TUSAŞ Chairman of the Board Prof. Dr. Rafet Bozdoğan announced that the HURJET aircraft have been structurally completed to a large extent. Another important step has been achieved in the HÜRJET project, Turkey's first jet-powered trainer, originally designed and developed by Turkish Aerospace Industries. Production of two HÜRJET prototypes, which will make its first flight on March 18, 2023, continues.
One of the prototypes will perform the first flight, while the other will be used in the upcoming tests. In addition, he announced that the planes are mostly structurally complete and that the landing gear and engines will be installed and started soon.
The assembly work of ATAK 2023, whose first flight is expected to take place in March 2, continues. Thanks to the experience and operational experience gained from the T129 ATAK, the helicopter is developed completely uniquely and is designed to be suitable for different weather conditions. Subsystems of T625 Gökbey, another TAI production, will also be used in ATAK-II. It has been announced that the Ukrainian origin TV3-117VMA turboshaft engine to be used in ATAK-II will be produced in Turkey.
