TR TF-X KAAN | F-16 Özgür | Hürjet | Hürkuş - Fighter & Trainer Aircraft Projects

From an interview made a day ago regarding HURJET...

TAI CEO Temel Kotil:

"We performed static testing on our static test prototype today. Our aircraft performed perfectly under full load."

"Uçağımız pırıl pırıl yerinde durdu, kırılmadı"

EDIT: Forgot to mention if it was TF-X or Hürjet sorry :/

For those of you who wish to discuss name issues for TFX , there is a dedicated thread.

TFX Name Suggestion Dıscussions

@Anatolian Eagle The Anatolian eagle or the Middle Eastern eagle does not sound like one of us. These are usually the names and appellations of others. For example, Anatolia does not cover the whole of Turkiye and is of Greek origin, okay, it may have been appropriated by us, but that is the...

2026 is a bit early IMHO. Aselsan can deliver BURFIS in late 2025 at the earliest mid-2026 is a more likely date. Serial production of TFX is very likely to start in 2028 but TuAF can get a few TFX in late 2026 for testing purposes.

Aw yis, sweet times. Though i would say Icarus's engine roars louder than TFX's

 

[UcanTost]

At this point I want to bring up this earlier post of mine regarding the agility of the TFX.

Kızılelma rocks, TFX follows !

Prf. Hayrani Öz made the calculations and I made the data conversions and visualization.
Which plane makes the level roll turn easier.
The larger the polygon area the better the performance.
TFX engine power increases will make it even more agile.

Maneuverability Comparison of Fighter Jets

I'll believe MIUS but stay sceptical about MMU. So far, its only claims.

İsmail Demir National Combat Aircraft's first flight;

"We will make the first flight is the end of 2024 and 2025. Let's give a later date, but be prepared for surprises. We will deliver it to our Air Force in 2030."

SSB President İsmail Demir: (ANKA-3 Unmanned Fighter Aircraft)

You'll see it in the air very soon.

They fly with HÜRJET.

Let's say 40 days.

Ismail Demir,
National Combat Aircraft will be more advanced than its counterparts

"The MMU will be a smart system. It will include systems such as artificial intelligence and cyber security. When we build the domestic engine, we can safely call it a 5th generation aircraft."

 

[Zafer]

I think 2030 delivery to the force indicates a TEI engine.

The latest situation in the HÜRJET jet trainer

Ismail Demir;

"There is an export potential. If we had HURJET 5-6 years ago, we would have exported it now. We will also make a model that can take off and land on the TCG ANADOLU Ship. We will also perform the weapon integration."

SSB President İsmail Demir: (HÜRJET)

The engine is not native. There may be an export barrier in the future.

We see it as a lower probability as it is a training aircraft.

However, there is also domestic engine work for this.

 

[Cabatli_TR]

Mr Demir: ""The locality rate of MMU at the prototype stage is around 50-60%, and in mass production it will be close to 80% in the future."

 

[I_Love_F16]

However, there is also domestic engine work for this.

Few months ago he said that there was no need to develop an engine for Hurjet, and now he says that they are working on it … Hmm

 

[Bürküt]

İsmail Demir's statements are like riddle sometimes...

TAI just said end of 2023. Why are they saying conflicting things days apart?

It is one of the possibilities but not the most likely scenario.

Probable infighting between heads of TAI and SSB.

TAI still plans to fly it at the end of 2023 or Q1 2024
