HÜRJET
The HÜRJET Jet Training and Light Attack Aircraft is designed to play a critical role by utilizing its superior performance characteristics with its single-engine, tandem cockpit and modern avionics suite. The armed variant of the HÜRJET is a significant force in the battlefield with its wide range of missions and superior payload capacity.

In addition to these features of HÜRJET;
- To be used as a replacement for Jet Training Aircraft that have been in service for over 20 years.
