Two KAAN prototypes set to fly by year-end
Türkiye’s KAAN fighter program has entered a new testing phase after the P1 prototype began taxi trials on July 31 ahead of its planned maiden flight.
Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) released footage showing the aircraft moving under its own power on the runway.
Its first flight is planned within the next two months, while the P2 prototype is expected to take to the skies by the end of the year.
The company aims to have both aircraft conducting flight tests by the end of 2026. The tests will cover the aircraft’s performance, avionics and mission systems.
