Female engineers and technicians at TUSAŞ successfully designed, manufactured and integrated a KAAN fighter jet component entirely through a women-led team.

The GÖKSİM Full Flight Simulator, developed by HAVELSAN for the GÖKBEY helicopter, has reached the delivery stage. Pilots will now receive EASA-certified training on the indigenous system.

Defense Industry President Haluk Görgün announced that the KAAN Technology Facility, built by HAVELSAN within the TUSAŞ campus, will significantly enhance the national fighter jet’s digital capabilities and engineering capacity.

New prototypes of Türkiye’s National Combat Aircraft KAAN have been unveiled for structural and flight testing. The development marks a major milestone toward serial production.

TUSAŞ is negotiating KAAN and GÖKBEY sales and potential local production with Saudi Arabia, while preparing to unveil a new kamikaze UAV and helicopter projects in May.

TUSAŞ CEO Mehmet Demiroğlu announced that the KAAN national combat aircraft will begin test flights with its prototype by the end of April, marking a major milestone for Türkiye’s defense aviation program.

Türkiye’s first jet-powered trainer aircraft HÜRJET enters the European market by replacing Spain’s aging F-5 fleet. The deal paves the way for new international partnerships.

TUSAŞ will focus on intensive testing, prototyping, and serial production of KAAN, HÜRJET, ANKA III, and GÖKBEY projects throughout 2026.
