APU for Turkey’s TF-X

Engine maker TRMotor has signed a deal with Turkish Aerospace Industries, prime contractor of the Turkish TF-X programme, to develop an auxiliary power unit and an air turbine start system for the country’s first indigenous fighter. First flight of the TF-X was to be in 2023, but that has since been revised, with the aircraft now expected to fly in 2025-2026. There are speculations that the Turkish and Pakistani Governments are discussing possible collaboration on this 5th generation fighter aircraft.
