TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

[TheInsider]

The radar of Kaan will be better than F-35.
More T/R modules
More power
Bigger antenna (antenna size is really important)
360-degree coverage.

I'm curious about its algorithms and passive capabilities

I am suspicious about that. Eventually, it is a classified technology and even if he is a Turk, he can not sell or transfer the technology or product as he wants directly. There are some strict regulations and laws.

He doesn't mean that guy will bring US tech to Türkiye; he can't do it even if he wants to since he does not have complete knowledge of all details. The point is that he has excellent knowledge of how to develop such tech and has knowledge of know-how and know-why, which makes his existence an excellent opportunity for Turkish engineers in Türkiye.

Who is it?

Mr. Ergün Kırlıkovalı also developed US Navy's submarine's exterior material too.

Not only that but Mete Yarar thinks that the development of indigenous Kaan engine will probably be finished by the year 2026 which I guess is quite likely.

 

[godel44]

I wonder if he means the engines are here for prototypes or for prototypes + first 2 fleets.

That is wrong but it is close. Engines of all of the prototypes and block 10 aircraft that will be produced till 2028 are being delivered(in batches) not all of them are currently in TAI but there are some. I don't know how many but there might be something like 8-10 engines and the number of stored engines will keep growing as new batches arrive.

Mete Yarar become a clown always seeking to make "Show Off". He just open his mouth and fantasies, gossip оr shits getting out.
He does Not know when to STOP.
Even more if and ONLY IF it is True then he is Revealing information Without Permission


He is not clever at all. No technical thinking, No understanding of consequences, He do not respect other side when He ask a question and other side try to explain,answer.


Mete Yarar becoming Plague for Turkiye

Unfortunately he is not a Ioannis Theodoratos.

 

[Hasanrize]

It is painful to see there are still people in this forum who take Mete Yarar seriously.

 

[Zafer]

Mete Yarar maybe a showman but he has access to a lot of information. Sometimes he speculates but many times he mentions stuff that has not happened yet but is all set to happen. I would rather have him talk than keep him silent. No one wants to be proven wrong and I don't like to stay in the dark.

Somebody knows what is the engine of SUPER SIMSEK?

KAAN's head engineer: "Maybe you'll see, we have a 6 meter long titanium frame that is done being processed. On this aircraft (referring to GTU-0/P0) we didn't have the necessary equipment to process such parts, so we procured them now. This will bring huge advantages regarding the production of the second prototype. The titanium frame is currently being processed, the operation is continuing. We are also making the necessary modifications to the main assembly jigs accordingly. You should be able to see the second prototype in the flesh next year around this time."

Age distribution for the Manhattan Project:

As far as I know, average age of the KAAN project workforce is also in the 28-32 range.

Naturally, we focus on the output of the project as a product. But the real valuable breakthrough is not the aircraft itself.

LM is stepping up NGAD hype. First the F-35 cockpit tour, now this.

I have a question and its purely due to ignorance and not flame baiting or something.
How do you develop a simulator for a plane that hasnt made its maiden flight yet? I mean a simulator is supposed to simulate certain flight characteristics of a specific plane so how did they develop without knowing those variables yet?
