A really smooth take off, job really well done.

Hola como soy Gaucho, uso Google Translate (lo siento). Si tiene alguna pregunta o corrección, hágamelo saber.
Estaba pensando en ser parte del foro y algunos detalles que observé sobre este nuevo Kaan me animaron a compartir mis dudas y ser un miembro más,
Los he estado leyendo durante aproximadamente un año.

No es el mismo avión de la presentación inaugural, hay cambios y eso es bueno, espero que siga evolucionando.

Te dejo las imágenes y verás las diferencias en mi opinión.

1-Ligero cambio en la nariz, inclinación unos grados hacia abajo. View attachment 66031

2- Debido a lo anterior, entre el morro y la vela el piloto tiene una mayor visión hacia abajo. (Sensor locations are canceled for the first flight)

3-Por lo dicho, hay un mínimo cambio en el diseño frontal de la cúpula de la cabina (Ahora tiene un perfil más parecido al F-35) View attachment 66032

4-Los trenes de aterrizaje son diferentes, parece que son más robustos (f/a18 tipo hornet )... ¿Tipo portaaviones? View attachment 66029

5- Se cierran las puertas del tren de aterrizaje delantero. Por lo que siempre he notado, estaban abiertos en todo momento, pero los del eje trasero no. View attachment 66030
El tamaño y el espesor de la ru

6- Y creo que ya sabemos que los ascensores son aún más grandes.


Bueno, quería compartir esto contigo, saludos cordiales.

Much more quiet than I expected. Which is good because when we talk about stealth, sonic signature is also included in that.

And this footage is also a testament to how supermaneuverable this aircraft is. The slightest input to the elevons makes the airframe pitch up dramatically, like a prancing horse

It is obvious that the pilot has put extra effort to take-off in a rather dignified manner, and not to launch straight to the moon

TUSAŞ Deputy General Manager Prof. Dr. Fahrettin Öztürk:

- Production of the second prototype of KAAN started. Parts are being produced. After the prototypes mature, mass production begins. The number of these prototypes will increase to 8.

- Now we are also preparing the infrastructure for how to produce 20 KAANs. We are building an ecosystem. We design a supply chain for all kinds of risks.

- You finish the fighterjet, but if you cannot establish a good supply chain, you cannot mass produce it. You cannot reach the desired figures and prices. We consider all of these. In the future, thousands of companies will take part in this ecosystem.

I thought they had already started part production for the second and third prototype last year?

You wouldn't be mistaken

Theoretically a higher bypass engine is quieter as it has a thicker cold air stream around the louder exhaust stream. Custom Kaan engine is supposedly one such higher bypass engine.

I know but I'm staying that way, I'll correct it

Are you concerned about your country's independence? Let KAAN help you. Listen to the sound of freedom.

Saudis want to be a part of the Kaan project.

Saudis want to be a part of the Kaan project.

Technically or financially?

hell no

 

[uçuyorum]

hell no

A mistake that should not happen for any cost

I have no problems with financially investments.

 

[Zafer]

All nations want to sell stuff to Saudi Arabia, Türkiye is no exception.

 

[Iskander]

Saudis want to be a part of the Kaan project.

15 or 20 years ago, the Saudis ordered $110 billion worth of weapons from the United States. Serious clients. It's not easy to give up.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they order KAAN for at least $100 billion. “Halal products” must be written in large letters on board the KAAN.

 

[Radko]

KAAN
-halal product-

Lol

No F-35, no problem, as Turkey's fifth-generation fighter jet takes off

Turkey was expelled from the American F-35 fighter jet programme after it acquired Russian air defence technology.

It depends by what he actually means by "joining" the program

If Saudi Arabia wants to be a financial source to the KAAN program in exchange for gaining priviliges like cheaper sale prices, bigger discounts, and priorities to Saudi Orders compared to other countries, then I actually support the notion. KAAN program is undoubtedly expensive and costed and will still cost a looot; thus, having Saudi Arabia bearing a major chunk of the financial side for a bit of minor priviliges is a good deal for both sides

However, if Saudi Arabia wants to be involved in the Technology and Know-hows of building KAAN, then the onky answer is the middle finger tbh. The acquired tech and know-how is a result of suffering and embargoes for tens of years that Turkey should never even sell it to other nations

Maybe @TheInsider can clarify more regarding the "extent" to which the Saudis wanna be involved in the program
