The Hürjet project was initiated to be included in the Turkish Air Force inventory, replacing the T-38 aircraft used within the scope of Jet Evolvement Training and the F-5 aircraft used in acrotim demonstrations.
The TAI aims to produce two of the aircraft each month after 2025, according to previous statements by the head of the company.
The first safe flight in the configuration determined within the scope of the project was carried out on Sunday. The flight was successful.
Hürjet, tailored to become a fifth-generation training aircraft, will be equipped with an advanced mission computer in its modern cockpit.
The aircraft will be supplied with superior radar and sensitive attack systems, and with air and ground communication capabilities, reducing threats and risks.
