>Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has confirmed that the United States Congress has blocked the export of crucial engines intended for Turkey’s indigenous KAAN fifth-generation fighter jet program
>This unprecedented move underscores the deep fractures within NATO and highlights the growing mistrust that continues to plague US-Turkey defence relations in the aftermath of Ankara’s acquisition of Russia’s S-400 air defence system.
>Turkey now faces an acute dilemma—either accelerate the development of its domestic engine technology, seek alternative suppliers from Russia or China, or risk strategic vulnerability by extending reliance on its ageing fleet of F-16s
>>
Turkey KAAN't into 5th gen
>>
>>64326658
How far away is Turkey from domestic engines? A few years, right?
>>
Turks should pay ukies to develop and make engines together, since ukies have the base industry and know-how for that, but don't have money to make new and better shit
>>
>>64326658
Not even memeing when I say that the KAAN project is dead
>US won't give them engines
>russia in incapable
>france supplies the greeks
which leaves
>UK
Not impossible but would require either the engine or the jet to be redesigned. Might be tied to eurofighter sales in which case germany will put the boots to the turks over EU and NATO fuckery
>china
Would be a geopolitical disaster and would ensure that the kaan never gets exported because it would be a threat to j-35 sales

turk domestic engines are straight up an impossibility without tech transfer, which they aren't getting since they aren't getting engines period.
>>
>>64326668

jet engine tech is probably the single most valuable thing that ukraine has right now. unless turkey sends over every last drone and artillery, ukraine isn't going to just give away the one bargaining chip they still have.
>>
>>64326676
it's not about giving away, it's about some win-win cooperation, ukies need money and load for their industry, turks need a supplier which won't bitch about edgogan and shit
>>
>>64326687
ukies are literally cannibalizing their existing jet engines. ukies have no capacity to export anything.

99% of jet engine design is public domain. The issue with modern jet engines is the last 1% where there is an 11 secret herbs and spices in metallurgy to make the engine parts withstand the high temperatures. Even if you managed to crack the recipe, the manufacturing process is very difficult and expensive to replicate. The solution is to do what China did with EVs. China found that they can't build good ICE for cars. So they sidestepped it and made EVs.
>>
Didn't Turkey want to produce them with the help of (British) Rolls Royce anyway? Or are there some American components that would give the US a veto right?

fake news.

congress did nothing. fidan just said this while in new york:
>One of our problems is the issue of CAATSA, which emerged after 2019. For us, CAATSA is a systemic problem that blocks the trade of defense systems between two allies. For example, there is the issue of the F-35s and the KAAN fighter jet engines, whose license is stuck in Congress
>The license must be granted for the engines to arrive so that production of the KAAN can begin. It may appear to be a technical issue, but systemically, when restrictions are placed on our relations with the US, this inevitably drives us to seek alternatives in the international system.
later erdogan met trump. then fidan said:
>We carried out extensive diplomatic efforts. In the discussions, an agreement was reached on resolving issues such as CAATSA sanctions that hinder the further development of our relations. Our priority is to ensure a ceasefire in Gaza as soon as possible
so actually the opposite happened. caatsa sanctions might be lifted soon.

NTA, but it's exactly the opposite. The aerospace industry specifically was a product of warfare and military procurement, not the free market. Any country that wants to 'catch up' needs to heavily subsidize their industry for decades to account for the huge gap in knowledge and technical know how.

Had been pumped full of subsidies and public finances to spur development. There's a reason why during wars technology jumps, and it's because governments are actually stepping in and funding research and development where the free-market won't. Free-market exists to reliable money via the cheapest means, not cultivate cutting edge tech. And, when the free-market does fund and cultivate such tech it's at a snails pace, and even then they still get gibs.

