The Spanish aviation ecosystem and the Turkish aviation ecosystem could generate significant synergy through Hürjet. Fingers crossed.![]()
Airbus Leaves the Door Open for HÜRJET/SAETA II LCA Variant | TURDEF
Airbus HÜRJET/SAETA II Programme Manager Raúl Rosino stated that HÜRJET/SAETA II advanced trainer for Spain might evolve towards a light combat aircraft role.www.turdef.com
It is confirmed that Spain is at least interested in HÜRJET LCA
Have you a source?Spanish company ITP Aero had developed a TVC version of the EJ200 that was meant to be used in Hal Tejas, there was some synergy of thought of using this engine in a future carrier based Hurjet.
Have you a source?
I am pretty sure KAAN will be navalized too, but for the first phases yeah Hurjet will be the main aircraft to be used with MUGEM (in a recent video released by TRT Haber they did announce KAAN will be used on MUGEM and the new pictures that were released of MUGEM shows the KAAN on it) other than that I think the naval version will probably be designated as Hurjet B and I also think when they said we almost have a ready ramp and are almost ready for ramp take off tests I think they meant they will start those tests with Hurjet soon? maybe this is all a speculation thoAbout carrier based Hürjet, I am starting to have doubts regarding how much of a Hürjet will that be, just aside from obivious design changes
A LCA might be a complementary aircraft for a larger naval aviation fleet but ours is not that large. We have one bet and I don't think Hürjet with LCA-level capabilities is a big enough card. The carrier-based Hürjet will likely end up being way larger (And this is not only wing area) as it is supposed to be the main combat aircraft for MUGEM.
So, even one EJ200 might not cut it for what is in works.
I will try to get an answer on that matter when I go to SAHA EXPO next week.
