How the side profile of Kaan P1 and subsequent prototypes could look like:

A shorter and less beak-like nose and more angled vertical stabilizers.

this is never ever a realistic look onto P1

They need to fire who made this model… I doubt that the cockpit resembles in any shape or form that of real aircraft.

@Deino @siegecrossbow Guys, it's just something they made the TA Pakistan team do to keep them busy (to show the Pakistani politicians that they are involved in the project so they should also order it).

It may look useless, but it is a proven method to test designs regardless of how crude the model looks, because the main focus is the center of gravity and weight-to-scale. It is supplementary to the many hundreds of wind tunnel tests that TA has conducted for the Kaan...

Read the screenshots I've attached in the quoted post below:

Mate, we've talked about these a long time ago. Try checking if there's already a post about it before suddenly coming here and reheating frozen/dead topics...

These posts below were written by someone in the TA Pakistan team, and he's written about this before.

It's not at all a noteworthy milestone, not a milestone even. TA rigorously bought hundreds of hours at local and international wind tunnels and flew a couple of these crappy looking weight-to-scale RC planes before flying the GTU-0 demonstrator.

Kaan pictured on a poster from SAHA Istanbul:

Shorter nose and revised intakes. Dunno if it's made with AI or not. Take it with a grain of salt.

Bay is also completely rearranged. It's almost a different plane at this point.

Aselflir-600 test. Casually filming from 140km-200km away:

I'm not convinced this is an official pic though. Could be fan made that somehow ended up being posted by the SAHA crew.

AI

Look at the bays, the 'shape' of the fuselage, the horizontal stabilizer mounting configuration, the landing gear arrangement, the EOTS & IRST... that's AI for sure...

They gave the AI pics of the F-35 (notice the bulges!) and GTU-0 and churned this out...
