It's now referred to as Block 10, yes.Block 10 ?Turkish Aerospace Industries will soon start producing the TF-X Block 10, which is likely the first aircraft to be delivered to the Air Force Command.

Also the Hürjet mock-up on the rightTAI TF-X. Thx to @Keremhok on Twitter. (pic is old, and the aircraft wasn't painted when this picture was taken. So that bit was edited in.)

Yeah she is interesting isn't sheWow nice
I dunno why but this plane, at least the front part, really reminds me of the F-102, but made stealthy
probably because how far the intakes are and how high it seems like the pilot is sitting.
I am wondering if they plan to add more RCS reducing features to the engine area. such as serrated turkey feathers
Sadly can't touch the engine:/Wow nice

It makes you wonder if they are considering a Naval version.
Obviously they are considering it. A small aircraft carrier has entered service with the Turkish navy, and a project for a full-fledged aircraft carrier and destroyer is being considered in the future.It makes you wonder if they are considering a Naval version.
This is the old config mate
OK, thanks. I misunderstood my sourceThis is the old config mate
from the front it looks like the Lockhart planes and their clones the FC-35 and Boramae
but from the side it looks quite different, like I said, a stealthy F-102
at least we know it definitely has S-ducts from that frontal pic.
from Canards pic
we can clearly see a side bay, which means they went for an F-22 set up (2 side bays and 1 or 2 belly bays)
rather than an Su-75 style set up with tandem bays.
past depictions of the TFX showed both types
Yeah that's what's confusing me as well. There is definitely a door there but both the bulkhead and the design render show the station under the belly.^ thanks for the clarification
it does explain its rather long but thin fuselage shape
one thing that seems to be unclear is the side bays.
in the cross section it looks like it would open downwards
but on the unpainted prototype picture, you can see what looks like a door panel on the side
has anyone said its smaller than the KF-21?I don't get why people think that this aircraft is smaller than F-22 or even KF-21? (It is not)
No today. TAI is planning a huge event for next month as far as I know. ATAK-2 will get unveiled, TF-X will "officially" get presented, and Hurjet will perform her maiden flight I think. ANKA-3 is shrouded in secrecy... We might never see a ceremonial event for that thing.Does TAI have an official unveiling show planned for the plane? Kind of like Korea had for KF21? If so, have they announced when might that happen?
