TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

[godel44]

KAAN will have a comparable frontal RCS to F-22. I can't disclose the details but we are at a very good point in both RAM paint, RAM coating, and auxiliary items like RAM putty. The geometry of the aircraft and production quality already speaks for itself.

Is this certain or a guess? It would be far beyond my expectations if true. RCS of F-22 is tiny even compared to F-35.

If necessary, they should transfer the entire operation income of the Gabar martyr Aybüke Yalçın well to the SSB's 35,000 lbs engine project, this engine is the most critical stage in the phase our defense aerospace industry is in, a matter of 'okay this is the limit' or go on. Unless KAAN's engine is indigenized, it will be the Achilles' heel of the project

Nothing can be guaranteed until you put the fighter inside the anechoic chamber and measure it but I'm very confident about what I said.

In Pakistan, there was an engineering group of over 50 engineers working on the MMU, led by an engineer with Lockheed Martin experience. They were actively working on the MMU project and making designs. Tusaş Pakistan office said that they will build and fly a scaled MMU prototype this year.

Pakistan has applied to Tusaş to expand the Tusaş office in Pakistan and increase the number of employees. The office and staff will be expanded this year.

He says that potential customers will start to show themselves after the first flight of MMU. In terms of purchasing, technical and financial support, etc.

SSB did a very good job by advancing so many development work to fruition not leaving a single field unattended. It is better to have them progress to advanced levels togather than trying to make them into products relying on foreign parts as they complement each other. When the loose ends are tied we will have a national defence industry with a locality rate above 90%. The delays in question are tolarable delays as they stand now and when considered as a whole national defence is in good shape and is poised to make its jump to 90% within the next 5 years. We are on the verge of having radars on board and considering geopolitical consequences along with technological possibilities the timing of events will be arranged. I would rather advance in all fields at the same time than have major fields left unattended. It is only necessary to have them up and running before the water boils and not after. You open the top of the pot to relieve pressure and keep cooking until the meal becomes palatable.

What???

“Right now, we will produce 2 MMU per month. We can double this rate to four. If necessary, we can produce 1 unit per day, but hope we will not force to do so ( he talks about war).” - T. Kotil

 

[Angry Turk !!!]

Right now, we will produce 2 MMU per day

WOW

 

[Zafer]

2 MMU per day

Supposed to be two per month and not per day as a regular production rate.

 

[Huelague]

WOW

Per month of course

Trying to texture our hero Buchmaru's 3D model of the KAAN. I've UV unwrapped it, but I don't really know how to texture, so it'll be a learning experience for me.

Here's a preview:

Placeholder plain materials for now. KAAN's looks are definitely growing on me.

do you have the model's link?

do you have the model's link?

Here's their Google drive shared folder. It's a Blender file.

Hmm the nose and cockpit shape of Tempest reminds me of someone……

TUSAŞ CEO Prof. Dr. Temel Kotil: "HAVELSAN developed the simulator of the National Combat Aircraft. Air Force personnel of NATO countries constantly visit us. We tell them that it's confidential and that they can't take pictures of it."

Why is Turkiye showing the simulator?

potential sales within NATO?

Mr Kotil: "We're working on 6th generation aircraft"

makes sense, you don't wait until you finish the 5th gen to begin work on the next gen.
