indeed she's big..
while the TFX has some clean lines, it has a big and brutish vibe.. kinda like the MiG-31.
To be clear, this sim was developed for technofest. Technofest is as name suggests a technology festival for children - hence the vr sim was developed for children and not an accurate representation of TFX.
The IWB configuration has indeed changed.^
well, outside of the US, most countries designs tend to be more derivative (follow the leader). So would not be surprised they would look more like the YF-23. Keep in mind Japan had 2 YF-23 style designs on the drawing board. In contrast, Su-57 might have looked more like the F-22 instead.
anyways nice new pics.
you can finally see the bottom bays
its location indicates that they are side by side bays.
not two tandem bays as claimed earlier

Isn't it a 2 part door for the main landing gear? It folds forwards and rotates. The MLG door shown open in the pictures isn't large enough to accommodate this? Then again the door you highlight looks too long for this; maybe it doubles with equipment bay accessyou can finally see the bottom bays

"Prototype products within the scope of "Development of Long Wavelength Infrared Trace Reduction Paint" and "Development of Radar Absorbing Paste (Sealant)" carried out with TAI, which will contribute to the projects we will develop regarding invisibility (trace reduction) technology, which is very critical for the 5th generation aircraft. We completed the production and passed the performance tests."
https://arproged.okan.edu.tr/tr/fee...-ve-teknolojik-bagimsizligina-adanmis-bir-yil"We have successfully completed the development, verification and acceptance activities of the RASEM software, which will be used in the electromagnetic design processes to give the National Combat Aircraft (MMU) invisibility under radar, and delivered the software to TAI. At the same time, we completed the set designs within the scope of the HAVSET-Phase 1 project to ensure the low visibility of the air duct of the MMU on radar and delivered to TAI; Thus, we have moved on to Phase 2 of the HAVSET project."
What useful performance specs are included in that and why are those "good"?It has good specs.
1280x1024 is respectable, no?What useful performance specs are included in that and why are those "good"?It has good specs.
Standard for brand new stuff (KF-21 EOTGP for example)Pretty standard tbh and not that relevant to end performance
Considering the superficial performance of CATS and ASELPOD (both 648x512 MWIR), this is a massive step for ASELSAN.Pretty standard tbh and not that relevant to end performance
Detector resolution plays an important role but it doesn't matter. Just because it's a small part of the equation doesn't change the fact that is indeed a part of the equation. You see, the term "end performance" is rather vague. Considering there won't be colossal mishaps with the rest of the platform (ASELSAN has proven its worth as a company to begin with), the end product will most likely be on par with her close competitors albeit being a little heavier.I can buy a HD IR camera online for 50k...
Detector resolution is only one small part of end performance. There are many other important characteristics, that are mostly not listed on pr brochures.
Yeah but it's lifecycle, pixel pitch (probably), noise, algorithms, stabilisation, zoom, post processing etc will be much worse.I can buy a HD IR camera online for 50k...

I mean if that's what you for from our comments you should check yourselfI am sorry for questioning the Turkish super fighter
You should be apologizing for opening a whole discussion over a single word But I don't mind it. Of course you may question the aircraft, it has been done before. I've heard a lot of ridiculous statements over these 10 years. As I said I don't mind it, as it is your right to do so. However I do not grasp this "Turkish super fighter" thing. No one is acting ultra-nationalistic here. We were having a perfectly valid discussion on electro-optical sensors.I am sorry for questioning the Turkish super fighter
Here's an informative thread about detector developments:Thanks very much guys for continuing to post the content from Turkiye; it is really interesting
I'm just getting at that there is basically no analysis or critical thinking that accompanies this. e.g. what metrics / characterisitics do we actually need to care about? how do these compare to other aircraft? is this different? better? worse? and why?
IF this photo comparison is true than TFX might have bigger weapon bay than F22 Considering Its more Wider than f22.

One could argue if all pictures (and the 3d model) posted on this site are different to the rolled out prototype why would one assume the dimensions are accurate?I still wonder of sense of these dimensions discussion when they are published at TAI site for ages with wingspan of 14 m and length of 21 m.
