HÜRJET Jet Trainer: Advancing Training for Spanish Air Force
**Turkish Aerospace Industries (TUSAŞ) has recently forged an important partnership with several Spanish companies, headed by Airbus, to enhance training for the Spanish Air and Space Forces. This collaboration is focused on the “Advanced Jet Trainer, Integrated Training System – Combat (ITS-C)” program, which seeks to replace the aging F-5M training aircraft currently in use. By merging Airbus’s extensive experience in design and manufacturing with TUSAŞ’s innovative HÜRJET jet trainer, the initiative aims to elevate the standards of pilot training through state-of-the-art technology.**
This new Memorandum of Understanding builds on a previous agreement between TUSAŞ and Airbus, emphasizing industrial cooperation. The signing took place at the FEINDEF fair in Madrid, where representatives from the Spanish defense sector were also present. The goal is to integrate the HÜRJET into Spain’s training framework, thereby bolstering local industry and ensuring a modern approach to military aviation.
