TurDef had recently written that Professor Demir would visit the UK and held contacts for TF-X, but the date was not precise. The meetings were expected for BAE Systems, which provides technical support to TUSAŞ.
Turkiye is trying to bring together Kale-Pratt Whitney, TR Motor, TEI and Rolls-Royce for the TF-X engine. Turkiye aims to produce the fifth generation engine of the TF-X in a single program. On the other hand, the UK"s Tempest program is also in its early stages. In this subject too, there are collaborations with Sweden and Italy, as well as the United Kingdom. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson went to India two weeks ago and urged that country to work at the core of the Tempest engine. Turkiye wants to take part in this project as well.
