The Jet Training and Light Attack Aircraft HÜRJET, developed by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TUSAŞ) with national resources, is getting ready to fly.
TAI General Manager Prof. Dr. Temel Kotil made a statement to A Haber. In this context, Kotil stated that HÜRJET is doing very well and is preparing to fly soon. In addition, Kotil announced that within the scope of the project, 2 flyable prototype aircraft and 1 static and 1 fatigue test aircraft were produced to be used in test activities.
HÜRJET had its landing gear
TUSAŞ Chairman of the Board Prof. Dr. Rafet Bozdoğan had announced that the HURJET planes were largely completed in terms of structure. The first of the HÜRJET prototypes, which will make its maiden flight on March 18, 2023, as Turkey's first jet-powered trainer aircraft, HÜRJET, has made another important step forward and was photographed while being pulled from the hangar on the landing gear. In this context, it is known that the production of the second prototype of HURJET continues.
Target 2 Hürjet per month
The works for the 2 prototypes to be produced in the first phase of the project have been completed to a large extent. One of the prototypes will be used in endurance tests and the other in flight tests. The prototype to be used in the endurance test came out of the hangar and will be subjected to full-length static tests. Ground tests will begin soon with the prototype that will fly.
Hürjet will prepare for its maiden flight on March 18, 2023, with engine integration and ground tests. With the tests and development activities to be carried out afterwards, it is aimed that Hürjet will be able to enter the inventory by 2025. It is aimed to reach 2 Hürjet production capacity per month during the mass production period.
Serial production decision was taken for Hürjet in January 2022 at the Defense Industry Executive Committee. In the first stage, 16 Hürjets will be delivered to the Air Force. A bid was submitted with Hürjet for the 18-plane light attack aircraft tender in Malaysia.
