Related institutions such as the Presidency of Defense Industries and TAI continue their work on aircraft without slowing down. Finally, it has been announced that the production of the front, middle and rear fuselage parts for the National Combat Aircraft has been completed and the testing process will begin. Here are the details…
When do the National Combat Aircraft tests begin?
After Hürkuş, TAI rolled up its sleeves for the production of Hürjet and National Combat Aircraft. Finally, it was shared that the production phase of the front, middle and rear body sections of the MMU was completed. So when will the testing process start?
In the last statement made by TAI General Manager Temel Kotil, it was said that the MMU/TF-X (National Combat Aircraft) test process will start from next year. Of course, there are still years before this aircraft enters the inventory. However, Hürjet will fill this gap by making its first flight in March.
