How about TB3 landing on Anadolu and MMU first flight in December?

-Flightine modifications to the TF-X are taking place with no apparent delays. It currently isn't allowed to film the aircraft, hence the reason why we haven't seen it in a while.

so when are we going to see the prototype 2?

 

[Celestyal]

so when are we going to see the prototype 2?

P1 is coming together nicely as well it seems. I would assume in a couple of months.

couple of months to start or finish? lol

 

[xbat]

i think we will see other kaan in feb or march 2024, it is being assembled for now

 

[Hold the door]

TAI CEO Temel Kotil insists that the aircraft will be delivered with domestic engines in 2028.

Does this seem convincing to you?

I think that TF6000 and TF10000 can be put into mass production in 2028.

 

[xbat]

well that schedule is still very optimistic, despite TF35K doesnt need a civilian certification , it is better to make F110 engines for 40 KAAN (about 90 engines) .

The U.K.'s Export Control Joint Unit on Nov. 6 replaced and updated its open general export license for goods in support of the Turkish Aerospace Industries TF-X program. The new license replaces the revoked license and allows for the export of "software or technology for the Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) TF-X Programme aircraft, also known as KAAN, from the U.K. to" Turkey and, in the case of reexports, the U.K.

that means brits wants to their share from kaan pie , they understood that project is going well and they cant stop it why not get benefit from it?

SAPPHIRE INTELLIGENCE (SAFIR ZEKA) PROJECT



Safer Zekâ offers users an environment that provides the tools, libraries, models and services they need in their work providing services in the fields of data analytics and machine learning. Safir Zekâ is from the family of platforms known as machine learning as a service (MLaaS).

Safir Zekâ offers a development environment in which existing machine learning (ML) libraries are installed, models compiled from publications with proven performance and high applicability by academic studies are presented as a ready-to-use service, and 3rd party packages can also be installed. Ready-to-use models can be accessed via a software programming interface (API).

Software developers, data scientists and end users can also develop their own machine learning applications with Safir Zekâ.

By using container-based infrastructure technologies in the Safir Zekâ environment, services are provided in a portable structure with high accessibility.


Safir Zekâ also has a simplified process wizard;


Instant data supply from external sources,


Loading data from local sources,


Data preview and normalization,


Visualization of processed data,


Creating a machine learning model,



It offers developers an easy-to-manage interface for training and testing all specified models. It offers developers an easy-to-manage interface for testing. It is also possible to automatically publish models produced with the process wizard.

Within the scope of the Safir Zekâ Project, R&D activities continue within B3Lab and it is aimed to increase the user experience to the highest level by adding new features to the system in line with the needs of the sector and the academy.

Safir Zekâ Project has been forked as Safir Zekâ Avionics to meet the machine learning requirements intended to be used for advanced technologies that a new generation aircraft may need within the scope of the National Combat Aircraft (MMU) Project, which was initiated to meet the needs of the Turkish Armed Forces.

Safir Zekâ Avionics is a machine learning library development project developed within the scope of the MMU Project, specialized for avionics data analysis and avionics artificial intelligence use cases.
