The TF-10000 is a Turkish 10,000 lbs turbofan engine based on TEI-TF6000 and developed by the Tusaş Engine Industries. The main goal of the project is gaining experience for the development of an advanced combat aircraft-capable engine, TEI-TF35000 - which will be the main engine for Kaan aircraft[2] - and an indigenous engine for light combat aircraft.[3] It is firstly introduced in 12 December 2022 and it is stated by Mahmut Akşit that TF10000 maybe used for Bayraktar Kızılelma.[4]
History and development
On 12 December 2022, the ninth innovation week, TF10000 made its first appearance.[4] The engine is still under development.[5]
Development of the afterburning TF10000 turbofan engine, derived from the TEI-TF6000 core architecture, continued during the mid-2020s.[6][7]
TEI General Manager Prof. Dr. Mahmut F. Akşit stated that the first ignition test of the engine with its afterburner section was targeted for late 2027.[8]
Akşit stated that completion of the milestone would mark the first successful operation of an indigenous Turkish afterburning military turbofan engine.[9]
