Within the framework of the HÜRKUŞ project, the aim is the design, development, prototype production and international certification of an original training aircraft by domestic means that will meet the training requirements of the Turkish Armed Forces and gain a share in the world market.
Within the scope of the project executed by TUSAŞ (TAI), 2 prototype training aircrafts, 2 ground aircrafts and the Technical Data Package are to be delivered.
The two completed prototypes of our HÜRKUŞ aircraft received the "TT32 Aircraft Type Certificate" from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (SHGM) on11thJuly 2016. On the same day, the Certification of the SHGM was validated for all European countries by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). Thus, HÜRKUŞ became the first Turkish aircraft to receive a type certificate from the European Civil Aviation Authority.
In order to meet the need of the Air Force Command of 15 new generation basic training aircrafts, the serial production of the HÜRKUŞ aircraft has commenced and our aircraft named HÜRKUŞ-B will have a cockpit structure and mission computer developed by ASELSAN in accordance with the basic military training aircraft requirements.
Within the scope of HÜRKUŞ-B, it has been planned for the first of our basic training aircrafts to be delivered to the Air Force Command in 2018 and the last aircraft in 2019.
