Aiming to improve the defense industry, Turkey has decided to design and produce an aircraft

The Defense Industry Undersecretariat has ordered the Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) to design and manufacture an aircraft which will look like a jet, by 2008. It will be a basic training aircraft which will be produced completely in Turkey

Craving a larger share in the giant defense-industry pie, Turkey is planning to make a new venture into the sector. Turkey will design and manufacture an aircraft, which will be a 100 percent domestic production. The Defense Industry Undersecretariat (SSM) has ordered the Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) to design an aircraft which will look like a jet. The aircraft is expected to be ready by 2008. It's estimated that the world's armies will need some 800 units of a basic training aircraft in the following 12 to 15 years. The TAI intends to get a share of the international market with this aircraft.
