TR TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

[hugh]

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.

Proper comedy show with a lot of clowns.

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

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!

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.

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.

Source for that?

Data they collect may not translate 1 to 1, but it is very valuable. They can verify and update parameters of their simulation, and gain a lot of experience for programming fly by wire. They can see how every single piece performs in real life and in air, from surface coating to sensors to fuel pumps.
