    It is probably not a separate project from MİLDEN. This S-80 submarine has an interesting power system. First, it separates hydrogen from bio-ethanol in a reactor, and then it produces electrical energy by burning this hydrogen in the fuel cell. IMO, If the news is true, this technology will...

    Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments PART 2

    Whoever runs out of human resources first will lose. Ukraine has plenty of ammo, but Russia has more cannon fodders. We are watching an interesting war of attrition.

    IMO, since Ukraine has no aviation engine production capacity, the prototype of the TF-6000 engine is awaited for KE. Even if it is a prototype, that engine will be installed on KE. And lets KE and TF-6000 will mature together. Until the TF-6000 prototype arrives, empty-handed teams should be...

    T-625 & Turkish Utility Helicopter Programs

    As far as I know, work has started on a military standard lubrication system. It's a simple job anyway, it won't take long to complete. By the way, there is something I forgot to mention. If we integrated the TS-1400 engine into the T-129, we would have to continue paying the license money to...

    T-625 & Turkish Utility Helicopter Programs

    The T-629 will be only 500 kg heavier than the T-129. In return, engine power will increase proportionally. The best features of the T-129, namely agility and the ability to perform missions with high performance in the "High&Hot" environment, will be preserved on the T-629. Since materials...

    T-625 & Turkish Utility Helicopter Programs

    Yes, very sense. Although the T-129 is a good platform, she has insurmountable flaws. First of all, there is no room left in the body of the helicopter to upgrade the avionics. Secondly, the 20 mm automatic cannon looks makeshift. As the third, the ammunition strip is a bit fragile and...

    Of course. All tests will be completed with both the CTS 800 engine and the TS-1400 engine. The current tests are tests of the helicopter airframe and are carried out with the proven CTS 800 engine. Once the airframe proves itself, the same tests will be repeated with the TS-1400. Deliveries of...

    +1 Highly probably. IMO for TS-1400 a bit early.

    Pakistan - Turkey (PAC-TAI) Collaboration for NGFA-TFX 5th Gen Aircraft l Updates, News & Discussion

    I am not "youngman". On the contrary, I'm too old (50 years old) to argue with people who think their prejudices are knowledge.

    No, it doesn't mean that. It means there are priority differences between the two designs. While the F-22 gave up carrying long and bulky ammunition to gain agility, Kaan gave up agility in order to carry long and bulky ammunition.
