TAI CEO Prof. Dr. Temel Kotil: "I hope KAAN will fly at the end of this year. We are making a very special effort for it. I visited KAAN when I came to the company this morning, visiting the aircraft has become a habit. It is going well, hopefully we will get to keep our promise by the end of...

That would be illogical. Flight tests will commence with the aircraft using standard paved runways as a starting point. Expect such an envelope expansion sometime in 2024.

The delivery date for the New Generation HÜRKUŞ, also known as HÜRKUŞ-2, has been announced. HÜRKUŞ-2 will be lightweight compared to HÜRKUŞ-B. Turkish Air Force had placed an order for 15 units in recent years for the New Generation Basic Training Aircraft HÜRKUŞ. 15 HÜRKUŞ aircraft were...

Atak-2 on the assembly line. Another footage that was released recently but is in reality quite dated.

Newly released footage from TF-X's assembly & system integration phase. Taken months ago. Center fuselage, aft of the turtle neck of the Hürjet Hürjet's canopy frame. Pictured inside the assembly facility.

Sorry 😂

Stating that accessories, cabling and pipes will be added to the prototype, Akşit stated, "Our team is working as fast as possible with serious dedication. It took its final form the day before it came to the fair, with the work carried out day and night. Our entire team also has calendar...

There is this thing called a 0-0 test. The ejection seat would work just fine but there is a canopy in the way. They need to finalize the design of the detcord and make possible modifications to the seat (perhaps even the canopy) in order to allow a safe escape. And the only way to safeguard...

Yes and no at the same time. Although TAI can be rather innovative and flexible when it comes to assembly activities there is no denying that the site itself is reaching its natural limit. No 10 is reserved for civil/military production of the aero structures group. Hürjet's production...

HÜRJET, Turkey's first jet-powered military aircraft, has made 20 flights so far. 💢HÜRJET Chief Test Pilot Ercan Çelik: "As long as the weather conditions and all conditions allow, we are now in a routine. We fly 2-3 times a week, like a serial plane. This is a very good thing. 💢I can say that...

• HÜRJET Chief Test Pilot Ercan Çelik: • It's really exciting to take such an acrothym on your arm and fly it. It is a great honor and privilege to have done this with HÜRJET. We have successfully performed this and HÜRJET has never been a stranger among Turkish Stars. "We showed good...

"This gives TAI a wonderful idea"

If you see such a change in the upcoming prototype(s), then rest assured there is a very good reason behind it. We should all appreciate the fact that as the design matures, the aircraft automatically suites the contractual requirements better. TAI has been working with the Air Force Command...

When did I ever say TAI did something wrong? :) I believe you're constantly failing to grasp my argument so I'm stressing my initial point again and in greater detail. I'm saying if TAI was careless enough to bring an aircraft that is undergoing testing to a festival it would've portrayed...

No? I would suggest that it does. If a company is willing to interrupt the flight test campaign of a platform for the sake of an aerospace festival, then it would be fitting to suggest that there is in fact an excess amount of confidence among other sub-clauses. Either way, TAI wouldn't have...

They've expanded the envelope enough to allow this. TAI would've brought the aircraft to TEKNOFEST if they were overconfident. Thankfully they're not.
