Baykar is build8ng a stealth unmanned fighter jet called MIUS. There will be initially a subsonic, then a supersonic version.

I mean the second tweet below

AI-25 / AI-322F engine

 

[Zafer]

I wonder if MIUS structural elements are agressively composite rather than aluminium.

 

[fushkee]

I still believe that for such a big project like MIUS, there is, at the least a posibility that Baykar has been getting technical and informational support from TAI about structure, aerodynamic, etc.

If there is such a thing they will surely make a mention of it along the way.

 

[fushkee]

The thing that makes me think, TAI has been dealing with many things like structural, aerodynamics, production process, etc. to be able to shape and procude such a aircraft and has bbeen beuilding massive test centers and laboratories suc as lightening test, wind tunnels, etc.

I have many questions in my mind

TAI are making planes 8 times more expensive, it is only natural to test them in the lab. Baykar on the other hand are making planes that are a fifth of the weight, a fraction of the cost and in a fraction of the time. It is only natural if Baykar tests its plane against real lightning strikes, against real air pressure, against real G forces without suffering major costs.

Where do you get your information about that tai is making the 8 times the cost of Baykar?? Especially TUSAŞ has past experience on everything and many laboratories already??
Don't comment with out having a proper info. By the he way we all know even though Baykara says they are making 93 percent local, it is much below 80-85 percent!

 

[Balamir]

As I guessed it will be MIUS/Kızılelma mini loyal wingman. In addition, they chose a name that will be talked about for a long time.

 

[Balamir]

I think Turkish Aerospace will make a big surprise about jet powered UAVs at the end of this year or next year.

 

[Yasar_TR]

I mean the second tweet below

If you mean Kizilelma; that is the given name of the MIUS unmanned stealth plane, meaning red apple. It apparently has some sort of Turkic mythological connotation.

 

[Zafer]

Kızıl elma means next major target to be acquired.

 

[Yasar_TR]

IP AF-322F engine has been getting planned for MIUS but there is no certainty after UKR-RUS war. I think Baykar thinks about the alternatives.
But the only option will be from the West.
The close one is to use Honeywell/ITEC F-125.

But there was a project as I remembered that TEI had got a patent of TF-6000 engine. I don't know the situation of that.

As discussed before, should Ukrainian engines prove to be unattainable, then for subsonic flight, Honeywell F-124 or for supersonic flight, F-125 version will be ideal. Even the RR Adour turbomeca is an alternative should US would cause problems with the Honeywell engine; until TF6000 becomes available.

It looks like 278th TB2 is still on production.

 

[Lupus]

I wonder if the operator who will use MIUS will be able to use this UAV inside a 360-degree training simulation which has environmental awareness (HAVELSAN tech.) within and engage in a dogfight or carry out an operation? It would be marvelous but is it possible technological wise.

MIUS will be heavily AI-driven requiring little to no human interaction.

It looks like a mini F-35