Ignoring things like NACA/NASA, the US has been actively subsidizing the basic research and development for gas turbines through their ATEGG program (continued by the IHPTET, VAATE, etc) since 1959 and JTDE (complementary with ATEGG), and that ignores specific programs for development for specific planes. Even more basic things like material science are developed by other programs.
That have been hundred of million dollars since those years just to develop the basic parts of gas turbines, it ignores the rest like contracts to develop XF and YF engines, acquisitions or "continuous improvement during service" (that has been used to fix major fuck ups with the core or LPC since the 1970s, see the story of the F100 engine).
Pretending any of that is "free market" is laughable and you can see similar things in other countries, but the US will simply not allow being second in gas turbines. And most commercial turbofans are direct derivatives of the core of military turbofan or rely most of the same production chain.

You need at least an F110 class engine to power an airframe as large and heavy as Kaan, and if American engines aren't an option there's only a couple of alternatives.

>TFX Engine"s third county options are; IHI Corporation XF9 (Japan),Xi"an Aero-Engine Corporation WS-10/WS-15 (China) and UEC Saturn AL-31 (Russia). Pratt & Whitney has F119 engines used at F-22 aircraft, but due to CAATSA, it is unlikely for Turkey to receive such engines from the U.S.
https://turdef.com/article/demir-there-are-three-alternative-engines-for-tf-x

If they settle for AL-31 Kaan will be underpowered, and AL-51 doesn't seem to be available for export. Japan doesn't transfer military powerplant as seen in the case of Type 10 powerpack for Altay. WS-10 would cause the same issue as AL-31, and China wouldn't export WS-15 either.

And as soon as you move out that umbrella you end with severe restriction and plain vetoes after the compulsory licensing of a foreign design to an American company. Geopolitics override free market.
And internal politics also overrides free market because the goverment has been incapable of not falling for bribery or urgency (because the US gov doesn't owns most IP to make engines) so having multiple engine providers is a necessity and they select competitors accordingly to avoid problems in the future (as a side effect it works to fund research in the losing company).

>TEI can produce third generation single crystal superalloy turbine blades
But can they do it at scale, outside of a controlled production run that isn't limited to time constraints and costs, without sacrificing quality? The single crystal blades are only one part of the equation, too. The ultra-high temp coatings applied to those turbine blades to make them last, (not grow and encounter creep, or rubbing) be efficient (work, reliably, at high temps), and have that coating not degrade, debond and flake off, etc is just as important and even harder to master than casting a single crystal blade. The chinks are having the same problems because they can't into material science, and I suspect turkroaches are too, as they can't just still that technology from Germany like they do everything else.

Proof? And how long does it last before you have to swap the whole engine out for a new one, like all Soviet junk? At what altitude are they doing their thrust ratings at? What altitude do the F110s do their thrust ratings at? What is the Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC) for both?

>Do you even know how engines are tested?
Yes, obviously you don't since you think a post maintenance static firing test is how engines are thrust rated. Why do you think during development, those engines go to the Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC) in the Engine Test Facility (ETF) to be up in their altitude chamber?

>The rest is off-topic, you can discuss it with someone else.
All of my questions are on point to comparing the AL-31 FM2/FN2 to the F110 series. You just can't answer them so you sperg out.
>>
>>64330220
You should know the conditions for which you can find the usual 'official specs' and that are the most common on the internet, especially if they add some extra figure like air flow to check for coherency and avoid ambiguity.
Btw you're free to post a complete T(M, h) plot for the F110-GE-129 or -132, that's the minimum necessary to do the comparisons you seem interested in.

>And inb4 'fake figures', there're ways to do a little of extra checking with the info that Salyut or Saturn published for the original 31F and the subsequent updates, but that is irrelevant on /k/.

My favorite thing about this isn't that you're using the shipping weights for engine assemblies, or even that you think the F119 has a worse thrust to weight ratio than the non-classified and exported F100 it was based on, it's that you think it's both heavier (by 1300lb) and less powerful (by 5000lb of thrust) at the same time than the exported F100 from 1989.

Really high-IQ and multipolar take.

