TAAC strives for critical system development in Turkey
The Hurjet’s maiden flight is planned for 2023.

TAAC carries out R&D, design and production of critical subsystems for fixed and rotary wing aerial platforms, including the opening/closing mechanisms of the landing gear and gun cover of the National Combat Aircraft.

TAAC Aviation Technologies (TAAC), which started its operations in 2019 with the partnership of Turkish Aerospace Industries and Altinay Defense, continues its activities to develop motion control systems, landing gear and test systems in accordance with aviation standards, especially Turkey's National Combat Aircraft and Hurjet.

TAAC carries out R&D, design and production activities of critical subsystems for fixed and rotary wing aerial platforms. It continues to develop the opening/closing mechanisms of the flight control system, landing gear and gun cover of the National Combat Aircraft that will leave the hangar in 2023.

Aiming to reduce foreign dependence in aviation technologies, TAAC contributes to studies towards more local sources. Continuing its projects for the domestic development of all motion control systems required by an aircraft, the company also aims to accelerate its efforts to export these systems.

Turkish Aerospace Industries General Manager Prof. Dr. Temel Kotil says, "We continue to work on domestic and national technologies in the field of aviation. TAAC Aviation Technologies, our joint affiliate with Altinay Aviation, carries out important projects to bring the systems needed by the industry in critical areas to our country with national means. These systems, which will also be placed on the National Combat Aircraft that will leave the hangar in 2023, will also contribute to the domestic, unique and independent aviation ecosystem of our country. I would like to thank our colleagues who contributed to these projects."

Hakan Altinay, Chairman of ALTINAY Technology Group, adds: "We have been working for many years in order to break the foreign dependency in the Defense and Aviation sector and to move our country forward by strengthening it in this field. With our subsidiary TAAC Aviation Technologies, which we established in partnership with TAI, we are taking these efforts even further with regard to critical aviation components. We will implement projects that have not been developed within the borders of Turkey until now for many of our domestic air platforms, especially the National Combat Aircraft, which is the survival project of our country. I would like to thank all our friends who worked hard for the development and strengthening of our country."
