The aircraft took off from Mürted Air Base and soared above the capital city of Ankara.
Accompanied by an F-16 fighter jet, the Hürjet reached supersonic speeds, exceeding the speed of sound. The aircraft remained airborne for 38 minutes before making a controlled landing.
The Hürjet, a single-engine, tandem cockpit aircraft with advanced avionics, is expected to play a crucial role in the Turkish Air Forces Command's inventory.
The project was initiated by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) in 2017 and has garnered international interest, with Spain reportedly considering a potential aircraft swap.
The Hürjet's successful supersonic flight marks a significant milestone for Türkiye's aerospace industry and demonstrates the country's growing capabilities in defense technology. (ILKHA)
