TAI HURJET

Interesting. Makes you wish the MAKO had been built... (preferably with EJ200)

Range could turn out to be a decider here. The C-101 had an unusual requirement to reach the Canary Islands from the mainland without tanker support. Spain has since acquired greater refueling capacity (3x MRTT plus A400M instead of 2x707), but the ability might still count as a favourable factor. On that basis, the M-346 and T-7 could possibly have an edge over the other two (highest fuel fractions). Not sure the T-50 even has an operational refueling capability, although development of a probe/drogue installation has been contracted.

Intriguingly, Hurjet has more range than the T-50 which shares similar specs. This design choice results in less payload though.

Well, what an interesting news. No need to have expectations, but it's still interesting. Egypt had previously shown interest in local production of KAI's T-50
HÜRJET changed its route to its first international flight:
• HÜRJET will participate in the Egypt International Airshow on 3-5 September and will showcase its skills with a flight show.
• Egypt is interested in HÜRJET. At the airshow, meetings will be held with regional countries, especially Egypt, regarding HÜRJET and other TAI products.
