Our second Kaan....

it is not the second KAAN. please have some common sense. A month ago Haluk Görgün shared the bulkheads of the aircraft and in the same tweet he explicitly said it's the second prototype.

we've been over this. there is a misunderstanding. what you see on that photo is the first prototype. 100%

He says second fighters in the video. Didn't see the tweet what you are writing about. We should ask people where it is or find the complete video of this meeting.

"2025 yılı sonunda ilk uçuşunu gerçekleştirecek ikinci prototipimizin üretim ve montaj faaliyetlerini yerinde inceledik."

Translation: "We examined the production and assembly activities of our second prototype, which will make its first flight at the end of 2025."

What do you think about a retractable and flexible rudder? I mean the vertical stabilizers, where they can be but from a horizontal position in to a vertical position. I saw this in an animation video of a Japanese 6.gen fighter jet.

Lots of mechanical complexity and will probably increase the radar reflectivity if anything at the joint

A retractable rudder has the purpose to minimize the RCS. But yes, the mechanical is complex. Where we lack a little bit…
