TR HÜRJET-Advanced Jet Trainer/ Light attack aircraft

[OPTIMUS]

Currently, several Spanish aviation companies are producing critical systems for HÜRJET.

Looks like there's a yet to be announced update, Hürjet is no longer shown to be flying in Farnborough next week and will be on static display only.

3 savunma sanayii devi HÜRJET’in motoru için birleşti! Aralarında ABD’li şirkette var

Türk Havacılık Uzay Sanayii, TEI ve GE Aerospace, ileri seviye Jet Eğitim Uçak Programı HÜRJET için Mutabakat Anlaşması imzaladı.

Let's hope we hear the same for f110 for KAAN.
GE and TEI with Turkish Aerospace have agreed to produce, maintain and develop f404 engine at TEI.

That is absolutely great news. I hope production lines are already prepared at TEI and we can start producing them as soon as possible.

GE Aerospace Extends Cooperation For HÜRJET | TURDEF

GE Aerospace has announced the extension of its collaboration with TUSAŞ on HÜRJET advanced trainer/light combat aircraft.

The last sentence in above news is critical.

quote:
As the efforts are focused on TEI TF6000/10000 turbofans and KAAN fighter jet's indigenous engine being developed by TRMotor, cooperation with GE Aviation will likely lower the potential workload.
unquote.

But more than that it will actually pave the way for the local production of 150+ f110 engines we will need for:
11 x KAAN prototypes
40 x KAAN Block 10 planes
40 x f16 V70 jets recently ordered.

Since we last produced f110s for the 30 f16 planes with ÖNCEL 4 program in 2006, the f110 engine has gone through a number of upgrades and application of newer technologies, such as blisk fans and compressors and probably fourth generation single crystal turbine blades.
The f110 has been upgraded with new increased airflow, jet engine efficiency, a three-stage chord blisk fan, and an advanced radial augmentor to reduce complexity, improve maintainability, and increase the life span of parts.
Physically producing most parts at TEI, will help us with ease of adopting newer technologies.

I asked Mr. İbrahim Sünnetçi about this issue, and he said that he knew the reason, but that it would be right for the company to explain. He also stated that three different countries are interested in the Hürjet and that order negotiations are being held.

Does that mean that the F110 engines will be 100% domesticated or will Turkey outsource the important tech and just assemble it locally?

Yours is wishful thinking!
This agreement is totally about the F404 engines and its variants. Remember these engines can develop from 10500lbf to 12000lbf dry thrust as shown in Korean, Swedish and Indian versions.
The F404 to be assembled at TEI, will be like T700 Blackhawk engines, and have gradually more and more local parts. But will never be with totally home manufactured parts.
The same should be the case for F110GE129-D (f16v70 ) and F110GE129-E (KAAN) engines. But as of yet no clear cut agreement has been reached.

But, this is just MOU. Am i wrong?
