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.

Hürjet during some formation flying with the Turkish Stars display team. HUD has been installed.

From what I understand it is pretty early in development. Don't know the details tho.

Hürjet has already gone through her PDR and CDR phases. For KAAN's case, they weren't even half way through PDR when they were assembling the forward fuselage. So there is a big difference there. Hürjet's development has been and will be relatively straight forward from a complexity standpoint...

P1 will look a bit different, as noted by the head engineer himself. I'm expecting some minor changes to the later prototypes.

Baykar is currently conducting studies regarding the development of hydraulic actuators. The aircraft currently houses electronic actuators (similar ones can be spotted on the TB2, TB3 & Akıncı platforms) which might limit the aircraft's structural integrity during high g manoeuvres and/or...

We will come across an evolving platform but without much delays. As aforementioned, the aircraft is merely evolving. There won't be drastic changes to prototypes to address deficiencies, but there will in fact be changes as it is simply a natural consequence of the developmental approach TAI...

Some design based aspects of the aircraft are set to change. Bare that in mind before coming to conclusions. Let it be the IWB or the aerodynamic configuration of the airframe.

No. It's a part of the central bay cluster.

Right engine intake & duct

From what we ( @Radonsider ) understand, LRIP will be in order in 2025. Whereas mass production will commence in around 2028. So initial deliveries could still happen at the aforementioned dates.

Gonna have to wait and see.

Hürjet service entry date has been pushed to 2028. A division of engineers within TAI are conducting studies regarding the aircraft's naval variant.

Turkish Aerospace Industries introduces concept OKU (Autonomous Wingman Concept) Turkish Aerospace Industries is developing the Autonomous Wingman Concept (OKU), essentially a Turkish version of MUM-T (manned-unmanned teaming). This concept integrates piloted and unmanned aircraft to enhance...

I possess no info on the current state of TAI's civil aviation programs (most notably the aforementioned passenger aircraft, as it is most probably in very early stages of development). It's good to be back btw.

As per İbrahim Sünnetçi, the ANKA-3 has not yet performed her maiden flight. A FF will eventually occur after the completion of at least 2 more taxi runs.

A contract worth 1.197.381.949,- US Dollars in total was signed between ASELSAN and TAI regarding the modernization of aircraft.
