Turkey's First Military Type Certificate for HÜRKUŞ-II

HÜRKUŞ-II, developed by TAI, was entitled to receive the Military Type Certificate after the comprehensive certification process.

Another important stage in Turkey's national aviation efforts has been left behind. HÜRKUŞ-II, developed by TAI, passed an important threshold with the Military Type Certificate issued by the Certification Board consisting of the Presidency of Defense Industries and Air Forces Command personnel on September 9, 2026.

The certificate is important in that the design, production, testing, verification and military airworthiness processes of an air platform developed domestically in Turkey can be carried out by the country's own technical authority and expert staff.

1,790 requirements verified

The certification process of HÜRKUŞ-II was carried out with a very comprehensive technical study.

A total of 1,790 requirements were verified in 12 different certification disciplines, while 950 certification evidence documents were examined. A total of 153 certification tests were carried out within the scope of the platform's verification activities.

38 of these tests were carried out as laboratory tests, 71 as ground tests and 44 as flight tests. A total of 90 experts from SSB, Air Force Command, Ministry of National Defense, TR Airworthiness and TAI took part in the process.

Turkey's certification capability is getting stronger

Defense Industry President Haluk Görgün stated that the certificate received by HÜRKUŞ-II is a strategic threshold not only in terms of platform, but also in terms of Turkey's establishment of technical authority and certification culture in military aviation.

Developed by TAI, HÜRKUŞ-II stands out as a new generation training aircraft developed in line with the basic training needs of the Turkish Air Force.
