TF-X Turkish Fighter & Trainer Aircraft Projects

[era_shield]

Would such an engine not be feasible for TX (Trainer), AFAIK Freedom Jet was also being developed around a commercial engine.

Rollsroyce and SSM will come to a decision on engine for TF-X by July 31st.

The dimensions don't seem suitable for a trainer either. Its fan is twice the diameter of the Williams FJ44-4M's fan which was going to power the Freedom trainer.

Freedom jet was a dual engined trainer, from lattest we've seen from TX, it will be a single engined trainer requiring double the thrust thus a larger single engine...

SSM points 2023 for TF-X. But Temel KOTİL said first flight will be in 2026.
I guess it will be show flight in 2023. No avionics just skeleton.

Also we have an unmanned fighter jet program which is quite amazing.It says it will be for air to air missions. For AA missions you need fast ,high maneuver capable jet.We have really high standarts.

Erdoğans goons are pushing to get the deal for the co development to his buddy at bmc and the British don't like it because of the Qatari involvement.

Corruption fucking over the Turkish people once again.

They are right to be reluctant,that is why there is no progress(design/prototype) yet,doesnt look like its going to happen in the near future.

Pardon ... BMC is what??

Pardon ... BMC is what??

BMC is a lucrative Turkish company that was once seized from an business men and then sold for cheap to a pro Erdogan business men and has has since then miraculously received the Altay tank project and now has set up a BMC power company with no prior experience whatsoever and is now going to receive the TF-X engine project if it was up to Erodgans wishes.
