It was started in 2016 and we live in a different world for aviation today. eVTOL designs have been matured to production level by several multi billion dollar companies around the world although their business model are yet to prove profitable because they will not sell aircraft to third...
It has to be certified through EASA of Europe like Hürkuş and Gökbey went through, so I would say you start with like $30+ mn for a 4 seater helicopter to get to production ready. This is a kind of money only Baykar can afford in the private sector.
It is a proven and affordable design, who cares about modern if they can't afford it.

In an interview TAI CEO stated that Hürjet will be able to do 80% of the missions an F16 can. So once fitted with the expected Baykar engine Hürjet can do a good job serving smaller air forces. However future planes using single Kaan engine and twin Hürjet engines are possible while not in sight...
