The Turkish company TEI (TUSAŞ Engine Industries), an aircraft engine manufacturer, has shown the first official image of the TF35000 turbofan powerplant being created for the Kaan aircraft, which is positioned as a fifth-generation fighter.

The TF35000 with a thrust of 35,000 pounds [15.8 tons] is one of Turkey's most significant breakthroughs.

- says the developer.

As indicated in this regard in the Turkish press, the new product of the country's defense industry "challenges the jet engines available in the West and symbolizes the transition to aerospace sovereignty." In terms of thrust, it matches the power of the F119 from Pratt Whitney on the F-22 and surpasses such products as the EJ200 on the Eurofighter Typhoon (26 thousand pounds), the M88 on the Rafale (17-20 thousand pounds) and the F110 modifications used on the F-16 and F-15 (up to 29 thousand pounds). Only the F135 engine on the F-35 with a thrust of 43,000 in afterburner mode surpasses the TF35000.

According to TEI, advanced solutions were used to create the power plant, including superalloys with high heat resistance, advanced thermal protection coatings and innovative cooling technologies.

TF35000

The TF35000 is the result of almost two decades of TEI work. Previously, the company produced subsystems and components for engines such as the T700 (used on Turkish Black Hawk and T129 ATAK helicopters), and also developed the TS1400 for domestic rotorcraft.

Currently, the Kaan prototypes and the Turkish Air Force's F-16 undergoing modernization are equipped with F110 engines from General Electric. The TF35000 provides similar thrust, but guarantees sovereignty from external supplies dependent on the "capricious United States and the West as a whole."

In a world where air supremacy increasingly depends on those who own the power plant, the national engine will allow the country to take its rightful place in the international arena.

- it is believed in the Turkish press.
