TR TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

1st photo is tfx bulkhead 2nd photo is f-22 bulkhead.Tfx has 1 internal weapon station and f22 has 2 internal weapon stations.These photos show that the weapon stations will be vertical rather than horizontal.The photo shared by Afif is taken from the TAI poster from 2019.

That is true. Two tandem bays (like the Su-57) and two sidebays (like the F-22). Plenty of design inspirations taken from every 5th gen project there is. And it's not only limited to the "design" aspects of the aircraft. TAI is made up of clever blokes... Let me tell you that.

So in a minimum RCS, purely A2A scenario, load out would be 2 sidewinders and four AMRAAMs (or their equivalents)? Not bad. Not bad at all.

6 AMRAAMs are also possible

Obviously there should be 2 internal bays since it's even bigger than su 57.

TFX's IWB looks deeper than f22's. that plane wont be carrying 6 fox-3's, itll carry more!

If it can carry more than 6 Fox-3's then that would be fantastic indeed !

 

[Devence]

Obviously the internal weapon stations are larger than the su-57. Probably the 4x2 will be able to carry 8 amraam in total.

I doubt it's going to be wide enough to fit 4 missiles in one bay.

 

[Devence]

Considering that the tfx internal weapon stations will be larger than the s57, and assuming that my amraam is smaller than these missiles, why not?

2 Bozdogan and 8 Gokdogan missiles on 4 bay? I'm having a little bit Flying Sabri syndrome right now.

is this Turkish metaphor? never heard of it before!
6 BVR and 2 WVR are seems more logical conclusion.

Raython is working on smaller sized missile (Peregrin), to carry on more in internal bays.

Akdogan

 

[Baris]

Will Akdogan have a ramjet engine ?

 

[Fairon]

Akdogan

Is it really a Peregrine like missile? I hope it is. If that missile(Peregrine) work as advertised it will be gamechanger and I hope Akdogan is a missile like that.

 

[Huelague]

Akdogan

Is that the equivalent of Raytheon's Peregrine?

It will be small Bozdogan. For now it seems to have an IIR seeker but for a RF one, i would say why not.

Mr. Okumus has told it to be a compact missile to engage light targets (UAVs, helicopters, light aircrafts et al) but in my opinion they can also tune it for better performancr in AA engagement and it can be carried by drones, possibly in double racks per pylon.

SAGE has great concepts and hope TAF will give greenlight to at least to half of them.

@Radonsider When you will write something about TUSAS

 

[I_Love_F16]

Isn't Akdogan similar to a Stinger like missile ? If so then it cannot be comparable to Peregrine (Raytheon).

You mean Sungur?
