Defense Industry President Haluk Görgün and Air Forces Commander General Rafet Dalkıran performed a column flight before the acceptance activities of HÜRKUŞ-II.

Another important stage has been left behind in Turkey's domestic training aircraft program.

Defense Industry President Haluk Görgün and Air Forces Commander General Rafet Dalkıran carried out a test flight with the aircraft before the acceptance activities of HÜRKUŞ-II. The duo had the opportunity to examine the platform's capabilities on site during the flight.

The flight came immediately after the completion of HÜRKUŞ-II's military type certification. The aircraft received Turkey's first national Military Type Certificate on September 9, 2026. During the certification process, 1,790 requirements were verified in 12 different disciplines, and a total of 153 certification tests were carried out.

With this stage, the transition to acceptance activities for HÜRKUŞ-II has also accelerated.

After the HÜRKUŞ-II flight, Görgün and Dalkıran took off with HÜRJET this time.

The striking point of the test flight was that the HÜRJET used was equipped with the MURAD AESA radar developed by ASELSAN. Thus, another important flight test was carried out within the scope of studies on HÜRJET's radar integrated configuration.

The integration of MURAD AESA into HÜRJET is important in terms of developing the platform not only as an advanced jet trainer aircraft but also its infrastructure for different missions and configurations.

A total of 55 HÜRKUŞ-IIs are planned to be delivered to the Turkish Air Force by TAI. According to the information provided by Defense IndustryST, the production activities of a significant number of HÜRKUŞ-II have been completed.

HÜRKUŞ-II's receipt of its military type certificate and subsequent flights within the scope of acceptance activities stand out as one of the important stages in the process of the platform's entry into the Turkish Air Force inventory.

The mass production process is also progressing on the HÜRJET side.

The first serial production HÜRJET to be delivered to the Turkish Air Force made its first flight on August 30, 2026. With the testing of HÜRJET with MURAD AESA radar, studies on different configurations of the platform continue.

HÜRJET is expected to enter the delivery process for the Turkish Air Force and Spanish Air Force as of 2027.

Thus, the HÜRKUŞ-II and HÜRJET flights carried out on the same day revealed the point Turkey has reached in the development and acceptance processes of national air platforms, ranging from basic training to advanced jet training.
