I think you're being unfair. yes, there are hundrads engineers and workers but you can't say they did nothing new. Develop new technology or the existing technology as their national facilities are not easy job. Especially, develop new product on air vehicles group harder than anything. If you want domestic aircraft you should national resources and you should create them by yourself. Lets look the TAI web pages. What they are doing that you didn't see.
- When you gain know-how on aircraft cababilities, you can produce it on its own anytime you want.
- When you have the trained personnel in the aviation design, you can create unique desings hürkuş, atak, some f35 components, some A400m components, ANKA, TF-X etc.
- These are cababilities:
- Design
- Composite
- Metallic
- Surface Treatments and Coatings
I would like to write the entire programs of TAI but you can look TAI's web page
programs section.
To train manpower efficiently for important areas which I mean it. We must be patient. We have entered the work at the last, but we are rapidly growing our own.
PS: I would recommend if you have the possibility to read the 'Savunma ve Havacılık' or 'MSI' magazines. There is an explanation why ANKA-S production took time .
