TR HÜRJET-Advanced Jet Trainer/ Light attack aircraft

[Nutuk]

We are waiting for TF-6000 and TF-10000 engines.

What has that to do with Hurjet? Those engines are interesting for Kizilelma and ANKA 3/4

 

[Zafer]

TF-10000 is too small for Hürjet, F404 gives nearly 40% more dry and 80% more wet thrust.

Looking at how rapidly Hürjet is maturing a twin engine version will probably mature just as fast. Kaan is twin engine, pilots should be trained on a twin engine aircraft.

If the B-0 delivery date to AF is being updated from 2025 to 2027, can we safely say it's maturing at the indicated rate?

Kotils timelines were always overly optimistic imo. That was his management style.
But looks like others have to now clean up the mess.

We don't know the actual reason. It is probably because of supply chain issues rather than the maturing.

 

[Merzifonlu]

It is probably because of supply chain issues rather than the maturing.

There were probably two developments. 1- Foreign components could not be supplied for mass production. 2- Localization of foreign components used in the prototype was delayed due to budget cuts. Local components will be awaited for mass production.

Hürjet program update:

"Delivery of 4 Block-0 aircraft in 2027 and 12 Block-1 aircraft with the same configuration in 2028-2029"

Original announced calendar was 4 Block-0 aircraft for air force testing in by the end of 2025 and 12 Block-1s until end of 2028. 2 year delay, which will inevitably delay the type's acceptance by the air force.

HÜRJET teslimatında hedef 2027

"2027 yılında 4 adet Blok-0 ve 2028-2029 yıllarında aynı konfigürasyona sahip 12 adet Blok-1 uçaklarının teslimatı öngörülmekte."

Tolga Özbek instead claims first delivery date is not 2027 but 2026.

"Following today's news that the HÜRJET will be delivered in 2027, I spoke to TAI sources. Although the SSB reports indicated that the delivery date was 2027, this date was brought forward to 2026. TAI attaches great importance to this date. Because 2026 is very important for the Turkish Air Force, as well as for exports.
In our interview with General Manager Mehmet Demiroğlu at Farnborough, he gave the date 2026."

Recalling that HÜRJET has conducted flights in Spain and Egypt, Demiroğlu continued:

"It received a great deal of interest in Egypt. We are in discussions with Egypt. It went to Spain in Europe, and we are in talks with them as well. We are very hopeful. HÜRJET will truly fill a significant gap in its field. Its design as both a supersonic aircraft and a light attack and training aircraft allows for a wide range of configurations and uses. We hope to begin our deliveries to the Turkish Air Force within 2026. That is our current plan. We don't see any issues there. Even if some minor challenges arise, we are resolving them. There is no change in the delivery target for 2026."

To sum up: 2025 delivery date remains unchanged and as planned, 2025 delivery will be made in 2026, not 2027.

 

[Oublious]

A potential chance of export in 2025 for the Hurjet.
