TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

Is it feasible to change the coating and paint for the roll-out ceremony in this short amount of time right now? Because if yes, they should absolutely do it; the coating and paint is half of the plane's style, and the current paint is rather dull. F-22's reflective shiny coating really adds to the charisma; I'm not saying apply the stealth coating that you don't have right now, but aesthetically something shiny always looks better imo.

Why are the stabilizers at the tail are very big

Why are the stabilizers at the tail are very big

They are proportional to the dimensions of the plane. With its 21 meter length it is 2 meters longer than the F-22 and only 20cm shorter than J-20.

TF-X has a locality rate of approx 85%

 

[MADDOG]

TF-X could perform her maiden flight in December

 

[Xenon54]

TF-X has a locality rate of approx 85%

Is it known whether its about weight or number of parts?

 

[Zafer]

I suppose locality rates are calculated by costs of components. And workmaship costs of designing and assembling of the plane are not included in the total. This should indicate how dependant the product is on foreign sources.

I wonder if this rate is calculated with the foreign engine at this stage or with the future domestic engine. Probably the serial production locality rate will be different.

 

[MADDOG]

They need to Paint it.

I believe they will.

Why the military though?
Didnt they intend to enter the civilian market through this company?

It is not unheard of that companies use the plants and facilities already existing at military owned plants.
If there's capacity of course.

We have developed the Helmet Integrated Imaging System ASELSAN TULGAR for the National Combat Aircraft (MMU), one of the most critical projects on the road to independence in our skies. #TULGAR, which will provide superior visibility to the pilot, allows the MMU to see everywhere with sharp eyes.
