Look at this beast! Increadible...
TAI must have downed an alien plane to copy their alien tech or something.
When A-news reporter writes GTA-4 cheat code on the console.
Would love to see it looking not so clean, with antennas sticking out from every surface imaginable ,How beautiful is the Air SOJ plane in the back if my elf eyes don't see wrong .
I think we can safely say production variants will have standard receptacle for booms. Old art also feature it.Does KAAN have Air to air refuling , i cant see it ? or will be in next prototypes ?
G.O.R.A. techTEI must have downed an alien plane to copy their alien tech or something.
This engine is with afterburner or without? İ don't know how to write ."The first 20 KAAN MMU/TF-X Aircraft will be delivered to HvKK in 2028 in Block 10 configuration and with the GE product F110-GE-129E TF Engine......"
Judging by the wording, looks like even if TEI gets the license to build F110-129Es in house or not, first 20 will still be powered by the GE engines.
35000lbf thrust is achieved with afterburners.This engine is with afterburner or without? İ don't know how to write . AFAIK 5th gen fighters must have different type of engine.
Edit: super Cruise
Supercruise is sustained supersonic flight of a supersonic aircraft without using afterburner (also known as "reheat"). Many supersonic military aircraft are not capable of supercruise and can only maintain Mach 1+ flight in short bursts with afterburners.
Does GE engine have super Cruise?

With a TF35000 it will.So does it make MMU KAAN Supercruiser?
Where does this 35000lbf figure come from? Are we using it as a placeholder or is TEI's target for the engine to produce that much thrust? Some suggest that its max thrust will be min 35000 lbf. Today, for example, @Avionot claimed that TEI is aiming for 38000lbf.35000lbf thrust is achieved with afterburners.
Dry thrust(without afterburners) should be around 26000lbf if it is synonymous to a F119 engine.
38000lbf is probably emergency thrust. 35000lbf is the normal limit.Where does this 35000lbf figure come from? Are we using it as a placeholder or is TEI's target for the engine to produce that much thrust? Some suggest that its max thrust will be min 35000 lbf. Today, for example, @Avionot claimed that TEI is aiming for 38000lbf.
What is the latest, if any, official announcement for engine's wet thrust?
F110's Dry thrust: 16,610 lbf thus GE's engines don't enable KAAN to have sustained supersonic speed without afterburners.With a TF35000 it will.
Unofficially F22 has been recorded to achieve 1.8 Mach supercruise speeds with it’s (35000lbf wet) 26000lbf dry thrust F119 engine.
It is Dr Aksit who mentioned it. He said we could produce an engine like f119 that powers f22 at TEI.Where does this 35000lbf figure come from?

The canopy + nose + wing resemble the head of a bird. Why is the canopy so high? For better view from inside? Aerodynamics must have been sacrificed.
