TF-X Turkish Fighter & Trainer Aircraft Projects

[-------]

Dear Turkish brothers ,Thanks for your support over the years ,Do you think there is any chance PAk can join in with your project for its fighter jet requirement if Yes then which areas you see PAK contribution

II'm not sure if SSM is willing to allow additional countries to join in on the project as developmental partner, that could complicate development of the aircraft.. Perhaps partnership like JSF consortium ?

For the best. Besides, Pakistan has no money, it'll be better off to buy the Turkish fighter off the shelf directly, Pakistan can save up till then.

Turkey Accelerates Selection Program For New Trainer Aircraft

Turkey is speeding up the process to choose a conceptual trainer alongside plans to build an indigenous fighter jet, Hurryet Daily News reported Tuesday.
Turkish officials said the twin crashes were a forceful reminder of a pressing need “to go faster” in selecting a fighter aircraft model based on which Turkey would also build a trainer.
“The new trainer will be constructed to cater for the chosen fighter model,” one senior official said. “The top [defense procurement] management is aware of a need to go faster with both programs. They will go with a ‘priority’ tag.” he added.
Turkey is looking for a commercially available fighter model to build its indigenous program on. It will then build an aircraft to train its pilots for the TX-F, the Turkish fighter.
Military officials say that ideally by 2017, the Turkish trainer fleet will comprise screeners, the Korean-made KT-1, the Turkish-made Hürkuş, the upgraded T-38 (T-38T) and the F-16.
By 2025, the trainer fleet will have the screeners, the Hürkuş, the indigenous trainer designed and developed for the fighter Turkey intends to build, the TF-X, and a combination of the F-16s, TF-Xs and F-35s.
To augment its trainer aircraft fleet, Turkey has signed a deal with Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) to buy 10 Hürkuş trainers, but is also pushing for a follow-on order from Korean Aerospace Industries for 15 KT-1s in an approximately $150 million deal.

We will see how it will be after the saw the results of this Project:

Beside TF-X an indigenous Jet Trainer will be designed to replacee T-38 ?

Lets's hope so. T-38 is a supersonic Trainer. CHILD NEEDS 9 months to be Born ....

Are you sure there will be a TurkishT-X? I don't think so. I think we will wait and see the result of T-X competition of USAF.

@manowar bro dont you believe we will make our ing fighter ???

TFX can be designed with similar spects to kfx c103 ia as a base design. It is like 90% what we want.

there are two types of KFX though. it depends on which design you prefer.

KAI KF-X - Aircraft Wiki

Two variants are currently developed:

• KF-X-101: Similar to the F-35 Lightning II, but with two engines
• KF-X-202: Similar to the Eurofighter Typhoon but with two vertical stabilizers

It is more likely that the KF-X-101 will be built because it has many similarities to the American F-35 Lightning II and it gets help by the American company Boeing.

that's for the KFX. there also the IFX ones that is yet to be developed. we can invite Russia for joint development of the IFX. since we're buying SU 35 along with the ToT, this will be great input to put into the IFX.

Turkey can join too. this project will undoubtedly goes better when both the TFX and IFX combined to make one Ultimate Jet Fighter

I believe bro, my comment is for T-X not for F-X. I think there will be no LIFT variant of F-X.

KFX bitmis oradan birdaha birsey cikmaz. ABD güneykoreye kuzeykorkusu ile JSFi yutturur.

Koreliler bir Tank Motorunu ve Güc Grubunu bile yapamadilar. Cünkü her is maymunlukla olmuyormus.

KFX only received a smaller budget for 2016 so it will proceed at a slower pace in 2016. Any deeper info you have? Yoda speaking.
