Turkey's KAAN Program Takes Flight: A Leap Towards Indigenous 5+ Generation Fighter Aircraft
KAAN aircraft - Turkish Air Force (TurAF)

Turkey has marked a significant milestone with the maiden flight of its indigenous KAAN aircraft on February 21, 2024. This launch is part of the KAAN Program, an ambitious initiative aimed at replacing the Turkish Air Force's aging F-16 fleet and meeting air force requirements beyond the 2030s. The KAAN aircraft, designed for air-to-air and air-to-surface roles, boasts advanced features such as increased situational awareness, sensor fusion, low observability, and weapon bays. Set to remain operational until the 2070s, it will be interoperable with critical assets like F-35As.


The program, demonstrating Turkey's commitment to mega-projects, has already gained extensive capabilities in jet fighter design, development, and production, placing Turkey among the few countries with such technological prowess. The Turkish Fighter-KAAN promises increased air-to-air engagement ranges, precise supersonic weapon firing, and augmented lethality through the integration of Artificial Intelligence and Neural Networks.
