Kenkoaerospace announced on the 21st that it has signed a contract to supply aircraft structural components for the Turkish "HURJET Training Jet Project."

The HURJET project is a supersonic advanced trainer jet program led by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) and is a core defense initiative to secure next-generation trainer and light attack aircraft for the Turkish Air Force. Under the agreement, Kenkoaerospace will supply all 34 types of machined aircraft structural components, a total of 27 aircraft sets, to TAI from this year through 2028.

The company highlighted that being entrusted as a supplier of these machined components—which require strict quality standards for aircraft manufacturing—once again demonstrates Kenkoaerospace's unrivaled machining technology and technical competitiveness. In addition, the company plans to actively seek further collaboration opportunities with other aircraft manufacturers not only in Türkiye but also internationally.

TAI, founded in 1973, is Türkiye's leading state-owned aerospace and defense company, headquartered and operating production facilities near Ankara (Kahramankazan). As Türkiye's representative aerospace technology company, TAI covers the design, development, manufacturing, integration, modernization, and MRO (maintenance, repair, and overhaul) of aerospace systems, offering a diverse range of products including aircraft, helicopters, satellites, and UAVs.

Mingyu Lee, CEO of Kenkoaerospace, stated, "Participating in the HURJET project is a significant opportunity to expand our capabilities in precision machining and quality control of aircraft structural components into the global aerospace and defense market. We will further strengthen our collaboration with TAI through thorough quality management and reliable supply, and continue to expand our presence in the global aerospace and defense industry."
