    The new TAI facilities and national combat aircraft engineering center opened.

    Murted was the name of the place where that airport was built. In the war between Tamerlane and Yıldırım Beyazit, at that very place, some traitor (mean murted) Anatolian Lords had crossed over to Tamerlane's side and shot the Ottoman Army from behind, at the fiercest moment of the war. That's...

    T-625 & Turkish Utility Helicopter Programs

    Of course, there is! :) Otherwise, there would be no point in developing the TS-1400 engine. Every engine needs a transmission. Because they are like conjoined twins. If Pakistan still wants to buy light attack helicopters from Turkey, the model that Turkey will offer from now on will not be...

    Turkish Engine Programs

    i) T625 Gökbey using TS-1400 and domestic transmission. Not LHTEC CTS800. ii) TS-1400 is not using on T129 Atak. TS-1400 with domestic transmission using on T629&T625 Gökbey. iii) Again, most probably TS-1400 is never certified for T129 Atak.

    T-625 & Turkish Utility Helicopter Programs

    Correction, T629. Sorry for mistake. Thats true. But let's not forget, every engine needs a transmission. The transmission of the T129 Atak helicopter is also purchase from Italy in accordance with its contract. If you want to use the TS-1400 engine in T129 Atak helicopter, you have to agree...

    T-625 & Turkish Utility Helicopter Programs

    No engine restrictions by Italy. However, the transmission elements of the helicopter are purchased from Italy and they are adapted to the USA engine. If you are going to install a new engine, it means you will get permission for a new transmission from Italy. If you say that you will use my...

    T-625 & Turkish Utility Helicopter Programs

    Yes and no. The Gökbey helicopter flew with the TS-1400 engine and the domestic transmission paired with it. The T625 will use the core Gökbey infrastructure. There isn't a T625 flying around yet. After Gökbey is delivered, they will decide for the T625. For Turkey, T625 is not a priority...

    Featured Pakistan operationalises Bayraktar TB-2 MALE UCAV for PAF

    İt's true. Rotax currently a Canadian engine. But when we first flew Anka, we had a problem with another engine (Not Rotax) due to Austria. Thereupon, we immediately started to develop PD series motors first. Today, when the Canadian embargo was imposed on both Rotax engines and Wescam EOTS...

    Featured Pakistan operationalises Bayraktar TB-2 MALE UCAV for PAF

    I doubt that. Because 49% shares of TEİ, which produces PD-170 engines, belong to the American GE Company. Although Turkey is legally able to grant ToT to whomever it wishes, it will do so by asking the opinion of the GE Company in order not to strain its relations with GE Company. And GE...

    Featured Pakistan operationalises Bayraktar TB-2 MALE UCAV for PAF

    Anti Radiation drones, YES! Not missiles. TB2s either carry mini drones Kargu/Alpagu like or carry mini-bombs MAM-L like. They never carry missiles.

    Featured Pakistan operationalises Bayraktar TB-2 MALE UCAV for PAF

    First: The Rotax engine is of Austrian origin. not Canada. Second: Canada has embargoed Wescam EOTS, not engine. We faced the engine problem all the way back in Anka time and because of Austria, but we have already overcome it. Both issues are now irrelevant. Neither the Rotax engine nor...

    TF-X Turkish Fighter & Trainer Aircraft Projects

    You are right. If they apply the same technique for Gökbey Helicopter and Hürjet Jet Trainer projects, which are currently under development, and if the technique is successful as with missiles, the probability of success for TFX will increase as well. Time will tell everything, we will see...

    TF-X Turkish Fighter & Trainer Aircraft Projects

    @Deino They did the same with SOM, Atmaca, Hisar and the (Gokdogan&Bozdogan) air-to-air missile family. It was developed after extensive and very detailed ground tests, with relatively few flight tests. That missiles is currently in mass production. As far as I understand, they rely on the...

    T-129 Atak & Turkish Attack Helicopter Programs

    They must be radar warning receivers and jammers. Yes, there are probably minor modifications to the models that were delivered to different forces. After all, this helicopter is constantly evolving. So much so that there is no place to put additional equipment in the helicopter anymore. For...

    T-129 Atak & Turkish Attack Helicopter Programs

    With the FAZ-2 update, the T129s will have massive upgrades EW systems. Laser and radar warning systems & distruptors and much more advanced radio. Do T129s sold to the Philippines have these features? I do not know. If they have those lenses on their wingtips, they have those features. They're...
