Turkish Aerospace Industries (TUSAŞ) shared footage on social media showing the new prototype of the KAAN national combat aircraft.
The prototype, still without its final paint, was seen moving on the runway, indicating that the aircraft has started pre-flight taxi tests as part of ground testing.
KAAN's first prototype made its maiden flight in 2024. Following that phase, the project continues its testing and development process with the P1 and P2 prototypes, which feature a much more advanced system architecture.
