TF35000
Turbofan Engine
The TF35000 Turbofan Engine is being developed in partnership with TRMOTOR under the auspices of the Secretariat of Defence Industries for a national military turbofan engine that will produce 35,000 lbf thrust required to power the National Fighter Aircraft (KAAN). The TF35000 is one of Türkiye's most significant breakthroughs in aviation engines.
Through its efforts in gas turbine engine technologies, TEI has made significant gains in engine components, advanced material technologies, test infrastructures, and production capabilities. The TF35000 is designed to be Türkiye's indigenous and national turbofan engine with the highest thrust and is being developed to meet the requirements of the 5th generation fighter aircraft.
The TF35000 will utilize high-temperature-resistant super alloys, advanced coating, and cooling technologies. With its unique design, the engine will have the features to support KAAN's 5th generation requirements and will also provide the required superior performance and durability. The TF35000 will produce high thrust with low fuel consumption and extended range capability. An ecosystem is being established to support the engine development process's design, production, and testing phases.
Thanks to this engine, our country will gain the competence to develop a high-tech indigenous engine required by 5th-generation fighter aircraft.
The TF35000 will provide important support to Türkiye's strategy to eliminate foreign dependence in the defense industry and also reinforce Türkiye's strong position in the global aviation market.
