Before you start blaming TEI with lying let’s get the facts straight.
TEI MD said that they have produced the core of a jet engine that leads the way to a turbofan. By producing the TS-1400 turbo shaft engine they have done exactly that. They have an indigenously designed and produced turbo shaft engine that works and is in integration stage to an indigenously produced “Gokbey“ multi purpose helicopter at the moment.
The TS-1400 is a radial flow turbo shaft engine. In order to try out the axial flow turbojet production, they produced the small TJ-300 turbojet engine that can power a medium range anti ship missile as an exercise of sorts. (This engine actually showed that it can lend itself quite well to practical applications.)
TEI also produces the T700 engine for the Blackhawk helicopters for Turkish defence forces. The hot sections and single crystal turbine blades of this engine is produced in house at TEI. It has more than 65% local production input.
TEI has the know how and expertise to produce turbofan engines. They have produced all the GE 110 engines used in Turkish and Egyptian F16 fighter jets. They do all the maintenance work on the F110-129 and F110-132 engines. TEI MD has openly stated that they can at TEI produce the F110 engine with over 50% local input level; with the rest being ancillaries that can be obtained from foreign sources.
There is a turbofan engine currently related to TEI (because of a patent application news has leaked) called TF6000. It has not been confirmed. But there are strong suggestions that this is an ongoing project at a very mature state.
Most of TEI’s indigenous work regarding Turkish military developments will never be published. They are not a university or a multinational engine design house that will publish their work for the benefit of their shareholders etc. Most of the work carried out is at ”state secret” level and under wraps due to foreign interference occurring in the recent months.
LoL. Buddy, even a secretive country like china whose engine manufacturer doesn't have any shareholders publish a lot a research paper, just as india and russia.Most of the work carried out is at ”state secret” level and under wraps due to foreign interference occurring in the recent months.
You don't get all the know how of a turbofan just by assembling 50% of that engine. And you get only 0% know why by license producing a foreign engine. We even produce more than 90% of AL31fp from ground up including the SCB yet we hardly got any know why.TEI has the know how and expertise to produce turbofan engines.

Small turbojet for missiles have nothing to do with a military grade turbofan.TEI MD said that they have produced the core of a jet engine that leads the way to a turbofan.

Turboshaft and turbofan are also different. Turboshaft's core doesn't even come close to that of a turbofan. The only useful thing you'll get out of the turboshaft is the single crystal blade, even than it's not enough cuz turbofan's SCBs are much more heat tolerant.

If you have any more information regarding the TF6000 than please share
