Also according to Kotil, the TF-X is right now ready for a roll out.

"We have a promise for the MMU hangar release date of March 18, 2023. But we don't have to wait for that date. We are about to finish our preparations whenever our elders want to hold a ceremony."

CEO of TEI Prof Aksit:

"Last week, we cast the third generation of single crystal blades that go beyond the first generation of single crystal alloys. We can now cast a new generation of monocrystalline alloys in Turkey."

I can't stress how important this achievement is! Seldom we hear about a new country able to cast its own SC turbine blades! THis is truly a milestone.

This makes it able for Turkiye to produce turbofan engines more advanced than those with a TWR of 9.

Aselsan claims that materials used for the MMU will also be used for other unmanned platforms. They also claimed 99.9% RCS reduction from the materials used. Considering that TAI has been building F-35 fuselages I'd say it is highly that the MMU is using a similar mix of materials. It would be utterly unreasonable to not use that knowledge.

BTW if true, 99.9% RCS reduction from materials would confirm internet speculation about modern stealth being mostly about materials rather than shaping.
