Integrated Product Manager of HÜRJET Propulsion Systems Şahika Saç
-One of the most important tests of HURJET is the first power-up test. In these tests, we test the correct operation of the electrical systems. There are engine start tests that follow. It was also a very important stage for our team. We did the engine integration and the first engine start test with this work.
The process of working in harmony with all sub-systems continued. Before the first flight, you need to make sure that all systems are working correctly, are fully integrated with each other, and that you do not see any errors in any of the systems. Because you carry the labor of many people and you carry a life in the plane. The plane was created with a lot of hard work and great devotion. We performed the flight very early on the first flight day, but we performed our test without getting too excited, as if we were doing a normal test. Thank God it was a beautiful flight and a beautiful landing.
-As of today, we have performed our 5th flight, HÜRJET has been in the air for more than 1 hour. We actually performed a faultless first flight. In our ongoing ground and flight tests, we continue our flight tests on the days and times deemed appropriate to improve the aircraft and test our other systems.
-As engineers, we work hard both in the office and in the hangar. When we ask, we have technician brothers who work their 40th and 50th hours at the plane. We, as engineers, also ensure that the test is finished or the system is done safely, without going to sleep, before going home, until we finish the job when necessary. We continue to work at the beginning of the plane until we are sure that he is doing it.
In general, there may be situations in companies such as forcing the employees to work overtime, but there is such a team here that everyone gets inspiration from each other. Not everyone really looks at the clock in an effort to get the job done.
He doesn't know the day. What day were we, what time were we, what working hour were we in? From time to time, we work without counting, we get tired, we sleep on chairs and tables, we sleep on cushions from time to time. All of this for a purpose, for our country, our children and our defense industry. Emotions are hard to hold, we get emotional while talking. The result is there. It is really nice to be able to get the results of your effort and sacrifices when it bears fruit.
