Wholeheartedly agree. After the rollout ceremony on May 1st, all TF or TF-X branding has been removed and every single Turkish Aerospace official since then has refered to the plane as "KAAN" along with state officials. Usemymame (talk) 17:54, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Grammar Improvement

This edit request to TAI TF Kaan has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

In the "Development" section, "Engine" subsection, a few paragraphs need editing for clarity. Trying to minimize the edits, I'd suggest updating the wording to:

On 5 March 2022, İsmail Demir, undersecretary for Defence Industries, said the government would now negotiate a possible engine deal with Rolls-Royce. “We had some issues [with Rolls-Royce] before. These have been resolved. I think we are ready to work together.”^[1]

While visiting the U.K. the following month, Demir said, "It is imperative for us that the engine be produced in Turkey… that Turkey should possess intellectual property rights."^[2] His statement implied that the same dispute over intellectual properties of the engine which previously stalled the negotiation between Rolls-Royce and Turkey in 2019^[3] remained unresolved.
