Probably it won't. Always clear weather is prefered for first flights.If that thing doesnt fly this week,i will kill someone!!!!!!!

Relax my friend. They may make the first flight before the March 31 elections, for election propaganda. Under the weight of this stress, you will fall ill by that time, God forbid! LOLIf that thing doesnt fly this week,i will kill someone!!!!!!!
All would be good if they hadnt given a fly date,it just pisses me off.Relax my friend. They may make the first flight before the March 31 elections, for election propaganda. Under the weight of this stress, you will fall ill by that time, God forbid! LOL

As if flying it is such a big deal for some of us but they made it a big deal.

First prototype was made befofe CDR was finished so there isn't much point to making more prototypes before that. KF21 was at a different stage of its development lifecycle.2nd prototype should have been either already finished or should have at least come a long way into its manufacturing. The second KF-21 prototype was finished two weeks after the first flight of the first prototype, and conducted maiden flight four months later. Considering how our timeline is more ambitious, we should meet and surpass these target dates, if we are to meet the goals.
It's not even clear if CDR for Kaan is completed.First prototype was made befofe CDR was finished so there isn't much point to making more prototypes before that. KF21 was at a different stage of its development lifecycle.

If it flies and finds things needs to be fixed, these are problems what would have occured at a later point and would delay the project. If such issues are found earlier by a couple years because we flew a prototype early that would accelerate the project compared to other approach. But yes this prototype GTU0 is literally ground test unit, not iron bird though.That's so weird. So it's kind of true that this is originally an iron bird, but the project made it evolve into a flying bare bones prototype? Wouldn't that kind of delay the project massively if the data coming from the flights forced changes that postponed cdr and manufacturing of first actual prototype? And if so, I heard they have already started with the manufacturing of a second prototype; the first iron bird into flying prototype one can kind of understand but what is this second one supposed to be if cdr isn't finished yet?
You should see a gastroenterologistI have a gut feeling that the prototype we've seen won't be the prototype that will do the 1st flight.
