Turkish firm unveils turbojet rocket engine

50

In recent years, Turkey has been actively advancing in the field of its own military developments. For example, the Turkish company Kale R&D recently released the KTJ-3200, the first Turkish-made rocket engine to be used in the Atmaca rocket. Ankara plans to launch the first missiles equipped with KTJ-3200 as early as 2022.

Kale R&D is developing turbojet engines for the OMGF Roketsan medium-range anti-ship missile system and Tubitak Sage's Kuzgun-TJ smart ammunition.



On August 17-20, Istanbul hosted the International Exhibition of the Military Industry, at which a contract was signed for the serial production of a new rocket engine. The project itself began to be developed in 2012, when it was decided to provide import substitution in the field of rocket engines.

According to Defense News, the architecture of the KTJ-3200 engine is similar to the French TR40 engine. True, the latter is more economical and lightweight, but the performance of the Turkish and French engines is not much different. It is also worth noting that the KTJ-3200 was manufactured at its own expense. In Turkey, the development is called the first important step of the domestic industry towards further development. aviation engines. The KTJ-3200 is capable of supporting the missile's flight throughout its entire mission, that is, for about 20 minutes.

By the way, the KTJ-3200 was specially designed for use on Turkish-made cruise missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles. The first Turkish Gökbey helicopter will be powered by the TS1400 engine developed by Tusas Engine Industries.

As for the KTJ-3200, its real capabilities were tested at the test site of the Kale R&D Center for Development and Testing. In particular, the engine has been tested for endurance, water ingress, deformation, and its environmental performance has been checked.

        For the winged - yes, for the winged anti-ship - no. A cruise missile with a turbojet engine, which is good, it flies, albeit at a subsonic speed, but hides behind the folds of the terrain. Anti-ship such as the X-35, fly over the sea, albeit low, but still as in the palm of your hand, and were a novelty in the years, so this is in the 70s. Today, they go astray. It's still okay as an option, against various barefoot aborigines and such powerful countries as Ukraine. lol

              ... But our effective managers Luntik profiled Ukraine.

              The loss is not great. For so many years, they were actually kept for nothing through various preferences, benefits, discounts on gas, provided orders for their factories, and they chose the EU. How many wolves you feed, but he keeps looking into the forest. It’s just the same to stop subsidizing the industry of another country and to rely on our own production is the right step, tortured by the bitter experience of previous cooperation with Ukraine. As a result, we are now making our own engines for helicopters and ships. And the money remains in their country.

              Now our Motherland has received Erdogan, who has recognized the annexation of Crimea (hello to the multi-pass mastrubators).

              Erdogan has been voicing this position for many years and nothing has changed since 2014.

              ... And the Ukrainians will continue to gleefully sell the remnants of the Soviet legacy.

              And what is there to sell? They have sold everything for a long time? In addition to Motor Sich and Zorya-Mashproekt, there are no special secrets there.

              Another such breakthrough of scrapers, and Yuzhnoye KB will open a branch in Antalya.
              And we will get the friend of the Supreme with the Turkish Governor on the database.

              Well, you have a fantasy, dear. Today's Ukraine is not able to make an OTRK, and you swung at the Voevoda, the components for the production of which were produced throughout the Union. And even if you fantasize about Erdogan's ICBMs in order to fight the United States? So the Americans will bury him alive for this together with Ukraine.

              The role of the Yuzhnoye design bureau in the creation of the Voevoda complex is undoubtedly enormous. However, it is necessary to mention all the co-executors of the grandiose project, many of whom in this development have said a new word in their field. This is formally reflected by the number of registered inventions during the work on the topic.

              https://svpressa.ru/war21/article/129278/

              ... The missile was created by the Yuzhnoye design bureau (Dnepropetrovsk) to replace the heavy R-36. Supervised the development of M.K. Yangel, after his death in 1971 - V.F.Utkin. For the first stage, the main engine RD-264, developed at KB Energomash (Khimki, Moscow region), was adopted, for the second stage, the RD-0228 engine, developed by KB Khimiavtomatika (Voronezh). The autonomous inertial guidance system was developed by NII-692 (Kharkov), while for the first time in our country an onboard digital computer (BTsVM) was used. The complex of means for overcoming the Lavr missile defense system was developed at the Moscow Central Research Institute of Radio Engineering and Technology. The development of silo launchers for R-36M missiles was carried out by the Design Bureau of Special Engineering in Leningrad. Powder pressure accumulators for the mortar launch of the rocket were created by the Lyubertsy NPO "Soyuz". The head enterprise for the development of a unified protected command post of the missile complex was the Central Design Bureau of Heavy Engineering (Moscow). The production of missiles was organized at the Southern Machine-Building Plant in Dnepropetrovsk.


              ... In accordance with the Government Decree of August 9, 1983, the Yuzhnoye Design Bureau headed by VF Utkin launched work on the R-36M2 rocket. It was primarily about ensuring a guaranteed delivery of a retaliatory oncoming strike in the conditions of the enemy's use of nuclear weapons against ICBM positions and the breakthrough by combat units of a promising enemy missile defense system.

              NPO Elektropribor (formerly NII-692) developed a radiation-resistant guidance system, Minsk NPO Integral - the element base, KB Energomash - first stage engines, KB Chemical Automatics - second stage engines. In the Design Bureau of Mechanical Engineering (Kolomna), a complex was created for active protection of launchers from nuclear warheads and high-precision weapons of the enemy.

        AL-7F-1 - the first production version. Notable for its direct-flow afterburner. Produced since 1959. Installed on Su-7, Su-7B.
        AL-7F-2 - modernized. It featured a new second turbine stage, eighth and ninth compressor stages, and an enlarged afterburner. Produced since 1960. Installed on Su-9, Su-11.
        AL-7F-4 - forced. Produced since 1962.
        AL-7FK - short-life for the Kh-20M missile. It was distinguished by a converging nozzle, a speed regulator, an expanded turbine nozzle ring, and blades made of an EI-867 alloy. Produced since 1958.

        The AL-7 initially had a resource of only 50 hours, then it was brought up to 300 hours. In many ways it was a unique engine, the compression ratio for the first time in the world reached ten. The Turks are on the right track, but I don't like it.

    Rocket engine (RD) is kind of jet engine, the working fluid and the energy source of which located directly on board the aircraft... This is its main difference from jet engines. Thus, the RD does not depend on atmospheric oxygen and therefore can be used for flights in outer (airless) space. The rocket engine is the only practically mastered method of launching a payload into orbit around the Earth.

    The little box of "successes" of the Turks just opens up.
    2016 Kale Group Vice President Osman OKYAY said that the KTJ-3200 engine, which can reach 38000 rpm and develop 900 hp, exploded 5 times during development, but they successfully passed all the difficult tests.
    It will be used primarily in SOM missiles. By the end of 2020, we plan to conduct fire tests of these missiles. Then it will be possible to start mass production for 100+

However, for the leading technologically developed countries with both experience and a complex of understanding and production of turbines, Turkish achievements do not represent any competition. This is what is called the advanced development of scientific and technological achievements. Now this parameter is more and more important.
