Explaining that they produced other prototypes from this engine and put them through very different tests, Akşit said that the difficulty level of these tests was increasing gradually.

Stating that they designed an engine that can produce 1470 horsepower during take-off, Akşit said:
"These values are about 100 hp higher than the competitor's current imported engine. We have increased our engine to 1570 hp, or even above it. There is an emergency take-off scenario in case it has to be overloaded for certification and qualification. Normally, the engine is designed at a maximum continuous power level of 1400 hp. even though it can be run to produce 1570 horsepower for 2 minutes and we need to show it to the certification authority. As of now, we have exceeded this power level, and we can run it at 1570 horsepower for much longer periods, not 2 minutes. This is a nice turning point. We will push it. We will announce the developments as the tests are done."

"Our President has cornered us"​

Akşit shared the dialogue between the President of the Presidency of Defense Industries, İsmail Demir, and the TS1400 engine, and said:
"Our president cornered us by saying 'Give this as soon as possible'. We are already a little ahead of the normal project plan and we are pushing our team. Our goal was to perform the first manned flight before the end of next year by obtaining the authorization from the General Directorate of Civil Aviation. Our President forced us to give it by the end of the year. "We promised to deliver an engine for the first flight at the end of this year or the beginning of next year. I hope we will do our best to deliver on that promise. Internally we have pushed this program a little further."
