National warplane KAAN As far as it was officially announced today, the second flight was also made. There was no problem in the trial.
British BAE Systems with the support Developed by Turkish Aerospace Industries national warplane KAAN This description for the second flight test you can see at the bottom of the page for done: “Another historic moment in history… Our KAAN met with GökVatan for the second time today! We are excited and proud. Our National Combat Aircraft, which successfully made its first flight on February 21, took off from the runway at 08.46 this morning, stayed in the air for 14 minutes and reached an altitude of 10 thousand feet. I am full of gratitude that we were able to witness this historical moment together. I would like to express once again that; “This success is the success of our nation’s children.” In KAAN’s much more important first flight, Barbaros Demirbaş was in the pilot seat as a test pilot. and an F-16 accompanied the flight. To remember, KAAN took off from Mürted Airport for its first flight test. It has a wingspan of 14 meters And 21 meters long. Turkish Aerospace Industries had the following to say about the fifth generation fighter jet, with a maximum speed of 1.8 mach and a service ceiling of 55 thousand feet, thanks to its twin engines:

” The KAAN Development Project Agreement was signed with the SSB on August 5, 2016, and work continues with all stakeholders involved in the project, especially the main contractor TUSAŞ. The current contract signed covers the preliminary design phase, which is part of the development and production process. During this period, it is aimed to design the aircraft, develop engineering, technology, test infrastructures and certification processes, and gain capabilities for the design and development of combat aircraft.
The ‘Heads of Agreement’ for the development of KAAN between TAI and BAE Systems (UK) was signed on 28 January 2017, and the agreement minutes were signed on 10 May 2017. The cooperation agreement between TAI and BAE Systems was signed and entered into force on 25 August 2017. A unique Engine Development Project, which is aimed to be used in the twin-engine KAAN configuration determined in order to meet the operational requirements of the Turkish Air Force, is being carried out in KAAN.
Aircraft development activities will continue using ready-made engines at KAAN until the Original Engine Development Project is completed. KAAN, the 5th generation multi-role fighter aircraft, provides superior capabilities for the requirements of both air-air and air-ground combat. KAAN, the strong and agile platform of Turkish Aerospace Industries with high survivability; He is a true warrior with his smart and powerful fighting abilities.
Testing activities and the most advanced engineering tools and methods are used to determine and optimize the aerodynamic geometry, which is one of the most important steps in the Aircraft Development Project. The cockpit design of the aircraft is being matured to minimize the pilot’s workload, taking into account the capabilities and equipment that 5th generation warplanes must have. “A cockpit environment that will increase pilot situational awareness is developed by taking into account the physical, cognitive and environmental factors of the pilot during the design process.”
