Each and every defence manufacturing field is like on booster in your nation

It really feels like it. Yesterday, the president of defence industry has said that there are now over 2.000 defense companies working on indigenous projects. We have over 750 defense projects. It's crazy.

- TFX's mid section with the wings was manufactured vertically as a single piece. It weighs 4 tonnes. And the aircraft will be comprised of 4 main sections.

You mean the bulkheads? I don't know which material is used with center fuselage bulkheads. If it's titanium, we can't press it. I don't know the heaviest press in Turkey.

TEI TF10000

TF10000 is the Afterburner version of TF6000. It has 6000lbf dry and 10000lbf wet thrust. The engine is TEI's first time designing a turbofan. The engine is intended for Turkey's supersonic drone programs like KIZILELMA or TISU. In addition, this engine will be used as a test-bed for implementing and testing the solutions for heat signature reduction.


"Having implemented the project with its resources considering Türkiye's turbofan engine needs, TEI is developing the first indigenous turbofan engine, TEI-TF6000, with 6000 lbf dry thrust. The engine, designed to support afterburner version, will provide more thrust together with the afterburner.

The TEI-TF6000 Turbofan Engine and its derivatives to be developed from its core engine are available to be employed on various national platforms such as manned-unmanned warplanes, business jets, regional passenger planes, civil-military helicopters with 10-ton take-off weight, gunboats, and power plants.

With the TEI-TF6000 project, TEI aims at carrying out the design, development and manufacturing stages of the Turbofan Engine, accessory subsystems, fan module, variable fixed blade compressor, flow mixer exhaust, afterburner for the first time in Türkiye, and achieve ground breaking technology, local supplier industry companies, and experienced human resource in our country."

TF6000 specs;

Technical Specifications

• Dry thrust (SLS, ISA): 6.000 lbf
• Dimensions: 860x1100x2250mm
• By-pass Ratio (SLS, ISA): 1,08
• Specific Fuel Consumption (lbf/lbs.h): 0,70
• Configuration
  • Fan: 2 stage axial
  • Compressor: 6 stage axial
  • Turbine: 1 stage HPT - 1 stage LPT
  • Combustion Chamber: Through Flow

The design of the engine is completed. TF6000 is in prototype-building phase. The engine will be ignited in 2023, first time. And TF10000 is expected to follow shortly thereafter.
