Location Ankara
Architectural Project
Total Construction Area 65.000 m²
Start Date Of Work 05.07.2018
End Date Of Work 14.07.2020
A brand new factory within the Turkish Aviation and Space Industry (TUSAŞ) premises has been created to manufacture the fifth-generation TF-X Fighter Jet targeted for August 2023 roll out.
Some 3000 engineers will work in an area of 63 thousand square meters that will feature the latest manufacturing techniques such as 3D printing and use of Titanium alloy.
Ankara appears to be accelerating its indigenous fighter development following its ouster from the F-35 program over S-400 row. In February, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan commented that building the TF-X was “the best response to those threatening to end Turkey’s involvement in the F-35 program.”
“Construction of the special engineering complex will be over soon. It consists of 9 blocks in a total area of 63,000sqm. A working area of 25,000sqm has been created for our engineers,” Temel Kotil, General Manager of TUSAŞ, was quoted as saying by Milliyet newpaper yesterday.
