TR TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

Why didn't Turkey went for DSI?

What is DSI?

 

[Nilgiri]

Why didn't Turkey went for DSI?

TF-X I believe is air superiority first, thus needs maximum performance profile available in the mach 2+ environment.

DSI can face certain compromises in this environment as it is not variable geometry.

It is matter of pros and cons....of what you want in the design profile, dependent on your doctrine with other aircraft in your arsenal.

What is DSI?

Divertless supersonic intake. The bump that F-35 has at its intake, that F-22 does not.

Turkey could theoretically use spare F110-GE-129 engines in its inventory,

These engines’ FADEC etc all set up for single engine configuration. For twin engines we were let to believe, they purchased 5 “sets?” f15 twin engine configured f110ge129’s. (But in one of his speeches , Mr Aksit stated that these engines will be built by TEI. )
Yes if push comes to shove, we will use some of the spare f110ge129’s in our inventory. I would not think they would be against any contracts. But we will have to reconfigure them.

Some interesting models on display.

Has someone a clearer picture of the poster behind the folks? That greyish camo really suits the TF-X.

I'm afraid that is wishful thinking on your part. And even if it wasn't, be sure the US would do everything to punish Turkey for its use other than on F-16's.

It's basically the same with the F-22 scheme:

It's basically the same with the F-22 scheme:

The one in the poster has a darker grey but the pattern seems the same.

The partnership that İsmail Demir mentions in the Turkish source used as the source of the article is more like KFX / IFX. That's why I don't think Pakistan will join TFX when it has a Chinese option.
