Proper comedy show with a lot of clowns.

I'm afraid to click the play button. How many neurons will I lose?

He says it with such confidence I want to almost believe him.

Eray Güclüer said, Kaan engine is finished and ready for tests.

perhaps he means for tf 6000/10000??

he lives in his own universe.

among his comical rhetoric, he mentions TF35K to have 39k lbf thrust. It's in the realm of possibilities that he actually have heard it from some higher-ups, which would coincides with TEI's target selection methodology for new engine development. TEI aimed to develop a more powerful engine than CST800(for GÖKBEY) to replace it. The rationale was that if they failed to reach the target shp with TS1400, they should at least get it to work at CST800 level so that it would still be a viable option for GÖKBEY. I reckon they would follow the same path and aim at a higher thrust than the speculated 35K lbf thrust figure.

It might be the first ignition of TF-10000. Afterburner should be ready.

Looks like they are going to fly for the last time with the first PT, today they have shared on insta taxi test right left turns. I asume they did it for a reason.

I am astonished. Did he say when tests would start?

there's nothing to be astonished about. it's disinformation.

Our next goal should be a 14 (20) kN engine. Two of them could be used to power hürjet and a smaller version of Kaan. Both EF and Rafale use similar -in terms of power- engines.

hard to believe that this man is a retired colonel, a disgrace...

 

[Shtr]

I believe in Eray this time. I expect something from England.

What sort of something from England? Something from RR? I can't think what else you could mean.

That guy is a charlatan, the engine is not done.

Cut the coffee and sugar off this guy he's on auto salvo atmasyon mode!

Why would they stop flying with the prototype ? Isn't it a waste not to conduct further flights and test the same stuff but under different conditions and such ?

Because this prototype is GTU/P0 and it wasn't supposed to fly at all.

 

[Saithan]

I see, but what will happen to this PT then ? I think it's a waste not to expand the test field since it can take off and land. Am I wrong ?

Maybe they will use it for some tests which make it unsafe to fly.

 

[Osman]

It was a prototype for ground tests and elections

Next prototype will be smaller and see changes to the fuselage. So continuing tests with GTU would probably not yield any data that they could use in the development.

Need to keep in mind Kaan still has not undergone CDR and have its design frozen. I expect it will happen at the end of next year though unless they need to make further changes with PT-3 and PT-4.

Hope they keep it and put it into a museum.
