TF-X Turkish Fighter & Trainer Aircraft Projects
Moment ... a timeline that anyway does not fit and is impossible to reach is now called one year ahead and cut by one year to an even more impossible one and you still think it can be done since it is "official"??? :crazy: Come on, even by this official timeline, SSR is not yet done, detailed...defence.pk
"" Well you haven't even gone above 0 yet. Stop being so arrogant and dismissive of others who at least have many decades of similar experience you have not even done. Saying your country is full of good metal workers is stupid comment. You don't have the three main super alloy technologies. While we had those for decades and some in recent years. We have laser drilling and hollow blade technology you haven't even started touching the basic stuff. Telling us your crazy delusion doesn't make true. Telling us how shit people you don't like are also doesn't make it true ""
"" They are much worse, almost no experience. Definitely not the industry for heavy turbofan. Never made a single one. Never even made license full turbofan produced. No materials technology, no FADEC or digital control technology and experience. No single product that has provided even a year of service not to mention more than one generation of product near completion ""
if you know nothing about Turkish Defense Industry its your problem
even Chinese said China spent $1 trillion to develop turbofan Engine .........
still China has problem to switch Soviet technology to Western single crystal turbine blade manufacturing technology
now Turkey has the most critical components of a turbine engine such as the combustion chamber which is the most critical hot zone part. and single crystal turbine blade manufacturing technology
also Turkey has blisk and spool manufacturing technology as one of the most advanced technologies in the aviation industry

TEI has reached technological maturity to manufacture all sections of turbine engines. Nickel, Aluminium, Titanium alloys and stainless steel with different manufacturing technics
Impressive super alloy component and manufacturing process in Turkey
İnci Project: Manufacturing capability domestically for the titanium alloy parts needed in air platforms through precision casting method
Yakut Project: Project aims at acquisition of the Metal Powder Laser Melting (LAM) process as well as the process modeling capability for manufacturing of functional parts that have advanced mechanical features and can operate under challenging conditions such as high pressure and temperature differences in aircraft engines. Accordingly, under the project, the combustor component of the TJ90 turbojet engines, which consists of 9 sub-components, will be manufactured from UNS N06625 nickel super alloy material in one piece by using additive manufacturing method in a way to meet the mechanical requirements.
Through the know-how and experience to be gained with the YAKUT Project, it is aimed for TEI to become a main engine manufacturer that is capable of manufacturing parts by using additive manufacturing methods in its own engines in the long term
The Dilek Project: backed up by the Undersecretariat for Defense Industries, is carried out by TAI and TEI in collaboration with the aim of developing superplastic forming process for titanium alloys which are used in both platform and engine applications in aviation industry, and as a result reducing dependence on foreign sources.
Müge Project: The purpose of program is to develop Magnesium Alloy Casting technology
Dinç Project: 240t melting capacity aviation quality stainless steel and nickel-based alloys required to be used in aerospace platforms for the defense industry and civil purposes.
The Atom project: to develop nickel metal powder suitable for layered manufacturing for aerospace applications
The Elektron Project: Development of a titanium layer process using the Electron Beam Melting (EBM) method.
The Ayna Project: Development of new generation Aluminum alloy development
Turkey produce under license American GE F110 turbofan Engine for decades
Turkish TEI designed 9 stage compressor providing same press/airflow ratio with original HP compressor with 10 stage designed by GE
TEI designed combustion chamber reached %98+ Combustion efficiency in trials. That is a good indication for compressors and fuel injection working efficienctly to mix optimum amount of air/fuel particulars (1/14) in chamber.
Turkish Engineers took a GE engine which had 10 compression stages, modified 9 stages to where the 10th stage was not necessary and was removed. A GE engine modified by Turks with 9 stages outputted same power and efficiency, with weight savings.

