Do they? I would say manufacturing is different from assembling & cleaning parts.
That's a massive statement. Is there any evidence supporting this claim?
See post #1046 of this thread.
The TS1400 turboshaft engine was confirmed to be using Turkish manufactured single-crystal blades multiple times. Some of the first blades were delivered with a public ceremony.
Sounds very optimistic and promising.
He is known for wrong takes and never backing up his claims with sources. Better ignore him.
There were two indications that TEI is developing a 6000lb turbofan probably based on the TS1400. One is a patent request for the name 'TEI-TF6000' and a linkedin page of a TEI engineer who wrote that he worked on various projects, including the TF6000.
AFAIK Turkey tried in the past somewhere pre-2017 but the Japanese where very reluctant. The hand of the US is very strong in Japan and South-Korea. There are rumors that whenever Turkey is about to make a defense deal with a country, the US ambassador contacts the respective government and tries to convince them from not doing so.
