The Trump administration has notified Congress of a more than $700 million sale of General Electric F110 turbofan engines for Ankara's TAI KAAN, clearing the single biggest technical hurdle facing Turkey's most ambitious defence programme.\n\nCongress has 15 days to introduce a resolution of disapproval \u2014 and some Democratic lawmakers, still angry over Turkey's S-400s, have objected. Few expect the deal to be blocked.\n\n\n<div style=\"background:#f5f5f5;padding:20px 24px;border-radius:8px;margin:20px 0 28px;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-weight:700;font-size:17px\">Quick Facts: KAAN Engine Deal<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin:0;padding-left:20px\">\n<li><strong>Engine:<\/strong> General Electric F110 turbofan<\/li>\n<li><strong>Deal value:<\/strong> More than $700 million (roughly 80 engines)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Aircraft:<\/strong> TAI KAAN (TF-X) fifth-generation fighter<\/li>\n<li><strong>Congressional review:<\/strong> 15 days from notification<\/li>\n<li><strong>Context:<\/strong> Timed ahead of NATO Ankara summit, 7\u20138 July 2026<\/li>\n<li><strong>F-35 status:<\/strong> Turkey remains excluded from the F-35 programme (separate issue)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">An Engine Turkey Cannot Build \u2014 Yet<\/h2>\n\nThe KAAN first flew in February 2024 on a pair of F110 engines \u2014 a proven powerplant that already drives the F-16, F-15K, and the UAE's F-16E\/F Block 60. But Turkey's long-term plan calls for a domestically developed TEI TF-35000 engine. That engine does not exist yet. Without the F110, the KAAN programme stalls on the runway.\n\nThe sale gives Turkey a bridge engine: enough F110s to power the initial production run of KAANs while TEI works on the indigenous alternative. It is a pragmatic move by both sides \u2014 Washington gets $700 million and tighter defence ties with a NATO ally sitting on the Black Sea; Ankara gets the powerplant it needs to keep its fighter programme on schedule.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px\"><img data-opt-id=1668721240  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:0e0_.b970\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/ge-f110-turbofan-engine-kaan.jpg\" alt=\"General Electric F110 turbofan engine\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:6px\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">The General Electric F110 turbofan \u2014 the engine that will power early-production KAAN fighters. USAF \/ Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">The F-35 Question Lingers<\/h2>\n\nTurkey was kicked out of the F-35 programme in 2019 after purchasing Russia's S-400 missile system. Washington said the two systems were incompatible \u2014 the S-400's radar could learn to track the F-35's stealth signature. Ankara called it extortion. The dispute has never been resolved.\n\nThe F110 sale is explicitly separated from the F-35 question. Administration officials have stressed that selling engines for Turkey's indigenous fighter does not imply any path back to the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter programme. But the timing \u2014 days before NATO's Ankara summit \u2014 is no accident. Washington wants something from Ankara at that table, and $700 million in jet engines is one way to get it.\n\n\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #1565c0;padding:20px 22px;margin:18px 0 24px;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7;display:flex;gap:20px;align-items:flex-start\"><div><em>&ldquo;The US government is prepared to license the export of these items, having taken into account political, military, economic, human rights, and arms control considerations.&rdquo;<\/em><div style=\"margin-top:10px;font-size:14px;color:#555\"><strong>U.S. State Department<\/strong> &mdash; notification to Congress, as reported by Reuters<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">What Comes Next<\/h2>\n\nIf Congress does not block the deal within 15 days, deliveries could begin as early as 2027. That timeline aligns with Turkey's plan to begin low-rate initial production of the KAAN, with Turkish Air Force operational capability targeted for the late 2020s.\n\nThe bigger question is whether Turkey can make the TF-35000 work. If it can, the KAAN becomes a fully sovereign fighter \u2014 exportable without American veto. If it cannot, Turkey will depend on GE engines indefinitely, giving Washington lasting leverage over Ankara's air power. Either way, the $700 million buys Turkey time. And in the defence business, time is the most expensive commodity of all.\n\n\n<div style=\"max-width:550px;margin:0 auto 28px\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?id=2069881877163602148&theme=light\" style=\"width:100%;height:400px;border:none;border-radius:12px;overflow:hidden\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\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\/VU80PvbklBw\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;border-radius:8px\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n<p><em>Sources: Reuters, Defense News, U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency, Anadolu Agency<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"background:#f0f4ff;border-left:4px solid #5C91FF;padding:16px 20px;margin:32px 0 8px;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-weight:600;color:#333\">Related Posts<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/turkey-f35-class-engine-kaan-tf35000\/\">Turkey Says It's Building an F-35-Class Jet Engine<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/turkey-kaan-anka-iii-manned-unmanned-teaming-world-defense-show-2026\/\">Turkey Pairs the KAAN With Two Robot Wingmen<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The engines Turkey needs for its fifth-generation fighter are on the way \u2014 and Washington just wrote the permission slip.
