TR TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

The heat signature of an engine plays a subordinate role in the air combat of the 21st century.
This is because aerial combat will take place beyond visual range, hence the development of stealth fighter aircraft by all major industrialized nations such as the USA, Russia, China and the EU.
Whoever spots the enemy on radar first and launches their BVR missiles has basically won.
If a stealth fighter is involved in a close dogfight, then the pilot has done something wrong.

This is also evident in the F-35's stealth, avionics, electronic warfare suite and AESA radar capabilities, which are superior even to those of the F-22 - the F-35 is a flying supercomputer.
The F-22 is a relic from the 20th century that assumed there would still be air combat like the Top Gun era with the first sophisticated stealth BVR capabilities.
It is still the best fighter in the world and in a 1 and 1 against the F-35, the F-35 would have no chance against the F-22 Raptor, but in a dogfight in Beyond Visaul Range, precisely because of the more advanced stealth technology, and the AESA radar and its electronic features of the F-35.
The F-22 would have great difficulty locating the aircraft to get close enough to take it out.

If everyone has a stealth plane, wouldn't this increase the possibility of WVR?

And wouldn't detecting the heat signature be even more important?

What your say fits the 4th generation air warfare

Makes no sense to detect the heat signature, you must first locate the aircraft and get close enough to fire missiles with an infrared seeker. Then you can also fire BVR missiles at the target from a safe distance and don't even have to get close, it's far less risky than active close combat.

You have to think of these planes as assassins that kill the target quickly and inconspicuously and quickly move away from the danger zone. Under no circumstances will they get involved in a fight if it is not necessary.

Company like that must be well protected by Cybersecurity.

Yes, that is it.

With the help of IRST and networked targeting, it is possible to generate actionable targeting track and fire a missile at a stealth jet from around 100 kilometers away without emitting a peep with your radar.

Thank you for posting. STG has done a fantastic job with it. Mind the fingers, the screen is usually quite hot

TAI is currently using the internally developed LAD on Hurjet now, but STG also plans to integrate their platform on the Hurjet and that deal is progressing nicely.

Their focal point is standardization. They aim to equip a wide range of platforms with the same large area display in the not too distant future.

welcome back like @Ripley you were not around for quite long time @MADDOG

Does anyone know if the vertical stabilizers design will change with the new prototype in 2025?

Why does it sit on top of the engine section, and not on the sides?
They leave a big gap for some reason??

Is there any part of Kaan that you don't find bad? Every other week you make a post to say another part of the plane is terribly made. What is your problem with Kaan and what are you qualifications to complain about the whole plane as you have done so far?

If you want to read only good things go to another site. Plenty of other places you can go for the nationalist echo chamber you’re looking for.

And I never said it was terrible, I’m criticising certain aspects. If you can’t take it, go somewhere else.

LMFAO calling me a nationalist, thanks for making my day. I never said I only wanted to read good things, but there is a massive difference in that and trying to understand why someone constantly shits on Kaan with almost all of their posts, pointing out this point or that point and calling it was made wrong etc. Seriously, what are your qualifications to say that? What do you know that engineers at TAI don't?

What you did was similar to complaining that a car is blue instead of red. It does not make any sense.

You, like most of us including me have zero experiance in designing stealth aircrafts but for some reason you felt like complaining about a thing you have no knowledge about. In order to criticize, you need to know that a certain aspect is bad. In this case, you have no knowledge at all if it is good or bad in order to expect if they will change it or not.

Your criticism is based on what? Does the looks bother you or do you think the aerospace engineers who tested that aircraft probably hundreds of times with computer simulations and in the wind tunnel facility made a mistake?

Guys! Let’s not get carried away please.
Instead of getting personal, focus on the subject in hand.
Not everybody will be of the same opinion as you. Taking that in to account, please discuss yor views civilly without being nasty to each other.
