Georgio Clementi: "A historic day at Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI). The first day of the first ever test pilot and flight test engineer course to be held in Türkiye. Twelve students from TAI, the Turkish Air Force, Directorate General Civil Aviation and ASELSAN commenced their journey to a...

The probability of that being the second prototype is -30%.

Recent pic of the MMU

Two tandem bays coupled with two sidebays. The area is vast, but design activities are still ongoing as we speak.

They do know the variables. Hence the existence of the simulator to begin with. You can model your pre-existing designs on the simulator and gather genuine data by performing flight tests on the simulated environment. The Hürjet team was performing flight tests in the sim at a time when the...

From TAI's 50th anniversary video... (and guess what lol)

KAAN's head engineer: "Maybe you'll see, we have a 6 meter long titanium frame that is done being processed. On this aircraft (referring to GTU-0/P0) we didn't have the necessary equipment to process such parts, so we procured them now. This will bring huge advantages regarding the production of...

The simulators TAI bought to the Paris Airshow Also on display... From Habertürk

"The Malaysian Air Force Commander flew with the simulator of the KAAN fighter jet. He was very satisfied."

Supply chains are critical... "Due to supply problems, we had to make many parts of ANKA-3 in the workshop. We also had problems with these parts that we made ourselves. There was an asymmetry issue with the brakes, which we solved. If we fly it in June, we will fly it within 17 months after...

Ground tests of the High Speed Target Aircraft SUPER ŞİMŞEK are about to be completed. It is expected that SUPER ŞİMŞEK will make its first flight after the holiday and will be ready for use in September.

The first ignition test of the KTJ-3700 Turbojet Missile Engine, developed by Kale Arge for the land based ATMACA missile, was carried out successfully.

My post no longer exists due to understandable reasons. Sometimes I feel like these news outlets go too far with their content... How TAI allows this is beyond me.

Sertification simply takes a lot of time.

They are stationed at the flightline hangars :)

That is not the case. If DSI was such a necessity, then it would've been implemented.

:) Perhaps that source was referring to the fact that the design was frozen for GTU-0/P0. This doesn't necessarily mean CDR for KAAN is done.

CDR is a formal process. There isn't a golden rule that dictates that you should absolutely, under all circumstances, complete design activities beforehand. It is also worth mentioning that TAI took an experimental approach with this aircraft (which isn't surprising). An identical developmental...

Prepping for assembly

Seems to be a good interview. An hour long video covering projects from ATAK-II to KAAN. Worth watching perhaps. Grab some popcorn.
