I think the subcons better go low profile in case of embargoes directly or indirectly.

This is unlikely to happen. Most likely, in order to hinder the development of KAAN, they will try to sell Turkey their stale product - F35

 

[Saithan]

Or try to buy the subcontractors or make them go bankrupt.

Use foreign company to order parts, stall the process, delay, add cost to the subcontractors to make their life a living hell.

Only way to protect the subcontractors would be to make contracts like how F35 with Turkey was made, delays and such not resulting in fines and such.

otherwise we would be hauling in lots of USD from the delayed delivery.

Nice smooth flight for KAAN , i am very happy and every Turk must be .
But i want to question about this first flight , We know even america f22 and f16 crashed in their first flight , now KAAN when was going in air , his canards moved mutiple times , and remind me F22 canard problem that crashed it . So it is normal ?

KAAN take off -Canards moves mutiple times

KAAN stayed in the air for 13 minutes and reached a speed of 230 knots at an altitude of 8000 feet.

Thats 426 kmh for a test.

Damn that makes my cars look like school children.

Neither F-22 nor KAAN has Canards.
What are you talking about?

Elevators

He's talking about the movement of the elevators at take-off. It looks a bit excessive. Some speculate that the flight computer is correcting the pilot's input.

Yes, i noticed they were flapping a bit as well, but was unsure if it was on purpose.

No big deal I guess ? the oscillation looks tolerable (if any). Compared that to YF-16 first flight

Many fighters takes off with afterburner its too early for kaan to do so on first flight,I mean they will make up speed accelaration rules for this aircraft

What a time to be alive

 

[wolveray1]

Congratulation.
I'm sure every Turks on this planet who watch and read this news will be proud of today and remember it.
As a Malaysian ,I will like to say Selamat berjaya untuk masa sekarang dan masa hadapan.

 

[Yasar_TR]

Today is a day to be proud, for all us Turks.
Finally our big bird took to the skies.
Now the real race starts. We need this bird to go through all those tests that lie ahead with flying colours and in a time like yesterday.

It is the perfect first flight couldn't be any better. Heartfelt thanks to anyone who puts effort into making it happen.
