I think I get this referenceCall it "3D Mock Up"
some of you might get this lol
I think it should be a bird name and it should be eagle.Not to burst the enthusiasm here but I'm gonna be honest it will most likely be TF-23 Kartal, I don't expect anything "creative", don't forget it has to be something that they can easily market for export .
T=Turkish
F=Fighter
23= 1923 (founding of the Republic) & 2023(year of first flight)
Kartal= Eagle (its gonna be a bird 100%)

The eagle and nature have an important place among the Turks. '"According to the Yakuts, a double-headed eagle sat on the top floor of the sky and at the gate of the sky opening to the ground, at the top of the World Tree connecting the earth and the sky. The protection of the heavens was the duty of this eagle." Again, "In Yakut Turks, the oath is taken in the name of the eagle.
In the Dede Korkut stories, the braves is depicted as an eagle:
He who keeps a nest on the rocks
Flying close to the almighty God
The sultan of all birds, the eagle bird
Do alpine braves worry about their enemy on the day of battle?
Berkut (Bürkut) is a Turkic loanword, it means Golden Eagle.Bürküt :Berkut: Беркут: Kaya kartalı
Sounds Slavic
Might as well call it "Rapist" with that mindset.We should name it Irz Düşmanı (enemy of chastity).
Great for exportTFX is likely to be named
Türk Yıldızı
meaning Turkish Star
I like it
TFX will probably not be exported widely, I expect very limited exports as it will be relatively more expensive.Great for export
It is a different plane but it is like F22 and the F35. F22 is capable but not being sold for a number of reasons. Price and secretiveness among them. And some of the countries that you want to export it to maybe protected by having our bases there rather than selling them planes. A single engine plane can be cheaper while having all the similar capabilities as the TFX but with smaller combat radius, smaller payload but with the same sensor suit and awareness. TFX is a huge plane which not everyone can afford to have.I can imagine a vanilla version for export variant but a “single engine” TFX? Isn’t it a different aircraft in every way?
All are valid points and I agree with you but a single engine TFX (which is a huge aircraft designed with two engines to go beyond Mach 2) means a different design. I can’t see how can they overcome this with a redesign effort. That’s what I meant.It is a different plane but it is like F22 and the F35. F22 is capable but not being sold for a number of reasons.

Not a good name at all. Hope this is not true. It's unoriginal, uninspiring, does not have the right kind of connotations, and in English it sounds really arrogant ("star" meaning someone like a celebrity).TFX is likely to be named

It is high in the sky like a star, shines like a star.Not a good name at all. Hope this is not true. It's unoriginal, uninspiring, does not have the right kind of connotations, and in English it sounds really arrogant ("star" meaning someone like a celebrity).
