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.
Doesn't SSB own the rights of KAAN, like they do with Altay MBT?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.
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.
TAI is not overworking its engineers some engineers do overwork voluntarily these two things are not the same thing.Yes TAI knows that. They say they are overworking and they are proud of it. That is not a question.
Question is how long can they sustain this or is it sustainable? It usually isn't. We are not talking about just couple of years.
Temel Kotil seems to be more worried about finding his people more work to do than relieving them from work. Every project has its busy times until they get past their critical stages. Seems like many of our projects have just passed that stage and can move slower after just one year of time.Yes TAI knows that. They say they are overworking and they are proud of it. That is not a question.

KAAN cannot fly unless the relevant chief engineers give flight approval. You can make the engineer resign, but you can't fly the plane. Engineers who are not convinced that the flight is reliable also do not want to take responsibility. At least if they're in their right minds...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.
This is exactly what I said. The decision rests in the hands of TAI engineers.KAAN cannot fly unless the relevant chief engineers give flight approval. You can make the engineer resign, but you can't fly the plane. Engineers who are not convinced that the flight is reliable also do not want to take responsibility.

Funnily enough, that's exactly what Lock-mart has offered Japan to buy.are you aware what you want, this is F22 re-invented
