HÜRJET Jet Trainer and Light Attack Aircraft, Turkey's first manned jet-powered aircraft, which started to work in 2017 as the original project of Turkish Aerospace Industries, has made 25 flights since its first flight on April 2023, 10.
HÜRJET, which folded the landing gear in its last two flights, has successfully performed flight control system, air data system and aircraft system tests, staying in the air for a total of 6 hours and 16 minutes. The second test pilot took part in the last flight of the HÜRJET Jet Trainer and Light Attack Aircraft, making its first flight in this context. From now on, HÜRJET will continue to meet the sky with two pilots during intense test periods.
Temel Kotil, General Manager of Turkish Aerospace Industries, shared his views on the subject and said, “HÜRJET is very used to flying. We carry out test flights almost every week, collecting important data in the air and making analyzes. He took his place in HÜRJET, our second test pilot, by breaking new ground again today. We will make a significant contribution to the training of many Turkish fighter pilots in the future with the training planes that we will give to the Turkish Armed Forces by going into mass production soon.'' He said.
The first delivery of HÜRJET, which is designed to play a critical role by using its superior performance features with its single-engine, tandem and modern avionics suite cockpit, is planned to take place in 2025.
