Same way the F-35 mounts its elevators. Less boom = more aerodynamic surface area and it's also generally more compact.

How will it fare against western jets? (assuming they get proper engines)
Airframe is probably fine but that isn't what decides anything in modern air combat. Meteor integration means it does at least stand a chance though. In terms of exports it isn't going to be able to compete with F-35 from a cost or performance standpoint, it'll be competing in the same space as Rafale has been.
Most countries (korea/sweden/china) buy others until they can take the time to figure out how to reverse engineer it, or become close enough allies to get a tech transfer.

We know the 10 engines they currently have for the prototypes are all F110s, and so far there is a deal to produce at least another 40 F110 engines under license domestically (no tech transfer).
Going forward they'd like to domestically produce an engine to replace the F110, but I haven't seen much to suggest they've got a viable partner to give them the tech transfer they need.
What the fuck are those elevators?

horn balanced
Based Turks gimping their own airforce out of national pride.
Well at least it has internal weapon bays unlike some other """5th gen""" plane

are they gonna keep demanding tech transfer?
>assuming they get proper engines
always funny how engines are the great filter for fighter aircraft building ambitions.

when israel used to make planes they bought american engines too iirc

REEEEEEEEEEEE THE FUTURE IS SO FUCKING GAY! WHY CANT ANYONE BE ORIGINAL ANYMORE!?
cause it's a lot harder and more expensive to do R&D on something new than it is to copy a proven platform.
The US is realistically the only nation in the world that can undertake a massive brand new novel fighter jet project alone.

They literally just stopped being a third world country what the fuck do you want them to do, invent a new plane?
Turkey has never been a third world nation.

Aren't the engines the basis unto which you build an aircraft? One of the first pieces you need to define?
>assuming they get proper engines
From who? The only people capable of high performance engines certainly aren't going to hand them over
Turkey is working with Motor sich (ukrainian company). They will probably share some knowledge
Any recent source to support this?

Turkish engineering isn't good enough to miniaturize components.
It's shit.
