The General Manager of Military Factories Imdat Ersoy and the accompanying delegation visited our Eskişehir Campus. They received information from Mahmut F. Akşit about our projects and discussed potential collaborations.

TEI-TJ300 Medium Range Anti-Ship Missile Engine in test cell


TEI-TJ300 is the first engine in the world to produce power in the specified thrust class within a limited diameter of 240 mm, for adaptation to missile systems. The strictly constrained engine size allows its prospective missile systems to fit into multiple platforms. The TEI-TJ300 engine is capable of operating at high speeds of up to 90% speed of sound at an altitude of 5000 ft. The engine also has the capability to start by windmilling without the need for any starter systems (e.g starter motor), which enables the platform to be applicable to air, marine and land based defense systems.

Technical Specifications​

• Maximum Thrust (N)/(lbf) : 1300/300
• Specific Fuel Consumption (g/kN.s) : 37.4 (SLS ISA0, excluding lubrication requirement)
• Dry Weight (kg)/(lb) : 34/74.9
• Length (mm)/(in) : 450/17.7
• Diameter (mm)/(in) : 240/9.5

- Ramjet and Scramjet programs all are a part of current Turkish missile programs. They are not tech demonstrations.
- Tozkoparan is an cost-effective air defence missile program that is being developed as a part of Turkish layered air defence concept.
- Gökdoğan BVR Air-to-Air Missile missile will exceed 100+km range from current 65km range.
- G-40 VLS launched missile can be QUADPACKED. it has cold launch and thrust diverting system which will significantly increase range by turning missile towards its target and saves 0.5-1 seconds of engine burn.
