So the nose is nearly done. But I can't help but wonder if this is a newer prototype.

Maybe, question is - would erdogan put his signature on something that wasn't supposed to fly? Could very well be the fly-able prototype.

Agreed. As a sidenote... Those composite pieces are looking so nice.

Definitely progressing;

I really wonder what the empty weight of Hurjet will be, especially with weight savings composite will bring. Boeing/SAAB T-7, has very little composite parts.

Without even having a plane in hand and without even flown the plane, we are bidding to produce and sell a plane to Malaysia.
That sounds absurd and crazy. But these 18 planes that we are bidding for, will allow us to try out and produce a light attack plane.
Hurjet was originally a trainer aircraft for preparing our pilots to 5th generation F35 and MMU/TFX. It was also going to be produced as a CAS or Light Attack Plane. But that was going to come at a later stage.
Now Malaysians want planes that are light attack crafts. That means we need to produce prototypes that will serve as fighters. All the merrier! At least we are now pushed to produce modern light attack aircraft!

I suppose both the central fuselage and the tail section will be built in the same location since there aren't many places available for this aircraft. It seems like they've cleared out the area where the F-16's used to get built. Don't quote me on that though. Only said that because the place feels familiar lol

The nose cone stands out. It's noticeably different when compared to the mock-up.
