TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

So yeah, what was the matter with the TFX really.

Seems like my voice was heard and comes the re-schedule.

 

[MADDOG]

The flight control systems, engines and the hydraulic systems of the MMU were integrated without any issues.

 

[Agha Sher]

There are too many first flights in 2023. My nerves cannot take this, to be honest

 

[MADDOG]

"We're checking the fuel tanks and the hydraulics. We'll fuel up in the next days and then start the engines." CEO Temel Kotil

 

[Baris]

Maybe they purposefully said that it will fly in 2026 meanwhile the real target was always 2023 ? It would definitely throw off a lot of our enemies plans.

 

[Hasanrize]

What is the point of making the first flight this early? Many critical subsystems, such as BÜRFİS are not ready. What is the point here, except being able to do it ahead of the planned timeline? They can't deliver it to force before all critical subsystems are completely tested, so it won't help the final date either.

Actually it will, i mean the data you get from actual flights is much more valuable than any test you can do. Aircraft itself will be tested.

"Temel Kotil announced the good news! When will the National Combat Aircraft fly? "Crazy UAV" is coming!"

Kotil explaining why TFX is ready to fly earlier than expected.

As far as I know, PDR is not yet completed. When will CDR start is unknown? What is the point of this speed when PDR and CRD are not completed?

 

[Palaman]

Greeks are dead hearing this all their jumping for a few old Rafales were in vain

Isn't it bad that the Greeks did not develop anything while the Turks were doing this?

 

[Nutuk]

I have a bit the feeling that all first flights are pushed this hard to be used as elections material, hope everything will go without accidents.

On the other hand I am proud like a gorilla
Europe has yet to start:
- Eurodrone
- FCAS
- Tempest

I think we Turks experience luxury sickness right now

My TAI friend confirmed that MMU will fly this year.

So it would be nice to have an election from Turkey every year

 

[Rodeo]

The engine development has to keep pace with MMU development. Otherwise, the issue still remains to be the biggest obstacle of the program.

If the revision of first flight date will push the date of the first delivery forward is still unknown. We're not even clear of PDR(not confirmed) yet, but we're trying to fly the plane by the end of the year. Desperate times will call for desperate measures. The risk has grown. I hope it will pay off by encountering the problems early on and have more time to resolve them.

Regardless of the ruling party, the US will deny us the engines once the program enters the serial production phase. I'm sure of this. We have to put an engine on the bench as soon as possible and wear it out.

 

[Zafer]

So it would be nice to have an election from Turkey every year

Not only an election year but also the 100th anniversary of the foundation of the Turkish Republic. So a lot of meaning has been pinned on this year. Also geopolitical challenges require us to show some teeth while also our efforts have matured to bear fruit. So time is ripe to make our presence and shine.

Everybody has been astonished about the speed of Baykar developing and producing their platforms.
TA now is doing it like a boss! A fvcking 5th Gen fighter!
Parallel to TiSU/Anaka 3, Gökbey, Atak II, Aksungur, Simsek, Anka-S, Satellites, and more.
What a marvel!
Aren't we all lucky to witness these? Unlike citizens of other countries who take it for granted because it's been there since their existence.
My chest will explode!

Guys , some outlets Said that Hurjet will start trials soon , in addition to the TAI TF-X

Is there any thread here about the Hurjet ?

Wasn't the first flight on 29 Oct 2024'd? They will probably pull it to 18 March at this rate

I watched the interview. The first delivery target is still 2028. That means the prototypes will fly for 5 years before commissioning. They will test the aircraft through and through before delivering it to the customer.
