Turkey's Futuristic Aircraft
The TF-X is a fifth-generation fighter that looks similar to Lockheed Martin's F-35 Lightning II. The indigenous aircraft will eventually replace the Turkish Air Force's F-16 fighters, which are to be phased out by the 2030s.
The TF-X is a twin-engine multi-role aircraft designed primarily for air-to-air missions, but it could also be employed for air-to-ground missions.
Turkey's fifth-generation stealth fighter, TF-X, is likely to make its first flight in the next three years. A regional military power, Ankara desperately needs an advanced fighter jet and TF-X, projected as a Turkish equivalent of the US F-35, is expected to fulfill that need.
