TEI-TF10000 Turbofan Engine

The TEI-TF10000 turbofan engine is the first indigenous turbofan engine developed by TUSAŞ Engine Industries Inc. (TEI) in alignment with Türkiye’s national aerospace objectives. Capable of generating 10,000 lbf thrust with afterburner and 6,000 lbf thrust in dry operation, this engine represents a strategic step toward building technological expertise for National Combat Aircraft KAAN’s propulsion system. The project also aims to establish an infrastructure capable of powering numerous manned and unmanned aerial platforms.

The TEI-TF10000 is the first indigenous afterburning turbofan engine to be developed in Türkiye. Within this scope, not only the engine’s core components but also its accessories and subsystems will be developed in collaboration with local companies. The project will make significant contributions to enhancing domestic engineering capabilities, expanding technical knowledge, and cultivating qualified human resources both within the prime contractor TEI and its subcontractors. The TEI-TF10000 is an engineering project designed to elevate Türkiye’s engine development capabilities to an advanced level.
