Oh not again, once more we come back to AKP this , AKP that bs. I'll tell you, I don't give two shit about who's the president in Turkey and which party has parliamentary control. Also, you're trying to disregard any official documents that doesn't suit your narrative and poltical views. Well, I've seen those tactics a lot. One thing I've learnt along those experience is that you sort of people never come up woth anything productive.

You are obviously a foreigner to Türkiye and there is no reasoning with you.

Haha, attack the messenger because you can't counter argue the message. A classic. You never fail to do what I expect.

We can't even reason with you and WE ARE TURKS.

My mistake @MADDOG @Windchime. Thanks for providing clarification.

My mistake @MADDOG @Windchime. Thanks for providing clarification.

No problem The media widely reported that the date was in fact 2025. Not your fault.

It's fine my friend.

So there were some doubting if these can long last witthout cracks. now, Is G sustaining test also depends on fatigue tests ? Or is it completely different one?

Fatigue simulation and testing would involve broad spectrum of expected load profile and expected durations etc.

G-loads would be the largest component of these in general, but there would be plenty of others like vibration, pressurization cycles, known impact loads and so on.

These all depend on where fatigue-prone materials (like Aluminium, Titanium and so on) are located, their specific geometries (especially critical but unavoidable concentrations) and so on....to then develop the best detailed design, quality assurance, MRO standards+schedule and expected lifetimes of components and the airframe itself.

Can anyone tell if spherical IRST on top of the TFX's nose will compromise some of TFX stealth ? I mean, it is a problem for su57 !

It's not spherical on the latest design.

non spherical, it will have a diamond shaped cover

Guys this is the IRST. The real thing is SLIGHTLY different that's all.

I hope the nose will be like a zigzag not like this.

 

[MADDOG]

I hope the nose will be like a zigzag not like this.

Serrated edges will be there, yes.

i hope the size of the radome wont be the size shown there. that radome looks rather small.
hopefully thats a obfuscation tactic.

@MADDOG can give is some info maybe

Looks can be deceiving. The radome is not that small when you're standing next to it. The cockpit mock-up was based on the aircraft's final configuration.

theres a lot of dead space between IRST and radome. i hope you are right.

 

[MADDOG]

I mean the real thing looked a lot like the mock-up you saw above, and the brochures weren't far off either. Dead space as in? It could've been a design decision taken on behalf of the aero team.
