Turkey’s aerospace industry is entering a new era with the development of Hürjet, an advanced supersonic trainer and light combat aircraft designed to strengthen national defense capability and expand Turkey’s presence in the global aviation market.

Developed by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI), Hürjet represents a major leap in Turkey’s ambition to achieve technological autonomy in military aviation. Initiated in 2017 and unveiled to the world at the Farnborough International Airshow, the aircraft has progressed through extensive testing and entered advanced production phases.

Hürjet is a single-engine, multi-role jet capable of basic, advanced, and combat training. Its modern digital cockpit, advanced avionics, fly-by-wire control system, and multifunction displays provide pilots with a highly realistic training environment comparable to modern fifth-generation fighter jets. This significantly enhances pilot readiness while reducing operational training costs.

Beyond training, Hürjet’s light fighter variant offers capabilities for air patrol, close air support, and counter-insurgency missions. With lower operating costs than heavy fighters, it presents an attractive solution for air forces seeking modern performance within limited defense budgets.

The aircraft also plays a strategic role in Turkey’s long-term defense planning, bridging the gap between basic trainers and future platforms such as the KAAN fifth-generation fighter. Its supersonic performance enables realistic combat simulations, an advantage not offered by many competing trainer aircraft.

Hürjet is more than an aircraft—it is a symbol of Turkey’s growing aerospace ecosystem. The project strengthens domestic supply chains, transfers critical technologies such as composite structures and avionics integration, and creates skilled jobs across the defense sector.

With strong government support, export ambitions, and growing international interest, Hürjet has the potential to become a key asset in Turkey’s defense diplomacy and a competitive player in the global trainer aircraft market.

As Turkey continues to invest in innovation, self-reliance, and industrial synergy, Hürjet stands as a powerful testament to the nation’s rise as a global aerospace force.
