Speaking at the TEKNOFEST Southeast technology festival on 2 October, Turkish Aerospace (TUSA\u015e) general manager Mehmet Demiro\u011flu said all system checks on the first KAAN prototype, P1, have been completed and that it should take to the air within a few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>The second prototype, P2, is not far behind. Demiro\u011flu said it has already completed slow taxi tests and will follow P1 into the air, before the end of 2026 if nothing slips.<\/p>\n<p>For a programme that flew a much rougher prototype in February 2024 and has spent the time since building the real thing, that is the moment KAAN stops being a demonstrator and starts being a fighter.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"background:#f4f6f9;border:1px solid #e2e7ee;padding:18px 22px;margin:22px 0 26px\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-weight:700;color:#0d1117\">Quick Facts<\/p><ul style=\"margin:0;padding-left:18px\"><li style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Aircraft:<\/strong> TUSA\u015e KAAN fifth-generation fighter<\/li><li style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>P1:<\/strong> All system checks completed; first flight expected within weeks<\/li><li style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>P2:<\/strong> In assembly and test; slow taxi tests done; to fly after P1<\/li><li style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Earlier milestone:<\/strong> The first flying prototype flew for 13 minutes on 21 February 2024<\/li><li style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Engines:<\/strong> Prototypes use two General Electric F110 engines<\/li><li style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Said by:<\/strong> Mehmet Demiro\u011flu, TUSA\u015e general manager<\/li><li style=\"margin:4px 0\"><strong>Where:<\/strong> TEKNOFEST Southeast, 2 October 2026, reported by Anadolu Agency<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Why P1 matters<\/h2>\n<p>The aircraft that flew in 2024 was an early prototype, built to prove that the basic design worked.

Turkey wants a domestic engine for production aircraft, and that remains the programme's biggest long-term risk.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, the US has cleared further F110 sales to Turkey, which keeps the prototypes and early production aircraft flying while the Turkish engine is developed.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Building the factory around it<\/h2>\n<p>Demiro\u011flu also said TUSA\u015e is restructuring its production model to move up to 70% of parts and assembly work to subcontractors, a necessary step if KAAN is to be built at the rate the Turkish Air Force and potential export customers want.<\/p>\n<p>Indonesia has signed for KAAN, and Egypt has been discussing joining the programme. For the <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/air-forces\/turkish-air-force\/\">Turkish Air Force<\/a>, which was removed from the F-35 programme in 2019, KAAN is the only realistic route to a home-built fifth-generation fighter. The next few weeks will show how close that route really is.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;margin:24px 0\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZhgCXY1E5vs\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n<p><em>Sources: Anadolu Agency, anews, ADDR Magazine, Turkish Aerospace<\/em><\/p>\n<!-- mfsh:bottom -->\n\n<button type=\"button\" class=\"mfsh-trigger mfsh-bottom\" data-mfsh-placement=\"bottom\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\"><svg><use href=\"#mfsh-i-share\"\/><\/svg>Share this story<\/button>\n\n<!-- \/mfsh:bottom -->\n\n<style>.mfq{margin:34px 0 8px}.mfq h2{font:26px\/1.3 \"Gilroy semiBold\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#0d1117;padding-top:22px;margin:0 0 6px}.mfq .qa details{border-top:1px solid #5C91FF;margin:0;padding:0}.mfq .qa details:last-of-type{border-bottom:1px solid #e2e7ee}.mfq .qa summary{cursor:pointer;list-style:none;display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;gap:16px;padding:22px 26px;font:18px\/1.7 \"Gilroy semiBold\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#0d1117}.mfq .qa summary::-webkit-details-marker{display:none}.mfq .qa summary::after{content:\"+\";font:24px Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#3568e0;flex:0 0 auto}.mfq .qa details[open] summary::after{content:\"\\2013\"}.mfq .qa details:hover summary{color:#3568e0}.mfq .qa .a{font:16px\/1.7 \"Gilroy regular\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#454e5e;padding:0 26px 24px}.mfq .qa .a a{color:#3568e0}@media(max-width:680px){.mfq .qa summary{padding:18px 14px;font-size:17px}.mfq .qa .a{padding:0 14px 20px}}<\/style>\n\n\n<section class=\"mfq\"><h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2><div class=\"qa\"><details open><summary>When will the KAAN P1 prototype fly?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">Turkish Aerospace general manager Mehmet Demiro\u011flu said on 2 October 2026 that all system checks on KAAN P1 have been completed and that it should make its first flight within a few weeks.<\/div><\/details><details><summary>Has the KAAN fighter flown before?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">Yes.
