The Hürjet Protocol was signed between the Presidency of Defence Industries (SSB) and the Turkish Air Force Command to meet the need for Jet training flights. In the statement made from SSB's official twitter account, “Hürjet Protocol was signed to meet the need for jet training flight between the Presidency of Defence Industries and the Turkish Air Force Command”.

The Turkish Aerospace Industries (TUSAŞ) started its project for the development of a jet engine training aircraft (Hürjet), which SSB and Air Forces Command secured with the protocol, in August 2017.  Hürjet will have two variants; jet training and armed version. Armed version will be used in air support missions and air combat training aircraft roles closer to F-16 aircraft.

The range of Hürjet is 2 thousand 592 km, the payload capacity will be 2 thousand 721 kg. The aircraft will be able to function in mild offensive operations and will be capable of refuelling in the air to provide consistent near-air support. The aircraft will go up to 1.2 Mach with a 17,000 pound propulsion engine and will rise to an altitude of 45,000 feet.
