What is the goal of that cooperation?

We coould get the C-390 and in return help them with what they need in an JV.

What is the goal of that cooperation?

Hopefully?

C-390 and C-390 IVR (ASW) for Air Force and Navy + production (+maintance center) in Türkiye to help Embraer meet the increasing demand for the C-390 around the globe.

Funnily enough Embraer years ago had offered us co-development and production of the C-390 and of course in their great "wisdom" our higher ups rejected it . Just another deal that we would have benefited greatly from rejected without any vision for the future.

We really seem to be going for production line in Turkiye. This would be great for both companies. Also we might get to be able to customize Embraer aircraft more easily with the agreements and build the aircraft we want.(Like MPA, AWACS, test aircrafts etc)

Might even leads to joint production of mid-range passenger jet as well.(Like B737 and A320 families) I was against the TUSAS's potential passenger jet development project due to hight risks, too many variables that can effect your success and very risky potential for high gain but joint development with Embrear could work.(Both for development side and more importantly establishing logistics network side)

In the future might even leads to way for TEI to develop passenger jet engines as well to keep sustainability.

10-15 years too late, but great news regardless. Hope it's more than just building build to print parts.

10-15 years too late

Could be the official logo of this country.

but great news regardless. Hope it's more than just building build to print parts.

Would suprise me if it was anything but parts production.

Embraer is going full in on the C-390 and variants. Unless TAI plans on funding the R&D on different variants for the E-2 on its own, which I think is very unlikely unless the military has signaled interest in such a project. The Navy wanted long range ASW/Maritime Patrol aircrafts but if the money is there right now to fund such a project from the ground up is another story.

Another possibility is of course regional passenger-jet but is there even an interest and financial will left for that seeing how all "turkish" airliners have been putting in billion dollar orders for Boeing and Airbus in the last couple years.

The MoU being about the C-390 was too good to be true.
