Can we use TS1400 on Hurkus in the future? We have a really powerful core which can be less powerful than current PT-6 but still powerful enough for HURKUS`s roles.

I think the original idea was to use the TS1400's air-breathing core for a turboprop. @cabatli_53 @Nutuk @T-123456

There is no engine design difference between turboprop and turboshaft, they are the same engines. Only powertrains are in different directions.

The TS1400 Engine consists of a two-stage Centrifugal/Radial Compressor, a Reverse-Flow Combustion Chamber (Combustor), a two-stage High-Pressure Turbine (HPT) and a two-stage Power Turbine (PT). The 2nd core engine prototype in turbojet configuration, which was previously exhibited at IDEF 2019 as well as at the Istanbul Air Show (AIREX) and at the 4th High-Tech Port by MUSIAD in 2018, has an exhaust vent at the rear section instead of a Power Turbine. Power Turbines are required for the transition of the core engine in turbojet configuration to both turboshaft and turboprop configuration.

The turboprop version of the TS1400 Turboshaft Engine is planned to power TUSAS HURKUS-B/C aircraft. In the turbojet configuration of the TS1400, the core engine can also be converted to turbofan configuration by adding a fan and additional shafts and bearings to the front side and a power turbine to the rear side. Turbofan engines have 30% to 40% lower fuel consumption rates compared to the turbojet engines; however, their production is more difficult, and their unit costs are more expensive than turbojet engines. For example, the unit price of an F107-WR-402 turbofan engine is US$190,000, while the unit price of a turbojet engine in similar class/thrust rates is around US$100,000.

Kale said that the integration and certification of the KTJ3200 to Som and Atmaca will be end in the 3rd quarter of 2021 at the today instagram live broadcast. This job has now become more than disgrace.

When we have a company like TEI, which gifted smartest person has been awarded to a subcontractor who is not interested in anything other than making a third-class undergraduate production?

I think the same...project started at 2012, at 2013 first ignition.

It shouldn't take 10 years to develop this engine..

I know, I was curious about the integration plans. Because Hurkus currently using 1500HP PT-6 engine. However, TS1400 produce 1400Hp.

1600

For Hürkuş TAI, there was no project other than an experiemental project, it will not happen any more. A turboprop will be made from the Ts1400, but these engines will most likely be for mini-passenger aircraft, I don't think anyone will be struggling for Hürkuş.

You don't count max power of engine that can be run for 30 seconds. It is 1400 SHP, you can look at TEI's website.

I think he means power of the engine Hürkuş is using now. PT6A-68T = 1600

Well now we have two companies that have the know-how to develop Turbo Jet engines that will be integrated into their respective platforms. This is a good thing, in the end, what matters is that the project has found it's end and not given up on.

Much respect to the engineers that have worked on the project, well done to them.
