Akaer Group:
“Akaer celebrates the successful maiden flight of HÜRJET"
The TAI HÜRJET is a single-engine, light-combat, tandem-seat, and supersonic aircraft under development by Turkish Aerospace.
Akaer's role in the HÜRJET project is to assist in the development of the concept demonstrator and serial aircraft, being responsible for product engineering the entire rear fuselage and contributing to the development of the center fuselage and air intakes.
We have a team of professionals involved in the project in the areas of design and structural engineering, electrical design, hydraulics, fuel systems and environmental systems.
On Tuesday, April 25, the program reached a major milestone in the development of this aircraft with the completion of the first flight in Turkey. It was a 26-minute flight to the safe landing, as planned.
This milestone represents a great achievement for Akaer and its team of professionals who have dedicated thousands of hours to this project, developing the aircraft in record time, from conception to first flight in just over two years (March 2021 to April 2023) .
The recent acquisition of fighter jets for the Brazilian Air Force - FAB, with compensation through technology transfer (ToT), played a prominent role in achieving this milestone, demonstrating in practice that Akaer and its 50 engineers working directly on the project HÜRJET, demonstrated that Brazil has acquired the ability to design supersonic Attack and Air Superiority aircraft, generating wealth for the country and proving the quality of cutting-edge engineering.
