The fuel system of Turkiye’s first advanced jet trainer aircraft, HÜRJET, will be safely flown and tested on the ground before the maiden flight. HÜRJET’s fuel tanks and fuel system will be simulated. Fuel transfer, filling/discharging, engine feeding and ventilation systems and sealing processes in the aircraft will be tested at this facility. The facility will remain in operation for the life of HÜRJET.
TUSAŞ has also stated a similar work to establish a new facility for Turkish Indigenous fighter TF’s fuel systems. The company will also contribute to the design improvements of the platforms due to the test data it will obtain from these facilities.General Manager of TUSAŞ, Professor Temel Kotil, said, “While we provide the platforms our country needs in aviation, we also continue our investments to develop and expand test capabilities. With our newly commissioned HÜRJET Fuel Systems Test Facility, we have gained the first facility in our country and one of the few facilities in the world in this field.”
