TR TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

[Ardabas34]

Did he say Turkey is the first country to use digital twin technology in the making of a fighter jet or did I get that part wrong?

After USA.

After USA.

USA is using that for 6th gen but for the 5th gen we're the first

Ukraine participates in Turkey's next-gen TF-X fighter program

The Ukrainian company FED to supply tens of millions of dollars in components for new helicopters and planes to Turkey learned BulgarianMilitary.com citing Defense Express.

I am happy to be honest, I think We should involve Antonov more in this project.

This type of co- production treaties;
* Help the MMU being multi-national production promo and maybe new customer candidate,
* Shorten the production time schedule,
* Add new high quality aero level manufacturing partner,
* Maybe some new production technics in aerospace.

Anyway, hope good cooperation and sign for oncoming qualified partnerships...

Is there some change in the design? Especially air intakes look like tempest

Would be nice if they invested more into the CGI.. that's awful imo..

This plane got some looks tbh

this company seems also good choice if political conditions allow it.

This is mega news if correct. Izdeliye 30 is the one with 40000lbf thrust level TVC engine that uses single crystal turbine blades if I remember correctly.
But if the news is correct;
Who is going to co-produce this engine?
If it is going to be direct purchase, who will maintain the engines?
Is this engine ready to be used even?

Large pinch of salt regarding source credibility but news itself is worthy enough to check if it is correct or false.

 

[TheInsider]

Yeah, a large pinch of salt is required. Maybe we can transfer our single crystal technology to Russians and they might deliver the production and selling rights of their engine kinda like MKE MP5-G3 production. This way the Russians can get single crystal technology that they have problems with and we can save a lot of bucks and time with all the designing, testing, etc. Turkish fighter turbofan development efforts might cost as much as TF-X itself and there is a long road ahead.

According to recent news, Turkey has 4 alternatives for the TFX fighter until its national engine is ready
Lool... just imagine, Turkey actually succeeds in the TFX
It will be the second country after Europe to actually make a stealth jet
Omg will EU especially France and Greece will be triggered by the Turks and Erdo a lot in the future.... Man this is gonna be fun.
I really wanna see the faces of those who said that Turkey cant make a 5th gen jet

Agree. It would save time, money, and even provide the base for even better engines in the future. It may also give Turkish engineers a new perspective on how engines are created (if russian's engine is diff. Than Western' ones) as Turkey is more Western oriented
If Turkey is gonna give single crystal technology then Turkey must take the whole production; i-e, from scratch in its own homeland and the right to sell it. However, it must be a decent engine comparable to what the international community has!
Anything below that will be a rip off by the Russians
We dont wanna do same mistakes as Germany

It seems like fair deal, is that crystal blade technology that challenging that russians might consider this kind of swap arrangement?

Pardon ! But how do we know that our single crystal technology is at a level that can furnish AL41F1-izdeliye 30 engine’s turbine blades?

Might @TheInsider could give better answer as he insinuated that possible option as part of potential deal.

Our tech can double their engine's life
