TURKISH PRIMARY AND BASIC TRAINER AIRCRAFT - HURKUS

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:

Cruise Speed …………………… > 250 kts
G Limits ………………..…….. +7g / -3.5 g
Climb ……………………..15000 ft in 5 min
Seating configuration ….. Stepped tandem
Pressurization…………………………. Yes
Anti-G system…………………………. Yes
OBOGS ………………………….…….. Yes
0/0 Ejection seat ………………….……Yes

In HÜRKUŞ project, besides of providing many technical properties, there are studies made on human machine interface, and the relation of human with the aircraft. HÜRKUŞ will be an aircraft in which the human machine interface is provided, and pilot’s safety, comfort, usability, and maintainability requirements are satisfied.

In the aircraft, considering the anthropometric range, the smallest size pilot will be provided with a comfortable view and functional reach while the largest pilot will be able to use all controls comfortably, and will be comfortable seated in the aircraft.

There will be a 110 outside view for the front pilot, and 50 outside view for the rear pilot.

For the cockpit layout, which is still being worked on, careful consideration according to importance is given to the placement of controls and displays.

ITU-TAI-LIGHT COMMERCIAL HELICOPTER PROJECT

The Light Commercial Helicopter Research, Development and Application Project between TAI and Istanbul Technical University has been going on since 2002 in 3 contract phases.

The project aims to increase national knowledge related to aviation technologies, especially analysis, design and production of rotary wing aircraft; to a level of “Producing Knowledge”; support local production based on high technologies in collaboration with local industry and build a prototype helicopter.

The scope of the first contract phase; conceptual design of the fuselage has been successfully completed.

The scope of the second contract phase, which is still on-going, is to complete the detailed design of the fuselage and build a mock-up. Detailed design and mock-up production activities are on-going.

The scope of the third contract phase, which is still on-going, is “Production of Helicopter Fuselage Parts and Integration to the Fuselage”. The activities being performed under this phase are the production and assembly of various fuselage and tail parts and integration of these parts to the fuselage.

Modernization & Modification Program - ERCIYES (C-130)

Avionics modernization of 13 TuAF C-130 aircraft (seven C-130E and six C-130B). The scope of Erciyes Program:

• Making the A/C ready for international flight rules like GATM, RVSM,
• Analog to Glass Cockpit,
• Unique and expendable, Mission Computer,
• Night Vision Goggle Compatible Lighting System,
• Design, manufacture and deliver the System Integration Laboratory after prototyping,
• Design, manufacture and deliver the Ground Mission Planning system after prototyping.

TAI will not only complete the modernization of two prototype aircraft, but also will oversee the modernization of the remaining 11 aircraft at TuAF 2nd Air Supply and Maintenance Center. TAI will also provide Integrated Logistics Support for the new systems.

The flight safety of the aircraft, which will be compatible with international flight rules, will be increased as well. The aircraft will also become long-term supportable with the modernized systems.
