Second only to Russia: a wind tunnel is under construction for testing a promising Turkish fighter

_{The alleged appearance of a Turkish facility for testing a promising fighter}

The Turkish company is building an experimental infrastructure designed to test models of helicopters and aircraft of its own design, especially promising fighters.

Turkish Aerospace builds Turkey's largest and Europe's second largest subsonic wind tunnel
- stated on the company's website.

The largest object in this category on the territory of Europe is the Russian T-101 installation, on which TsAGI (Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute) conducts experiments. The size of its elliptical nozzle, in which models and prototypes are "blown", is 24 by 14 meters. The dimensions of the analogue being built in Turkey have not been specified, however, judging by the company's statement, they are second only to the Russian "pipe".

Reportedly, the Turkish facility will consist of three test sections: large, small and open, which will be equipped with modern diagnostics of the state of the tested models.

Located in Russia, the T-101 went into operation in 1939. The specialists who worked on it made a huge contribution to the development of domestic aviation during the Great Patriotic War. It was here that the speed and maneuvering characteristics of Soviet aircraft were steadily increasing, allowing them to eventually gain air superiority.

The Turks have mastered UAVs ......... now they want planes ....

Import substitution is called .. Their sanctions, like Russia, taught a lot.

At one time, the Turks were the horror of Europe, up to Vienna, they owned Egypt and Central Asia, they wiped their feet from the territory of modern Israel, so that the spirit and ancestors of the great Ottomans push them to feats, and their elite will make a deal with even the devil, even an angel, only to revive the great Ottoman Empire - we see the same thing in the Celestial Empire. And here all means are good. One of them is the Russian S-400

I think it is not entirely correct to compare in our favor that their pipe is inferior to ours ...
Our pipe was launched in 1939, and their pipe will be launched almost a hundred years later. Obviously, technology has stepped forward during this time.

[carstorm 11]

Blowing technology?))) The equipment is changing) how has the form and meaning changed in 81 years?)

Since then, it has been modernized many times. I don’t think there is a fundamental difference between these “pipes”. As a result, I mean.
The main thing in this news is that the Turks are seriously planning to develop their aircraft industry. There is no point in building such a thing to blow one fighter.

Pffff ....
Turkey, for the first time since the First World War, felt freedom and began to develop its own technologies under Erdogan.
The main thing here is that when did you start walking so wide? Don't tear your pants. After all, technology costs crazy money, and Turkey does not have a special surplus of finance.

[Sfurei]

The Turks are great, of course, that they are developing, but I also immediately got a thought, but will they overstrain financially? And build tanks and planes and engines and wage war in Syria and Iraq? Especially in our economically unstable time?

So they are promoting their "Bayraktars" wherever they can, not embarrassed by direct forgery and cooperating with just anyone.

And where will the filling of the airplanes be obtained? China with engines beats like a fish on the ice for several years. You can blow a lot of things. Houses, cars, Jackie Chan, dogs, hamsters.

[Marachuh]

Sure. Ours have not modernized anything since 39. So we work on steam and donkey traction

[gurzuf]

Are you sure that our pipe has remained at the technological level of 1939?

[lucul]

Our pipe was launched in 1939, and their pipe will be launched almost a hundred years later. Obviously, technology has stepped forward during this time.

You do not understand the essence - the main thing here is who first discovered and developed this direction, and not who later built it))))
And here we have a head start of almost 100 years.

[Prisoner]

Do you think that ours are still using a hundred-year-old pipe without any upgrades? I have no doubt that it was both updated and improved.

[avg]

Technology has stepped forward, physics is marking time. Well, at least not lagging behind, Thank God!

[grandfather_Kostya]

If the pipe initially gives a laminar air flow over the entire section of the pipe, then everything else can be improved ad infinitum because it is secondary.

Undoubtedly, the fan and dynamometer have changed significantly over a hundred years.

[sabakina]

They will build it, they won't build it, I don't know ... I just remembered one episode ...

[rotmistr60]

Probably, it’s better to build something than destroy it in the BV and Libya. Although, apparently, construction does not distract Erdogan from participating in conflicts.

T-101 in TsAGI

Maybe all the same Tu-114?

[Eugene-Eugene]

This is not an aircraft designation, but a pipe index

Turkey's economy is bursting with tension, inflation is at 12% in 2020, reserves are decreasing, but more and more UDCs and fighters are being spent on the army, although there is no threat to Turkey.

This means that Turkey is not preparing to defend itself, but to attack.

Relax in the resorts of Turkey - help them build an army to seize part of Syria, Iraq and a number of other countries.

Everything is correct. Turkey is preparing to attack, but I rely on Greece and Cyprus, the front of work is the eastern Mediterranean (UDC, why?).
Northern Syria and Iraq are Kurds. Turkey has a defensive policy towards them, they are already creating a guerrilla war inside Turkey.
Turkey seeks to seize the islands of the Eastern Middle Sea, which were ceded to Greece under the Treaty of Sevres, tk. this will allow to control the gigantic reserves of hydrocarbons along the seabed.
There is a prospect for us too - to destroy the southern flank of NATO.
Turks are an old imperial nation. They are ready to fight for neo-Ottomanism. They are not cowards or fools, the people are accustomed to the service.
At a certain stage, we could support them, and not by relaxing in rather miserable resorts.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

Turkey is our enemy, and you offer to support them ?!

Maybe you have forgotten the downed Su-24 and the fact that it is Turkey that does not allow the militants to be cleaned out of Idlib and in every possible way prevents normal life in Syria?

I would generally prohibit visiting Turkey, under the pretext of a terrorist threat, until they get out of Syria.

Russian citizens in the dock years accounted for almost a quarter of the total tourist flow to Turkey, which brings this country about $ 30 billion in income.

That is, the Russians give the Turks $ 6 billion a year, an aircraft carrier a year.

Turks want to colorfully celebrate the 100th anniversary of the republic in 2023. They came to us with projects of supersonic pipes a few years ago so that we could help them. They have very competent specialists. But, fortunately, it did not grow together.

[Aviator_]

It’s interesting - we already have Turks on VO - otherwise it’s impossible to explain who put a minus here? It's incredible even for the dillies - I praised the Turkish aerospace specialists, because I personally talked with them. Or maybe it was an ultrapatriot who jumped out?

[no better place for]

But they also minus what they praised

[alien308]

A supersonic wind tunnel is a sign of military-political and scientific-technical independence. They are going to make a large subsonic tube. This is also an important complex. A lot of things can be blown in a size close to the original.

[petrol cutter]

Here's your grandmother and St. George's Day ...
I would also understand China!
But Turkey ...

[Aviator_]

I would also understand China!

For the Chinese, all this is like shoe polish in a shoe polish factory (cat Matroskin).

[no better place for]

The Minister of Industry said that the queue for such pipes is from six months. That is, they build not only for themselves, but for money they will provide others