Making the engine is as difficult as making the rest of the airplane.
Designing a new engine is way more difficult than designing the rest of the plane.
Assuming you are making modern stuff. You could change that by making a relatively primitive engine and combining it with a relatively modern plane. That would work, but it would result in problems. Modern planes have lots of electronics that consume lots of energy and require lots of cooling. Both the energy generation and the cooling is either done directly by the engine or is integrated into the engine because of all the cold air passing through it. And one of the characteristics that make modern engines modern is their ability to generate lots of elecricity without sacrificing kinematic performance.
So no, the vile roaches will not be making a viable engine of their own design any time soon. They have to grovel for a tech transfer.
And in regards to said groveling, jet engines are not simple plug and play devices. If the plane was designed with an American engine in mind and they decide to try their luck with a Russian or Chinese engine, that's another year or two worth of redesigning the plane to make everything properly compatible.

That was ages ago. For outdated NCA cells we are at:

For relevant LFP cells we are at:
https://electrek.co/2025/07/01/tesla-unveils-lfp-battery-factory-claims-almost-ready/
>Like several other automakers using LFP cells, Tesla relies heavily on Chinese manufacturers for its battery cell supply.
>Tesla’s cheapest electric vehicles all utilize LFP cells, and its entire range of energy storage products, Megapacks and Powerwalls, also employ the more affordable LFP cell chemistry from Chinese manufacturers.
>This reliance on Chinese manufacturers is less than ideal and particularly complicated for US automakers and battery pack manufacturers like Tesla, amid an ongoing trade war between the US and virtually the entire world, including China.
>The automaker had secured older manufacturing equipment from one of its battery cell suppliers, CATL, and planned to deploy it in the US for small-scale production.
>Tesla has now released new images of the factory in Nevada and claimed that it is “nearing completion”:
so congrats to the Americans for being able to run an old CATL factory in small-scale.

>>Tesla’s cheapest electric vehicles all utilize LFP cells, and its entire range of energy storage products,

LFP cells have about half the energy capacity of conventional lithium ion cells. The upside is that they are cheaper and do not explode as easily. But you wont get high performance out of them.

>>LFP was a US/Canada invention, with Arumugam Manthiram and John B. Goodenough doing much of the early work, and researchers in Quebec making several contributions to help with commercialization.

That was literally 30 years ago but this technology was commercialized in China, not America, because America is a financialized service economy, not a production economy. American R&D is basically advanced patent trolling.

Check out BYD blade LFPs against ternary batteries from 5 years ago. That gap is closing.

>>64332268
This board is pretty retarded about Chinese capability (le heckkin implessive), but if theres one area where China absolutely does not have an edge, it's engines/turbines. They are absolutely third place behind the West/Russia. And since Russia doesn't have the budget to build even fucking motorcycle engines, they're not even relevant at the moment. Call me when a turbofan made in the PRC reaches even 2/3 the reliability of US/western made equivalents.

>Do you really believe they released all thier nukes back to Russia? Hint, they did not.

ukraine didn't have the means to deliver them to begin with, let alone the means to maintain them in any 'active' status
ukraine wasn't forced to give up "their" nukes, they were told:
>ukraine either return them or they won't be able to interact with the international community.
Their choices were either submit or go North Korea mode over weapons they have no ability to use. Not even a real choice.

and anyway the primary concern was they would disassemble the missiles/cores and sell every single part of it to nebulous shadow nations/orgs outside of nato's knowledge
>you would absolutely get caught moving anything "radioactive/nuclear" anyway, no chance of not getting detected there
>>
>>64335129
WS10 is on a CFM56 core, tardo. In fact China never had a domestic turbofan project move into mass production based in saturn designs

>>64335172
West? Lol. EJ200s and M88s are not in the same league as F119/135 and WS15.
I don’t have Chinese MTBF/MTTR figures, but we know what the PLAAF training tempo is, so it’s pretty obvious they’re doing something right
>>
>>64335978
The EJ200 is better than anything chinkalnd can ever produce
>>
>>64335172
>>64332268
The problem isnt that China cant build engines. They can build engines, the question should always be about what the mean time to failure is for their engines are. And thats around ~1500 hours, in comparison, the F35/F22 engines avgs ~2500 hrs before needing repair.

So their jet engines engineering isnt as mature as western industry is, but its still functional.
