TAI Kaan, internally referred to as the TF (lit. 'Turkish Fighter') and MMU (Turkish: Milli Muharip Uçak, lit. 'National Combat Aircraft'), is a fifth-generation stealth, twin-engine, all-weather air superiority fighter currently under development by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI). Designed to replace the Turkish Air Force’s fleet of F-16 Fighting Falcons, the Kaan is also intended for export to international markets.
The prototype performed taxi and ground tests on 16 March 2023 and was ceremonially rolled out two days later. Its maiden flight, initially scheduled for 27 December 2023, one day before the maiden flight of the TAI Anka-3, was completed on 21 February 2024.
