Yeah Tesla is great and the only worthy electric car if you ask me, it has 300km range which is huge for electric cars but still fossile fuel can do at least double as much.
Apart from that tesla is on par with conventional cars on everything else or even superior such as on acceleration for exsample.




Tesla model S can hit 435km range and it is cited by many aouthors as best car ever.

SYLMAR, Calif., Aug. 19, 2015 – PPG Industries (NYSE:PPG) aerospace coatings have been specified by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) for the initial production of its HURKUS new-generation basic trainer for the Turkish Armed Forces, with the potential for additional aircraft if production is extended.

Fifteen aircraft will be painted with DEFT® military polyurethane topcoat and eco-friendly lead- and chromate-free epoxy primer as well as specialty coatings for specific functionality to perform in the HURKUS trainer aircraft’s demanding operating environment. These include high-solids DESOTHANE® HS/CA 8100 abrasion-resistant topcoat, DESOTO® high-temperature epoxy primer and topcoat, DeSoto high-solids integral fuel tank coating, and an antistatic coating.

PPG Industries was chosen by TAI due to the superior quality of its products and services. In an effort to strengthen its position in the aerospace industry, PPG Industries has acquired specific assets of privately-held specialty coatings company Deft Incorporated.
The acquisition of Deft’s assets expanded PPG Industries’ product portfolio and strengthened its position as a leading coatings supplier for the aerospace industry. Deft’s waterborne and chrome-free technologies complement the company’s existing portfolio of coatings.

According to Mustafa Harman, PPG aerospace sales manager for Turkey, TAI is not only an original equipment manufacturer but also a key aviation industry subcontractor that is well acquainted with PPG’s coatings as well as its sealants and transparencies. “TAI chose PPG coatings for the HURKUS trainer aircraft because its experience has demonstrated the high quality of PPG products and service,” Harman said.

Through its acquisition of Deft Incorporated, PPG extended its portfolio of military coatings to include the Deft product line.

PPG Aerospace is the aerospace products and services business of PPG Industries. PPG Aerospace – PRC-DeSoto is the leading global producer and distributor of aerospace coatings, sealants, and packaging and application systems. PPG Aerospace – Transparencies is the world’s largest supplier of aircraft windshields, windows and canopies. For more information, visit HOME - PPG Industries - Aerospace

Live tests of 25 mm Gatling GUN of F-35, first 4 platforms to be delivered end of 2016 to Türkiye

 
Brother, I personally think 328 will serve more for military cargo, ambulance, naval surveillance, electronic attack, VIP, ISR, anti-submarine warfare purposes instead of civilian but 628 is a perfect cost/effective solution for regional airliner project. It seems that fifty 328 variant will be manufactured both TJ and T variants and Many will be modified in accordance with different military and civilian purposes.

If you reach more details about project and ownership model, Please share bro because the rate of critical production to be done in Turkey is the subject I am interested more in seriously. Turkey should be an airliner production center and Kazan should be the main production base. Otherwise, Such projects never serve the benefits of our industry.

328
