I am sure that Block 0 and maybe 10 will still run with F119 engines.

LoL, that would be great but USA isn't offering F119 for KAAN's serial production.

About F119 engine intellectual property. Can we copy this engine legal?

It is not possible to copy F119. Besides, TEI doesn't have any experience with that.

I have question though. Lets say we have finished manufacturing the engine now how long do we need for testing before mass production?
We can't know the answer to that. It's uncharted territory for us. It could be 4 or 10. We'll have a better idea and do more informed guesses towards the end of this decade.

Thanks everyone. I asked the question because I think there is a difference between what is advertised and what is technically possible. I believe that what Tusas achieved is very important and very good start for the future endeavors. But at the same time it is clearly just begining. We get ahead of our achievements like we have already succeded. Common people on the street think that we are just 3-4 years away from having operational Kaan with indigenous engine. I am very proud of what we achieved but also I am disturbed by the misleading news.

Türkiye can already make way better engines than what F110 can offer, it is just a matter of a few years of time.

Buddy, you have to wait at least until having a working prototype in class to claim that, Türkiye can already make better engines than F110.😅

We can already make parts of it, what makes you think we can not make whole when we wanted to. Some need to see it to believe it, I guess.

How do you know the TF6000 will perform successfully in the near future? Ditto TF10000. Ditto a much more powerful indigenous design.

PS I think that TF6000 will be successful. When? No idea.

The same way I have seen Kaan fly and because we work hard to make it happen.

So,we cant yet.
Dont do that,we are not others claiming to be or have when they are not and dont have.
Claim it in a ''few'' years when we have the engine.

We have accomplished the power turbine blade metallurgy, what else do you need to know to believe that we are very close to making capable turbine blades. It is easy to believe what you see but it will be too late to make plans based on it.

If calculations show that the project will be successful, what are the reasons for its failure? Just because it was implemented by inexperienced Turkish engineers?
Jet engines began to be produced about 100 years ago. It should also be taken into account that they were made by inexperienced engineers. Well, what could be the problem?
TEI PD 170 is said to be not only successful, but also a "champion" in its class. What does it mean?! :unsure:
