Turkish Aerospace has chosen Egypt International Airshow (EIAS) 2024 to showcase the HÜRJET to the Egyptian Airforce and other air forces from Africa and the Middle East.
The HÜRJET Jet Trainer is a cutting-edge, single-engine, tandem-seat aircraft designed for modern pilot training. It boasts superior performance, advanced avionics, and a wide range of capabilities, making it a game-changer in the aerospace industry. HÜRJET Jet Trainer is designed to replace aging T-38s as Advanced Jet Trainers (AJT) and F-5s as Acrobatic Team Aircraft for the Turkish Air Force.
“We are excited to display the Hurjet for the first time at Egypt International Airshow. This event provides an ideal platform to demonstrate the HÜRJET’s capabilities and explore potential collaborations in the region,” said Dr. Mehmet Demiroğlu, President and CEO of Turkish Aerospace.
The HÜRJET’s advanced features and performance make it an attractive option for air forces looking to modernise their fleets with cost-effective and high-performance aircraft.
Advanced Features and Capabilities of the HÜRJET
The HÜRJET features an advanced mission computer and modern cockpit, equipped with state-of-the-art Human Machine Interface (HMI) to minimise conversion time to Turkish Fighter aircraft. The aircraft measures 45 feet in length, with a wingspan of 30 feet and a payload capacity of 2,700 kilograms. Its advanced avionics and high-performance components makes HÜRJET a versatile and powerful addition to any air force.
On its inaugural test flight on 25 April, the HÜRJET achieved an altitude of 14,000 feet and a speed of 250 knots, staying airborne for 26 minutes. With the last training flights after more than 80 sorties, it has reached 30,000 feet and 0.9 mach speed. This successful test flight demonstrated the HÜRJET’s impressive capabilities and potential as a top-tier training aircraft.
