Though this does not mean the engine is ready, only the first test of the engine, lighting the core.

The TF35000 Program wasn’t launched in 2022. Here’s an interesting fact about the habits of Turkish authorities: a project isn’t officially announced until it’s at least 70% complete. So, if it was announced in 2022, that means at least 70% of the work had already been finished by then.

I think even 2030 test will be quite extraordinary for Turkey. Let’s see if they meet their target in 2026. Very ambitious, however, but Turkey has surprised many with the scale and speed of its defense projects.

First test in 2026 is a fact, Aksit self told this in a inverview this year. He can not give any information anymore about the engine program it is decided to go secretly.

The first tests of the TF35000 engine that will power the KAAN will take place in 2026TEI General Manager Mahmut Faruk Akşit:The TF35000 will be a special engine designed for a 5th generation fighter jet. Of course, it will be a very superior engine, and there will also be additional technologies. Those studies are currently ongoing.The TF35000 will be able to reach supersonic speeds without using an afterburner.

They can not make, look to that countru they made it in 20 years. After we show a engine they will say it is ukraine technology or RR.

I advise Turkish soda cold.

Turkey already does the homework and then announces big projects. Very ambitious and hardworking people.

Türkiye is among the few countries that use fully independent power units in tracked armored vehicles.

Latest Status on TS1400

TEI General Manager Akşit: "Certification work on the TS1400 is taking a bit longer these days. Actually, the engine is mechanically ready to fly right now. We've done every kind of test on it. We even pushed it to 1700-1800 horsepower. So, the maximum continuous power requested from us was actually 1298 horsepower.

But just to be safe, we'd designed it for 1400 horsepower, but we went way higher, and the engine's still operational—meaning our engine is really powerful; we subjected it to quite a few unusual tests. Fuel consumption was a bit high at first, but we brought that down too. In fact, our engine outperforms imported engines in terms of power and capacity because that's what they asked from us."

I hope they can get it certified this year and start deliveries for production aircraft.

I hope they can get it certified this year and start deliveries for production aircraft.

Serial production deliveries for the TS1400 are beginning!

TEI General Manager Akşit: "TS1400 has started serial production, and serial production deliveries will also begin this year, but it cannot be installed on GÖKBEY and delivered before certification is complete. Because GÖKBEY is a civil-certified helicopter. The engine cannot be sold on GÖKBEY without completing the civil certification process. But we are starting the first serial manufacturing activities this year."

Good news.

they need to scale up TF10.000 to TF20.000, HURJET needs engine.

they need to scale up TF10.000 to TF20.000, HURJET needs engine.

I thought the same as well, but then realized why they haven't gone for TF20000 or TF25000 yet.

The more I looked into it, I came to realize the tech in the medium sized engines in this class(GE F414, WS-19 etc that power the F-18s and Eurofighters and J-35s) are more like the engines in higher classes like the TF35000 or F120 or F110(KAAN, F-22, F-15), than they are closer to the lower class engines like the smaller sized TF10000 and Honeywell F124/125(M-346 and F-CK-1) . The use cases are a lot more demanding and there are a lot more parameters that these engines have to deliver, compared to the smaller class, its not simply a matter of scaling up(technically scaling up can be done, but the performance and effeciency will not be there compared to a dedicated design).

We will likely see it after the TF350000 is completed I think, b/c by then the technologies developed for a military turbofan for fighter jets will have been mastered. Right now if they did it, two separate teams would be essentially working on solving the same problems/hurdles, and thats inefficient.

The breakthrough on the TF35000 will make building a TF20000/25000 much easier and faster. You solve the problem first, then you replicate the capability in a smaller engine. There is no getting around the TF35000, it needs to be solved first.
