Low by pass ratio engine for MMU TF-23 KAAN
"Concept of the new generation engine. They are engines with low bypass ratio, fuel efficiency and small diameter high thrust.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Approx the engine diameter being the same; The F35's engine runs much hotter than the F22's engine and produces almost the same dry thrust.
The reason for this is related to the bypass ratio, there is also the metallurgy involved
Allows the dry thrust to be close to the thrust produced while the afterburner is active, paving the way for the supercruise ability. This allows the engine to perform at lower temperatures.
F110 has a very high bypass ratio, resulting in low engine dry thrust. With the afterburner, almost twice the thrust is obtained. For this reason, it is quite inadequate for supercruise.
Hence utill if MMU or KAAN uses F-110 engine it cannot super cruise and stay as 4.5 Generation.
F-135 engine runs at 1980 degrees, so a very high heat signature. The F35 has structural cooling to reduce this trace. However, with this cooling, we do not know if the heat signature goes down to the level of the F110.
Temel Kotil's statement, With the development & integration of national engine for KAAN , It will be able to fly at supersonic speed for hours. In other words, it is aimed at a similar level with the F22 engine.
Work has been continuing since 2018 under the partnership of TR Motor and TEI. Hundreds of engineers are developing the engine.The domestic engine will start flight tests on KAAN in 2028. Mass production deliveries in 2030 will be with domestic engines."

"There are 3 Main components [Including Engine] for KAAN which we import from abroad.
We will localize them and deliver them 100% domestically in 2028. The Local engine will be delivered again in 2028 to be mounted on the aircraft. After the tests that will last for 2 years, as of 2030, the delivery of Block 20 type aircraft with domestic TF engines will be started."
The Turkish Government has just allocated $3.5 billion towards the development of the TF-38,000 turbofan engine to be used in KAAN. TUSAS Engine Industries Inc & TR Motor will be co-developing the engine. Further $3.5 billion will be allocated for production phase.

"A team of 300 people is working on the KAAN engine, we have come a long way. Design process on its way."

Havelsan to produce Turkish TFX Engine
A strategic cooperation agreement was signed Thursday between leading Turkish defense industry company Havelsan and TR Motor, a firm tasked with developing the turbofan jet fighter engine for Turkey's TF-X National Combat Aircraft (MMU). Havelsan, a prominent name in developing software-based...
