons?
If stinks is a praise then your post stinks of appreciation.My post was a praise
TF-X will have 30mm gunTFX will not have gun , so what will happen if enemy aircraft comes too closse ? Since aircraft fly at supersonic speeds and is easy to encounter each other just few meter away . Both F22 and SU57 have guns but China J20 dont , there are news that J20 will aslo upgraded with gun .
I was thinking something different if is possible u can tell me.....
Building very small missiles like half of Cirit for very closse AA fight and mount 20 ot them insted of Gun . Aslo if is possible the big problem in dogfight for a pilot is when enemy gets behind you and shoot at u so is possible to plase some AA missiles backward and shoot at enemy in back .
Since TFX will have radar in tail so is possible i think .
Where did you get that from? AFAIK it will.TFX will not have gun
Given wings are that back, where is the center of mass and lift?TAI TF-X everybody. Hydraulic tests will commence at 17.00 today. Engine integration was done in 2 hours like aforementioned. Fuel system tests were also successful. GTU-0 will make her maiden flight at the end of 2023.

They're retractable. But they won't put the landing gears up on the maiden flight as usual.Does anybody know GTU has retractable landing gears or not ?

it is because of the camera lens, wings are not *that* backGiven wings are that back, where is the center of mass and lift?
Nice. Earlier photos was showing stationary ones.They're retractable. But they won't put the landing gears up on the maiden flight as usual.
That means the CDR will also be done around a year earlier. Though if we think about it twice, considering that the PDR must have been completed last year, it really isn't all that strange that the program will reach CDR status a year later or in other words, this year, 2023.TF-X's CDR will be completed before the maiden flight.
GROUND TEST UNİTDoes anybody know GTU has retractable landing gears or not ?
