I think Anatolian Eagle is a pretty good name. It's pretty simple, and so it has some meanings. We are very focused on the effects it will have on distant geographies in the distant future but the top priority of this fighter is to protect our country's airspace.(I didn't say in terms of the mission profile of the plane.)

As somebody already pointed out, TF-23 Anatolian Eagle would be a very good name in my opinion. TF = Turkish Fighter, 23 = date of the first flight, (or date of the first commissioning), Anatolian Eagle = means the beauty comes from Anatolia and was designed to protect it.

I like clean names

Just TF1 would be nice, a code name can be given too..


AK is good but we need a m in the middle any ideas what could fit?

This could end up in good memes with Greeks like they got amk'ed 😎

My personal suggestion is TF23 - Tayyar. So in case other countries join the programme it will be easier to remember the name. Also a tribute to all the aviationist of the muslim world.

Anka (عَنْقَاء‎‎) is the Arabic version of Konrul from Turkish mythology (equivalent of Greek/western Phoenix, Persian Simorgh (سیمرغ, lit. thirty birds). So Anka would be a really bad name for a Turkish fighter jet. Konrul on the other hand I can understand. But I still think you can just name it conventionally something classy like F1 (Or maybe S1, for Savaş Uçağı N.1), instead of going the derivative route of TF (do American, French, German or British companies call their fighters AF, FF, GF, or BF?:ROFLMAO:) and have the moniker at the end like TAI S1 Konrul.
Anka is more Turkish than Konrul today since all Turks know what Anka is and nobody has any idea about Konrul. Anka being originally Arabic doesn't make it less Turkish in my opinion.

Also I don't like Konrul phonetically but that's a matter of personal taste.

What about Fatih? It would be quiet meaningful too.

We don't need another aircraft named Anka.

Fatih doesn't really suit it in my opinion.

May as well call it MF-23 Flying Carpet. So you know, no one mistakes it for an atheist fighter jet! /s
