VTOL Kaan sounds so unfeasible to me, the plane is huge and powered by two engines.
Yeah I don't expect a naval manned fighter before 2040s except for hürjet

Wasnt the first steel cutting for the aircraft carrier next year?"Possible Start Date for the Construction of MUGEM is 2029"
"The National Aircraft Carrier Project (MUGEM) started this year with the Preliminary and Contract Design Directive given by the Turkish Naval Forces Command to the Design Project Office Directorate within the Naval Technical Command. The design and construction processes of the MUGEM Project are expected to take five years each, with the design to be completed in 2028, construction to start in 2029 and commissioning in 2034.
Preliminary and Contract Design is underway and all design processes, including detail design, will be completed within the next four years. In this process, it is possible that various differences may occur compared to the first design presented.
"It seems likely that the construction of the MUGEM will be carried out on the 202-meter-long, 38-meter-wide and 5-degree inclined slipway at the TGM Istanbul Shipyard Command, and that the construction of the MUGEM will begin after the launching of the TF-2000, which will start its construction on the same slipway in 2025."

@Anmdt what do you think?
I think that's just ceremonial to show that it will happen and the political and bureaucratic backing is there. Preliminary design has just ended, there's nothing to build yet. I'm not sure if the above piece is correct about the construction schedule, but MUGEM won't start actual construction next year, that much I'm pretty much certain. TF2000 design was updated numerous times in the last 3 or so years, still hasn't started construction. MUGEM is a much larger challenge to design and to build.
Article contains incorrect information, but nearly accurate for Aircraft Carrier's milestones. This is roughly what we may assume by rationale. And i honestly don't think we will be capable of finalizing detail design (or construction level design) by 2029. Best fit is completion of preliminary and contract design phases by 2029, commencing the construction after clearance of the Dry Dock (launching of TF-2000)."Possible Start Date for the Construction of MUGEM is 2029"

31 naval vessels being built in different stages at the same time. Quite impressive!

First steel cutting for MUGEM and TF-2000 has been made and construction of Milden is ongoing
it must be Kaan naval version or a same level thing.
If the planning for the Hürjet is evolving towards combatant, then we must have access to an engine with a combat power of over 100kN. And this engine must be in diameter that there is no need to change the Hürjet airframe. Otherwise, this planning will either lead to a new platform developing and a restart of most of the processes, or the capacity of the existing engine will limit the naval air force.Directorate of Comunnications shared an article from Chinese "The Paper"
Türkiye’nin büyük hırsla başlattığı MUGEM Uçak Gemisi Projesi (Çin)

Here is an important part (Google translated)
"Türkiye plans to equip the MUGEM class aircraft carrier with approximately 50 aircraft. The naval variant of Hürjet, developed by TAI, is being considered as the ship's main combat aircraft. Hürjet's poor performance may create difficulties in using the full capacity of this ship. However, unmanned aerial vehicles can compensate for this shortcoming."
The fact that MUGEM is being designing so that the catapult system is fitted for but not with, indicates that this will be a very long journey. Even after the ship enters service, it will undergo more than a decade of refits, additional integrations and upgrades. Therefore, in addition to the systems that exist today, there will also be air platforms that will directly emerge from the MUGEM project in the near future. In addition, shipborne fixed-wing aircrafts will enter naval aviation and their organization within the joint forces will be very detailed. I look at MUGEM as a school or a milestone that symbolizes the birth of Turkish naval combatant aviation rather than at an operational level. We will learn a lot and what we learn will add a whole new perspective to our military industries, especially our aviation industry.

3 Runways. 2 Takeoff and 1 landing.Director of Naval Forces Design Project Office Assoc. Prof. Dr. Colonel Uçar:
"In this way, we have also determined the propulsion power and propulsion system that the ship will need. We have carried out multidimensional maritime analyses to ensure that our ship can operate even in the worst weather conditions in the world's seas. We are working on the ship's three-dimensional layout plans. In order for our air vehicles to be deployed to MUGEM to safely perform take-off tests from the flight ramp, we first designed the land-based flight ramp. The construction of the test ramp is currently underway.
We are following the development of our national pride KAAN with great appreciation and wish to have it on our National Aircraft Carrier. KAAN was designed to take off and land from conventional runways. Special modifications are required for it to be able to operate from an aircraft carrier. We are continuing to exchange information with TUSAŞ so that KAAN, whose prototype production is currently ongoing, can take off and land from our ship in the event that its naval version is produced.
As a result of the design studies, the ship will have a displacement of approximately 60 thousand tons (the amount of water displaced), a width of 72 m and a full length of 285 m. The flight deck will have two take-off runways with 3 raceways and 1 landing runway. The short-range take-off and rope-catch system STOBAR for aircraft will also be installed. It will be able to travel 10 thousand nautical miles without refueling. In other words, it will be able to go from Istanbul to New York and back. It will be able to reach a maximum speed of 25 knots (45 km) with its main propulsion system consisting of 4 gas turbines. It will be able to perform sea missions with a capacity of at least 50 manned and unmanned aerial vehicles.
