HÜRKUŞ-II is at the First Step of Türkiye's Fighter Aircraft Development Chain

HÜRKUŞ-II is at the first step of Türkiye's manned fighter aircraft development chain. Following the new generation basic trainer aircraft, Türkiye will complete this chain with the jet trainer HÜRJET and the multi-role fighter aircraft KAAN.

HÜRKUŞ-II will be at the beginning of the pilot candidate's transition chain from basic training to jet training and eventually to a fighter jet. Pilots will improve their basic flying and piloting skills with HÜRKUŞ-II.

With this project, Türkiye has largely built its aircraft development ecosystem. With the HÜRKUŞ project, Türkiye has become able to design and produce its own modern aircraft. During the development of HÜRKUŞ, TAI and the domestic industry gained numerous design, production, testing and certification capabilities. The talents of the companies in the ecosystem were reflected in HÜRKUŞ-II.

These gains were transferred to other manned air platforms, especially HÜRJET and KAAN, in the long term.