only a few Countries have these high technologies in the World such as USA , The UK , France , Turkey , also China
Soviet ( Russia-Ukraine ) technology is different
China always struggle to have engine with more than hundreds hours under the wings. But it's only a time question.Of countries that have already finished modern engines of high power classes there is USA, UK, Russia, France, China, and Japan. Germany in the past and if they want to, I can confidently say Germany can do it in little time not more than 10 years. Sweden too in the past and possibly can do a new one under 10 years if they needed to. Same with Korea to be honest. Got the smarts the academics and the money. With the western ones they already have the experience too and continued experience. It is possible to jump in. China has.
See how it is difficult to study and produce a 1500 HP engine for your MBT (and the gear box also it seems). A fighter engine is another beast.Turkey could in some time but we will see.
It's not so mathematic ! The fine tune between the different parts of the engine needs special skill, something like intuition.Sorcery doesn't exist in working form. Engines exist.
China always struggle to have engine with more than hundreds hours under the wings. But it's only a time question.
Germany? No experience in hot core since ww2. Forget them.
Sweden? Their engines was a US engine, civilian or military one, derivative. No skill in hot core.
Korea.... ??? first time Korea is quoted to that level. No experience = the step is high !

The word "sorcery" may be discurbing, but it's not my word. It's the M88 father word.
See the Kaveri exemple : it runs well with AB. AB don't seemed to be the hardest part of a fighter engine. But the interaction with the hot core were never solved.
See China, see India : they all struggle a lot to produce a jet engine.
To be able to produce all the spares is one thing, but to fine tune the whole package another.
One time in my life I had the opportunity to discuss with the technical director of SNECMA in charge of M88, André Barbot (I met him durinf his on wedding. His son was a collaborator of mine). He explain me that it is like sorcery to fine tune an engine. He said not more than 10 peoples in the world can do that (some very competent engineer, with a harsh experience and a lot of prototyps behind them).
A mature fighter engine is something among the most difficult object to realize. It takes 10 years from scratch to the best, with so many skill behind them, to do that.
I'm very impressed by what you made with armed drones. But mark my words : your first on duty world class fighter engine is not for tomorrow, nor in 10 years.
Not really.A fighter engine is hard. Easier than airline engine because military standards for safety and economy is lower priority than performance.
Strangely the german leave the lead to SAFRAN for the next gen fighter engine...Germany has turbine skills like Japan and machining skills with all the core technology they already have or can access and buy if there is one part they cannot do.
Producing components is one thing (and the raw materials may come from US in the F110 case).Do you think Turkey has zero experience in Gas turbine Engines ?
Turkey produce American GE F110 turbofan Engine and GE T-700-TEI-701D turboshaft Engine for decades
also TEI has been manufacturing over 1500 parts across a wide range of products for the aviation industry engines in line with the principles of sensitivity and innovation since 1987 ... ( China and İndia have no western technology )
TEI has state of the art facilities and manufactiring capabilities
including 6-axis CNC ECM machine and ECM electrolyte conditioning facility which provide us with the capability of processing Blisk blades by ECM process ( only a few countries in the world )

also single crystal turbine blade manufacturing technology ( only USA-The UK,France,Turkey and China )

TEI has reached technological maturity to manufacture all sections of turbine engines.
Nickel, Aluminium, Titanium super alloys and stainless steel with different manufacturing technics
Turkey has developed 1,660 shp TS-1400 turboshaft gas turbine engine between 2017 and 2021 ( just 4 years )
in 2021 TEI has delivered TS-1400 Engines to TAI to be integrated into the T-625 Indigenous Helicopter
in 2023 T-625 Helicopter with TS-1400 Engines will make first flight
and mass production will start in 2024-2025 ..... ( just 7-8 years 2017 - 2024/2025 )
View attachment 769190
in 2018 TR-MOTOR has started developing turbofan Engine
and according to TR-MOTOR , indigenous turbofan Engine to be ignited for the first time by 2026
TF-X Fighter Jet with TR-MOTOR turbofan Engine will make first flight by 2029 ( just 11 years 2018-2029 )
if Turkey develops high performance TEI TS-1400 turboshaft gas turbine Engine then Turkey can develop also turbofan Engine
mark my words : as like Turkish Drone technology , You also will be impressed by Turkish gas turbine engine technology until 2030
Producing components is one thing (and the raw materials may come from US in the F110 case).
To be able to study, produce all the raw materials and fine tune a whole object is another.
In the case of single crystal blades, there's also a vast difference between a laboratory scale production and a mass production.
The best joke of that day !
