Turkey Displays Its Fifth-Gen Stealth Fighter Jet At Singapore Air Show


Turkish Aerospace displayed the exact model of its 5th generation fighter jet Turkish Fighter in the Asia region for the first time and displayed its indigenous platforms.

For the participation and importance of the Singapore Airshow, Turkish Aerospace President and CEO Temel Kotil said: “We are excited to be part of the Singapore Airshow. It is important to be part of the Asian market in the defense industry. We are making strategic decisions on a global scale to increase our business marketing activities both in the academic field and in production. We are working on new business models to develop relationships in the region. I believe it will strengthen us.”

Turkey elected to pursue a national combat aircraft in 2010 to replace the air force’s F-16s from 2030. Following evaluation of various configurations, Turkey chose a twin-engined, twin-tailed layout in 2015, with a design and development contract awarded to prime contractor Turkish Aerospace for what was then known as TF-X the following year. The program has taken on a higher priority since Turkey's removal from the F-35 program.

The TF is of a stealthy design, with internal weapon bays. Its service ceiling is 55,000 ft and maximum speed is Mach 1.8 at 40,000 ft, with the ability to “supercruise," or fly supersonically without afterburner. The airframe will be rated for +9/-3.5g loads and sensors will include an AESA radar under development by ASELSAN. Two 29,000-pound class General Electric F110 engines will power early TFs, as they do Turkey’s F-16s, but the definitive powerplant remains undefined. However, it is likely to be an indigenous design under development by TRMotor, which might include some Russian technology.

Full-scale models of indigenously-developed weapons from Tubitak-SAGE, Aselsan, and Roketsan appear on display alongside the TF mock-up, illustrating the kind of armament that the aircraft will carry-in service. They include the Aselsan Miniature Bomb, which is akin to the Boeing GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb, the HGK series of Mk 80 bombs fitted with GPS/inertial guidance kits, and the KGK series, which also adds a range-extending wing kit. Roketsan SOM and SOM-J standoff missiles are shown, as are two members of the Goktug air-to-air missile family, developed by Tubitak-SAGE. The Peregrin is a highly-maneuverable imaging infrared guided within-visual-range weapon, while the Merlin is a longer-ranged weapon with active radar guidance.

To be remembered, In 2021 the sales agreement of Turkish Aerospace UAV ANKA has accelerated the Asian defense industry and its surroundings. In addition to UAV, Turkish Aerospace‘s Advanced Jet Trainer and Light Attack Aircraft HÜRJET are also offered to Malaysia. Turkish Aerospace expects to produce and manufactured 15 of them in Malaysia.
