TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

[MADDOG]

Do you think we will see changes to the wings, horizontal and vertical stabilizers?

Can't go into specifics. It won't be a long wait don't worry

She seems pretty and shape. I think time is coming to delete the huge puntoed name on it (more suitable to put smaller puntos) and paint with some darker colours than the grey, right?

Aviationweek magazine has released the long-awaited photo. The magazine published a photo of KAAN from the top on its cover. So I was able to compare its size with other planes. I got the dimensions of KAAN, F-15C and F-16C from wikipedia. I also added Photoshop's ruler to the image. So I was able to make a scaled size comparison using real photos.

Congratulations and thank you for taking your time.

Good job but that blurry Kaan was killing me:

I couldn't find the high resolution photo. Thank you very much for your editing.

KAAN will fly soon?

The dimension of the Plane alone shows why we really need a stronger engine than the one from the F-16.

Kaan looks like big brother of F22, abisi...

Not at all, it is the junior one who is always tallest in the family.

KAAN is neither long nor small compare to her competitors. She is just how she must be.

okay i agree

KAAN is neither long nor small compare to her competitors. She is just how she must be.

i guess that Tusas engineers designed it bigger for loading more internal ammunutions. internal weapon capacity is biggest problem of 5 th gen fighter jets.

Or he could be talking about Kaan P1 and not the P0

 

[TheInsider]

TAI is at the helm of the project. The decision of the first flight is TAI's responsibility so we should take TAI's word when different announcements are made.

 

[TheInsider]

Owning the rights to the end product doesn't mean running the project. SSB has no right to declare a first flight date. According to the signed MMU protocol design, development, production, and any activity related to those is the responsibility of TAI so engineers of TAI will decide if the MMU is cleared for the first flight, not SSB bureaucrats.

 

[Fairon]

On the other hand overworking the engineers could have potential the hurt the projects in the long run.

This is a marathon( even if we consider 2028 delivery) and at some point there is a risk of overworking and burning out the engineers. We should relax a bit. An accident could potentially became a disaster for TUSAS.

We should relax a bit. Or TUSAS plans on feeding new young engineers to projects to replace burned out ones.

 

[TheInsider]

TAI knows best if the engineers are overworking or not or if the aircraft is fit to conduct its first flight. I doubt any SSB bureaucrats have any detailed data about the airworthiness of Kaan.
