Anscheinend gibt es nun doch US-Triebwerke? Und man kooperiert wohl mit Russland...

Zitat:Could Turkey’s future TF-X jet include a mix of American and Russian tech?https://www.defensenews.com/air/2021/12/...sian-tech/
ANKARA, Turkey — Turkey has chosen an American-made engine for its future fighter jet TF-X, but the country will also work with Russia to locally produce aircraft parts, according to Turkey’s top procurement official. Ismail Demir, who leads Turkey’s Presidency of Defense Industries, said Dec. 4 that the TF-X program will initially use General Electric’s F110 engine, an afterburning turbofan jet engine produced by the subsidiary GE Aviation. [...] General Electric’s non-afterburning F118 engine is already produced in Turkey under license in Eskisehir Tusas Engine Industries, a government-controlled company. [...]
Turkish Aerospace Industries, a sister company of Tusas Engine Industries is designing, developing and building the TF-X. A source at TAI, who spoke to Defense News on the condition of anonymity, said that “Russia has the technology in aeroacoustic, aerothermodynamics and the infrastructure to build a fighter jet. Russia has the technology [in its Su-57 fighter] to build a fifth-generation turbofan engine. Cooperation would also involve avionics, propulsion system, radar, sensors, ejection seat and data link systems.”
