Hurjet

Spain’s on-again, off-again efforts to pick a replacement platform for the F-5 lead-in trainer aircraft are again underway.

A Spanish company will produce active and passive inceptor controls for Turkish Aerospace’s (TAI) Hurjet advanced jet trainer.

The aircraft, named Kaan by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, is one of the centerpieces of an ongoing effort to make the country a major defense exporter.
