Turkey's First Indigenous TurboShaft Engine 'TS1400' Prototype Successfully Tested

[Abdul_Jalil]

Congratulations to our Turkish brothers.

That is the official time-scale we are given;

"For several projects that have been recently launched by Turkey and are still underway including Original Light Utility Helicopter, ATAK Helicopter and Turkish Utility Helicopter, thrust systems are procured from foreign sources. The Turboshaft Engine Development Project (TEDP) aims to decrease this dependence on foreign sources while enabling domestic production of the engine systems, which constitute one of the most important components of these projects, and increasing the percentage of indigenous production in these projects. In this context,Turboshaft Engine Development Project has officially iniated on 07 February 2017.

The project will be carried out under the leadership of Undersecretariat for Defense Industries (UDI) Sub-Systems Department, under which design, development and testing infrastructure for as turbine engines will be generated in our country on one hand, and the 1400 shp original and national engine with the applicable type certificate will be developed by TEI in order to be integrated into the Original Helicopter, on the other hand.

Turboshaft Engine Development Project will be carried out for 8 years by a team of approximately 250 engineers all of whom are TEI employees serving at TEI's Engineering Offices in Eskisehir, Ankara and Istanbul.

Any future derivatives of the engine may be utilized to power the national platforms such as ATAK and HURKUS. Moreover; core technology of the engine will form the basis for the engine needed for "National Training/Fighter Aircraft - T/FX", and it will be possible to develop the national aircraft engine when needed, upon any necessary technological additions to the capabilities gained under Turboshaft Engine Development Project .

well you already spent 3-4 years already so theres 4-5 years left the engine already running.

Certain parts of the project started years ago, yes, especially on metallurgy and studies produced to convince Turkish Government to invest in producing such an engine. But, Project officially started on 2017 as is stated on TEI website.

Still this engine has another 3-4 years to fruit I'm very optimistic about it.

some of the RD projects for the jet engine back in the day 5 years ago.

Awesome my hope is all that is genuine i mean it wouldn't hampered by any thing from abroad.

What would be the weight of the Turkish stealth fighter with full load?

These are the specs of the f-22

These are the specs of the f-22

F-22 has 2x22.000 lbst dry thrust.

F-22 has 2x22.000 lbst dry thrust.

the tall and weigh is the same of the f-22 there's no problem with you being ambitious as long as you can achieve it.

ther is 3 thing we still didn't manage to develop, we will fix it in no time or with the partnership of rollroyce will be solved.

The service ceiling and the range need improvement. Engine thrust over 20000 lb will be better.

Are the 600nm (1110km) in Subsonic or Supersonic, that's the question.
I think it has enough power for it's weight...

TFX:
MTOW: 27.000kg
Dry thrust: 2x20000lb
Thrust with afterburner: 2x27000lb

F-22:
MTOW: 38.000kg
Dry thrust: 2x26000lb
Thrust with afterburner: 2x35000lb

we have official confirmation that in 3 years (2021) TS1400 engine will be ready to be integrated on T-625 helicopter.

We have yet to have any information on engine pictured here
