I think it is listed as "F414: India Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft" rather than Tejas Mk.2, but I could be wrong and I am happy to learn new things. Because an export license of LHTEC engines for the Turkish army is already issued and the US government would just let the company to fullfil...

https://eurasiantimes.com/pakistan-inching-closer-to-t-129-atak-helicopter-deal-turkey/ Because it was reported by the media that Pakistan is still waiting for export clearance of LHTEC by the US government. If you have any news confirming that LHTEC engines getting a greenlight from the United...

https://www.savunmasanayist.com/hurjetin-motoru-resmen-belli-oldu/ "İlk kez SavunmaSanayiST.com tarafından öne sürülen bu bilgi, General Electric kaynakları tarafından da doğrulandı. HÜRJET’in prototip uçaklarında ve yerli motor programına göre ilk seri üretim uçaklarında, GE404 Turbojet...

It is not like there isn't a precedent. Rafale's technology demonstrator flew with a pair of F404 which was similar in diametres, lengths and other parametres with M88, but those engines weren't exactly the same. " This sounds like they are planning to fly a technology demonstrator as a...

https://aydinlik.com.tr/motoru-takili-hurjet-sahneye-cikiyor-230393-1 Apparently Turkey has chosen a GE F404 for Hurjet and that makes the whole affair a lot more interesting. Export of F404, a military gas turbine engine, is restricted by the US government which reserves a right to refuse...

Not every technology, but sensitive & critical technologies such as (military-grade) gas turbine engine are restricted, especially when the projects (both F110 and F404) were funded by the US govenrment. That's why Turkey could not procure a LHTEC engine when the US congress refuses to issue an...

For you information, It was about the Hurjet engine, not the TF-X engine as TAI has reportedly opted for employing a GE F404 instead of Eurojet EJ200 for the company's Hurjet project. Since the US government won't approve an export request for GE F404 from Turkey given the current relationship...

Because there is nothing to learn from what you have said. Just more wishful thinking & speculation based on words of people whose jobs & careers are depended on selling this 'national fighter jet project' to the people. The bottom line is that Turkey has decided to use GE F110 for TF-X...

(Sigh) I have told you repeatedly- it is the US government who decides, not GE nor TEI. GE gasturbine engines are a national asset of United States of America and even GE Aviation can't just do it without any authorization from the US government. (In fact, GE Aviation has been awefully quiet...

No, military-grade gasturbine engines ARE a matter of national security. F110 & F404-equppied fighter jets & trainers are very much active. In fact, new Boeing T-7A Red Hawk is going to use F404 and is still in development. Again, it is not about what YOU believe how old & irrelevent those...

TEI is a good subcontractor for engine parts. There is no doubt here. However, the problem here is GE F110 (and F404 for that matter) is intellectual property of United States of America and THEY have a final say over those engines, NOT TEI. There is no point of being upset with me for saying...

No, based on clamed & actual Mean Time Between Failures for Chinese engines. They don't seem like have a good track record. Yes, China may sell them cheap to some countries, but doesn't it mean that Chinese engines have comparable reliability with the best of Western Engines?

I am interested in the arrangements between Turkey and the US government over GE F110. Had they agreed to allow Turkey to use GE F110 for jets other than F-16? The US government is usually very specific on terms and conditions for gasturbine engine production licensing. You can only produce...

No, new sales of military grade engines is a subject of approval by the US government regardless the sanction. I am pretty sure the Turkish government is also aware of that, too. Hence, my comment - they made a very curious decision.

Let's be fair, though. Chinese engines aren't known for reliability either. What was MTBF of Type 99A diesel engines?

So, Turkish officials were talking about using of Eurojet EJ200 for Hurjet for a while, but now it seems like they have now decided to use GE F404 instead. Isn't Turkey sanctioned by the US? Yes, yes. The arms embargo is very specific and Turkey may get around with the sanction, but even then...

Not even 2 years. Officials are expecting the engine to be mass-manufactured in 2024. And they say TS1400 is designed for utility helicopter, not attack helicopter and additional modification has to be made to the engine for Tai/AgustaWestland ATAK.

Even Chinese have a problem with their turboshaft engine. They know the engine is underpowered (AND unreliable, but they will never admit that) and have recently announced an updated engine for WZ-10. Better not touch any unproven turboshaft engine.

Capitol police was overwhelmed and practically opened the flood gates to rioters. What a disgrace.

https://www.defenseworld.net/news/28460/Turkish_Aerospace_to_Receive_First_ATAK_GOKBEY_Helo_Engine_Prototype#.X_b719gzZPY I thought the engine is still a prototype and serial production of TS1400 would start in 2024 and the engine doesn't have an EASA certificate. Are you sure TAI is intended...
