TF-X Turkish Fighter & Trainer Aircraft Projects

[Babur Han]

Let's first produce an engine for the Hurkus, then we can worry about the TFX

According to the Roadmap Turkey will be Capable to finish the Development of an 20 -30 KN Engine for a UCAV, I see no big Deal that in this Timeframe a Engine for Hurkus will also be ready !

 

[Timur]

a bomber variant would be great all my dreams would come true..

 

[FutureMe]

So, do we delay TFX to make an engine for Hurkuş first, good idea!

Hurkuş engine is not critical and can be just purchased from suppliers.

 

[Babur Han]

a bomber variant would be great all my dreams would come true..

The Bomber Variant should have the Capabilitiy of multiple launching ALCM and supersonic ASHM super like the B-1 or Tu-160. This Capabillity would supplement surface and sub launched Gezgin CM and would enable TurAF to conduct strike on strategic Targets(Airfield, Industry, Raffinery, Ports etc.) who Threateh interests in the Straigth of Gibraltar/Sahara Region and arabian Sea !

Yeap, that's most important part. Finally the discussions regarding "if it is going to be 4th or 4.5th or 5th generation" can end.

It is gonna be a 5th gen aircraft which will replace F-16 fleet

Masallah, so our project is offically started....

I think our jet must have thrust vectoring nozzles...

And i think PAK FA's nozzles are far better... F-22 has only 2 way nozzles (up & down) but PAK FA has 360 degrees nozzles... With this nozzles our jet will have a superb agility...

Guys we will be able to use SOM-J on our F-35s...

But will we able to use these too...

- HGK
- KGK
- LGK

As i remember the 3 above will be avaliable too...

Turkey should team up with other advanced Muslim countries to make a good powerful engine for their fighter planes, the same with avionics and electronics suites.
If everything revolves around the engine, than that must be prioritized.

Which Muslim country should we team up to develop a powerfull engine for TF-X ? Is there any country that have serious infastructure to develop an engine Turkey requires ? Why should we team up to develop avionic/electronics, While Turkey's Aselsan is providing state of art electronic and avionics for already flying aerial platforms ? I didn't get some points.
