TF-X Turkish Fighter & Trainer Aircraft Projects

[ebrahym]

Unlikely, the tfx may comes with western avionics, i am sure PAF will opt for Chinese platform but not anytime before 2025.

certainly
going personal
your Flags caught my attention
can i inquire?

İ wish BAE would rethink.
They probably wait normalization in Turkey.

According to Bloomberg, the Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI)’s next-generation fighter program, the TFX, will be delayed as a result of the British government’s decision to monitor Turkey’s political climate in the aftermath of the failed coup attempt against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

In December 2015, BAE Systems was shortlisted as the leading the vendor to assist TAI in designing and developing the TFX, coming ahead of Sweden’s Saab and Airbus Defence & Space (Flight Global).

TAI and BAE were to finalize their agreement over the next several weeks, but the failed coup attempt that took place in July and the subsequent events that had occurred as a result of it pushed London to monitor the situation before letting BAE fully commit to the program.

Bloomberg noted that the British government’s decision to slow the process is “another example of how relations between Turkey and its western neighbors have soured.”

However, with long-term uncertainty looming over Britain’s economic climate (in the aftermath of the Brexit vote), BAE has much to gain from the success of the TFX.

In addition to the Turkish Air Force’s own requirements (of 250 TFX aircraft), BAE could also accrue ancillary gains from TFX exports to third-party clients.

With the F-35 still confined to a very limited pool of buyers (mostly within NATO and the U.S.’s closest allies), the TFX has the potential to secure sales in the Middle East, North Africa, and Asia.

Furthermore, if BAE is unable to commit, then another vendor – such as Saab – could step in to fill the void. Bloomberg’s source expects that the TAI-BAE deal will be finalized by the end of 2016.

Coup failed, Turkey has gotten rid of all little hindrances that existed be it political or social. whom ever tried to carry out the coup had cow dung smeared across their faces(whom ever they are).

So let the business resume.

TAI officially became the main contractor of the TF-X project

Türk Hava Kuvvetleri’nin F-16 savaş uçaklarının yerini alması için başlatılan Milli Muharip Uçak Geliştirilmesi (TF-X) Projesi’nde önemli bir aşama Temmuz ayında aşıldı. SSM ile TUSAŞ projede ana yüklenicilik anlaşmasını imzaladı. Edinilen bilgiye göre konuya ilişkin ilk imzalar 14 Temmuz 2016 tarihinde Birleşik Krallık’ta düzenlenen Farnborough Havacılık Fuarında atıldı. Anlaşmayı geçerli hale getiren imzalar ise devam eden hafta Ankara’da atıldı ve böylece TUSAŞ resmen projenin ana yüklenicisi oldu.

Savunma Sanayii İcra Komitesi’nin 15 Aralık 2010 tarihindeki toplantısında ilk aşamada kavramsal tasarım yapılması için TUSAŞ ile sözleşme görüşmelerine başlanmasına karar verilmişti. Kavramsal Tasarım çalışmaları 29 Eylül 2013’te tamamlanmıştı. Bu projede TUSAŞ ile Birleşik Krallık Firması BAE Systems projenin geleceği için işbirliği çalışmalarını yürütüyor.

Did you fly RC model of this bird !?

It's manned.

 

[Samak]

It's manned.

I knew ...
but producing an aircraft from scratch has some stage ... for example (i'm not expert ) :
1- modeling it in computer
2- simulateing air frame in compure
3- make small rc model to test it
4- make a mockup to add and desgine internal parts
..........

I just want to understand if Turkey make another step beside of computer modeling or not !?

Tfx is on early stages of detailed design phase. I believe right now only core team of 60 engineer is working on it. So That team is working on simulations And i didn't see any Rc model yet. But i read over 2 thousands engineers gonna be working on this jet in a couple of years.

This is your answer.
Here you are.

If Turkey must have RC plane , you will see it.

It's top secret info, dont tell anybody.

Has it been shared before . I've seen first time.

If BAE hadn't refused , TFX would be like this!
BAE Replica

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BAE_Replica

There is info It would be very similarly to yf23 to replace tornado. It wouldn't be one engine aircraft like f35. It would be two engine stealth air superiority fighter f22! What a shame , what a pitty we lost .

 

[Glass]

Is it now delayed or completly refused?

Two engine or one?
At the beginning of video, there was TF-X with one engine??
Videonun kapagi tek motorlu ucak. Video baslayinca bambaska?
