I wish, oh how I wish if they could take a shot behind the engine during take off so that we could’ve seen flame extending from AB!

edit: I’m not challenging that it’s not an AB take off. No problem there

Can we estimate how long did it take to take off

I read somewhere that TAI plans to develop a manned stealth bomber like the B-21? Using the TF-35000.
They say after Anka 3. Or is this incorrect?

This was the image released by TAI, they called it Anka 4, and said it will fly alongside Kaan. I can't find the infographic maybe somebody can.

Here is the original of the photo:


Second picture from the bottom.

I don't know about a B-21'ish project from TAI and I don't think we're at that level yet. Only 3 countries in the world uses big ass bombers.

But I would be glad to hear some news from Anka-4.

There are official plans for twin engine Anka 3 but the design would be probably the same also tf35000 wouldn’t make sense because it wouldn’t need the ability to supercruise or have an afterburner.
This is a fan made concept like the ones above but a little more realistic.

Also don’t believe Turkish media outlets most of the are just propaganda and are overcompensating if you like Turkish MIC go watch Kaner Kurt or Tolga Özbek.

From this angle the engine sits kinda high.
I think the engine's height is normal and it's the fuselage that is quite thin on said engine's sides.
My theory is that they've left that area relatively "empty" in order to minimise the redesign if it comes to a twin-engined version.
Just my 2 cents.

This is a damn good angle. Looks vicious.

The serrated stealth plates look awesome indeed.

I think there are two possibilities:

a) They are passing cold air around the engine to reduce the thermal signature of the engine and that gap is what is doing it.
Or,
b) They are planning to use a much larger engine in future versions and the engine bay is designed accordingly.

You would have to change the entire design for two engines. Gapping doesn't make it any easier.
