According to Mete Yarar, we'll see a new ground test of Kızıelma soon
He said:
"We are closer to Kızıelma. Kızıelma tests and their results will be completed sooner than we expected and we'll recieve good news about it these days. It will be a step up from ground tests (runway taxi tests ?) and they will probably show it soon enough. We'll end 2022 with very good news."

Guys, what engine do you think TİSU/TİUS will use?

7+MTOW and it is not supersonic with good lift (flying wing)

Any ideas?

My guess would be F-124 or FJ-44-4. But another possibility is usage of a civilian business jet engine.

TISU will be powered by a single Al-322 or an engine in the same class. Later TEI TF-6000. TISU is a subsonic aircraft a single Al-322 will be enough to provide enough performance.

Doesn't make sense, why would you use a AB engine or non AB version of it with less power for a 7+ton aircraft, civilian turbofan makes more sense

TISU will be powered by a single Al-322 or an engine in the same class. (what I meant is thrust and physical specs like dimensions and weight)

I think you mean a hop, right? Not an actual flight where the aircraft leaves the airport?

So we went from a model prototype to a flying prototype in 8 months. Baykar is really fast :)
Will they post a video though?
