HÜRJET simulator is heading to Spain.

Turkish Aerospace Industries (TUSAŞ) is continuing serial production of the HÜRJET, which it developed and is currently testing, for delivery to the Turkish Air Force. While these developments continue, HÜRJET has achieved its first export success with a contract signed with Spain. HÜRJET is planned to begin service in Türkiye in 2027 and in Spain in 2028.

HAVELSAN, Türkiye's leading and one of the world's leading simulator manufacturers, is working intensively to finalize the deliveries of the full mission and flight training simulator it developed for HÜRJET.

The simulator, which will be ready for the Turkish Air Force this year, will be exported to Spain along with the HÜRJET aircraft.

Nacar explained that they started working on the HÜRJET simulator 3 years ago, saying, “Previously, we were making training simulators for completed platforms, both domestic and foreign, especially foreign ones, to train pilots. But there is a difference here: In HÜRJET, we contributed to the engineering tests and verifications of an unfinished aircraft, a number of cockpit scenarios, and a number of maneuverability tests, and we also created an engineering simulator where trials were conducted on models.”

Nacar stated that they contributed to the development process of HÜRJET, and similarly, they are carrying out studies for the National Combat Aircraft KAAN.

"We will undertake even bigger projects," he added.

Nacar also made assessments regarding the export potential of HÜRJET and its simulator, noting the following:

“We will have the opportunity to provide simulators to every country that TUSAŞ sells HÜRJET to. The first example of this will hopefully be completed with the contract signed with Spain. There, we have reached the capacity to provide the simulator software and all data packages to the company responsible for simulator production in Spain. This is a turning point for us. In the past, we used to buy simulators from foreigners and build them here, but today the opposite is happening.”

Another important feature is that it is a new generation simulator. Thanks to the embedded simulator mounted on the aircraft, without the need for the screen and visual systems you see, pilots can use their time outside of their duties to train in different scenarios in a real flight environment. This is truly valuable, a new development in this field that is newly used in the world. Therefore, with the HÜRJET project, we will take stronger steps and undertake bigger projects with our national companies, our holistic defense industry approach, our own business ecosystem, and the larger defense industry business ecosystem of which we are a part.

National platforms will also increase the share of national solutions in the simulator field.

Mehmet Akif Nacar announced that they will have the HÜRJET simulator ready for use by the Turkish Air Force in the last quarter of this year and will deliver it. Nacar stated that export revenues in the simulator field will also increase with the foreign sales of national platforms such as HÜRJET, GÖKBEY, HÜRKUŞ, and ATAK, and the solutions developed for them.

Nacar said, "Because when we created simulators for previous non-national systems, the opportunities to mass produce and sell them in large numbers were more limited, but today, as this market grows together with TUSAŞ, our share of the business and our export share will increase accordingly."
