A new surprise came from KIZILELMA, which is now counting the days for its first flight test. Baykar, who stated that the afterburner feature would not be in the first prototype, seems to have given up on this decision according to the recently published images. Here are KIZILELMA afterburner features and details…
While we were waiting for the second prototype, the first one arrived! KIZILELMA afterburner feature!
The KIZILELMA prototype with tail number TC-OZB3, the first prototype currently produced, recently released new images. Among these images, one in particular was quite striking. Because it was stated that the first prototype of the aircraft would not have an “afterburner” feature. However, the opposite was seen in the video.
AYKAR Chairman of the Board of Directors, Selçuk Bayraktar, shared the first images from the ground tests of the new KIZILELMA prototype. From the shared image, it can be seen that the 1st prototype with tail number TC-OZB3 reached full engine power while on the ground and even turned on the afterburner. The Ukraine-produced Al-25 Turbofan Engine used in the initial configuration of the aircraft does not actually have an afterburner feature.
However, a different situation stands out in the shared video. For this reason, it is thought that a different engine was used in the first prototype of the aircraft. It is thought that the Al-322F engine with afterburner, also produced in Ukraine, is included in KIZILELMA.
What does afterburner mean?
Afterburner is a component used especially in jet engines. This device provides additional thrust by reburning the hot gases released from the engine. Afterburner is commonly used on military aircraft and some supersonic commercial aircraft, providing extra thrust for short periods of time to increase the aircraft’s speed. The fuel consumption of the engine increases during its use, so it is generally preferred for short-term accelerations.
