Happy news long before the holidays.

We haven't even seen a glimpse of Hürjet yet but he is teasing with TFX already. I hope it goes all well, we want to be proud.

You are correct ! It is an old article . But this interview is new!
In fact he gives dates about the TFX as well! Out of hangar in 2023. First flight 2025. Delivery in 2028.

Hope they come up with a own camo pattern, "my personal opinion" don't want to look at the MMU and always have the Raptor in my mind.

 

[Glass🚬]

A very dark grey without patterns would be cool.

a comparison

Is it only me or all these aircrafts KFX, F22 and especially F35 is thicker than MMU.. We haven't seen the final design but from mockup and animation it looked very thin to me considering F110 and weapons bay.. F110 is not small. And if you have plans to put SOM J like missiles to weapons bay you need a thick plane.. I really like the design but still not convinced.

 

[Nutuk]

TFx is a very long plane, quite sizeable and that gives a thin look

F35 = 15.7m long
TFx = 19m long

Our TFX is a big bird. It is almost as big as an f22.
If you watch the video below, around 39.00 mins onward , you will see that the small mock-up Temel Kotil is holding, has plenty of space under it’s belly. It is quite wide too. There is enough space for smart bombs and a2a missiles. He himself even says that in the interview.

SOM-J isn't really THAT thick though.

You can see SOM-B, SOM-J and TF-X together in this photo, it isn't really that thin of an aircraft and SOM-J isn't that thick of a missile. As you can see here, even SOM-B isn't that big.

On TAI website TFX is shown as 21 m (69 ft) long.

F22 is 19m and it is not a thin bird.. First renders for TFX was even thinner if I am not mistaken. Well engineers and army would know better of course unless weapons bay are only for a2a missiles.

In interview, When the presenter asked the Göksungur supersonic drone for the second time, Mr Kotil had to explain the unmanned version of the TF-X for Göksungur. He said that when you take the pilot from the TF-X, it will become an unmanned supersonic fighter jet. In early minutes of interview, He told that TfX will be able to land on runway when pilot faint. It seems Göksungur won't be a simple drone and will host many technolohies of the TfX. Its rollout will be made after tfx anyway.

Does the engine exhaust have sawtooth design?

 

[Zafer]

Temel Kotil kind of said we a trying a smaller model of it now.
Perhaps he is talking about a wind tunnel model or perhaps he is talking about a functional small TFX.

Does the engine exhaust have sawtooth design?

It should, as this depiction shows.

Temel Kotil: 2x30.000 pound class engine will be used in the MMU project, he said.
