土耳其航空航太工業公司（TUSAŞ）正積極推進其自主研發的第五代戰鬥機「KAAN」計劃，目標是在2028年底前向土耳其空軍交付首架量產機。

TUSAŞ執行長穆斯塔法·德米羅格魯（Mustafa Demiroğlu）在2025年5月的Teknofest航空科技展上表示，目前第二和第三架原型機正在組裝中，總計將製造四架原型機，其中三架用於飛行測試，一架用於地面測試。

第一架原型機已於2024年2月完成首飛，並成功啟動加力燃燒器，預計第三次試飛將在2025年8月至10月間進行。第二架原型機將根據首架飛行測試的經驗進行設計優化，包括進氣口外形和內部結構的改進，以提升飛行性能和穩定性。

目前，KAAN戰機採用通用電氣（GE）的F110渦輪風扇引擎，未來計劃在2032年前換裝土耳其自主研發的引擎，以實現完全的國產化。

KAAN計劃旨在取代土耳其空軍現役的F-4E和F-16戰機，具備低雷達截面設計、內部武器艙、超音速巡航能力以及國產電子系統等特點，標誌著土耳其在航空航太領域邁出的重要一步。

🔍 三個重要觀點

1. 自主研發提升國防自主性：KAAN戰機的開發顯示土耳其在高端軍事科技領域追求自主化，減少對外國技術的依賴，強化國防自主性。
2. 技術創新與國產化進程：從採用GE引擎到計劃換裝國產引擎，以及在設計上的持續優化，反映出土耳其在航空技術上的創新能力和國產化進程。
3. 國際合作與市場潛力：KAAN戰機的發展吸引了包括沙烏地阿拉伯和巴基斯坦在內的國家關注，顯示其在國際市場上的潛力，並可能促進土耳其與其他國家的軍事合作。

Turkey Accelerates Development of Fifth-Generation ‘KAAN’ Fighter Jet, Aiming for 2028 Delivery

Turkish Aerospace Industries (TUSAŞ) is intensifying efforts to develop its indigenous fifth-generation fighter jet, the “KAAN,” with the goal of delivering the first production aircraft to the Turkish Air Force by the end of 2028.

At the 2025 Teknofest aerospace and technology festival, TUSAŞ CEO Mustafa Demiroğlu announced that the second and third prototypes are currently under assembly. A total of four prototypes are planned: three for flight testing and one for ground testing.

The first prototype completed its maiden flight in February 2024 and successfully activated its afterburner. The third test flight is anticipated between August and October 2025. The second prototype will incorporate design improvements based on insights from the first, including modifications to the air inlets and internal structural enhancements to optimize flight performance and stability.

Currently, the KAAN jet is powered by General Electric’s F110 turbofan engine. Plans are in place to replace this with a domestically developed engine by 2032, aiming for complete nationalization of the aircraft’s components.

The KAAN project is intended to replace Turkey’s existing fleet of F-4E and F-16 fighter jets. Key features include low radar cross-section design, internal weapons bays, supercruise capability, and an indigenous avionics suite, marking a significant advancement in Turkey’s aerospace capabilities.

🔍 Three Key Points 

1. Enhancing Defense Autonomy: The development of the KAAN fighter jet underscores Turkey’s commitment to achieving self-reliance in advanced military technology, reducing dependence on foreign systems.
2. Technological Innovation and Localization: Transitioning from GE engines to domestically produced ones and continuous design optimizations reflect Turkey’s innovation capacity and progress in localizing aerospace technologies.
3. International Collaboration and Market Potential: The KAAN project’s development has garnered interest from countries like Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, indicating its potential in the global defense market and opportunities for international military cooperation. 

KAAN戰機的研發與測試主要在土耳其首都安卡拉進行。
