Turkish Aerospace to Build Flight Control System Integration Facility for Fighter Jet Project
Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) will open a new flight control system integrated test facility called “Iron Bird” to accelerate the pace of its defense projects, including the one to build a fifth-generation indigenous stealth fighter jet.
The facility, scheduled to enter operation in February 2022, will speed up the development, certification and production processes of domestic defense products.
The Iron Bird will provide infrastructure for the integrated testing and verification of critical systems in National Combat Aircraft (MMU) as well as Hürjet, Turkey’s advanced jet trainer and light attack aircraft and its different configurations, TAI announced Wednesday.
