Turkish defense company Kale Arge announced the start of development of a turbofan engine. As expected, the new power plant will make it possible to create long-range cruise missiles.
As the company explained, turbofan engines have lower fuel consumption compared to turbojet engines. Therefore, they increase the range of weapons.
As indicated in the publication SavunmaSanayiST, almost all anti-ship missiles and missiles of small and medium flight radius are equipped with turbojet engines. These include the SOM, ÇAKIR and Storm Shadow/SCALP cruise missiles; anti-ship ATMACA, Harpoon, NSM and Exocet. At the same time, a turbofan power plant is preferable for anti-ship missiles and long-range missiles, for example, for Tomahawk, AGM-158 LRASM or Babur.
The Turkish defense industry has already begun work on creating turbojet engines. Thus, installation of the KTJ-3700 power plant on the BLACK ATMACA (Black Hawk) cruise missile is expected in the near future.
The KTJ-3700 is a turbojet engine with a thrust of 3,700 Newtons, which has characteristics superior to its global counterparts
