BEIRUT — Turkish Aerospace (TA) is developing a maritime version of its light attack and trainer aircraft Hurjet, as the company eyes increased exports to NATO countries.

“We have recently started work on a navalized version of HÜRJET,” TA CEO Mehmet Demiroglu said at a Turkish naval expo today, according to a transcript the firm provided to Breaking Defense. “It is still too early to define exactly what the aircraft will look like. Maritime operating conditions are significantly more demanding than land-based operations, and the aircraft will also need a more powerful engine.”

He added that TA has been in discussions with the UK for its trainer procurement program for nearly a year now. “We will continue to do everything required on our side as the process moves forward,” Demiroglu said.
