Turkish Aerospace (TAI)/KAAN

The US State Department told Congress it intends to sell Turkey GE F110 engines worth more than $700 million for KAAN, opening a 15-day window for objections. Turkey wants about 80 more engines after 10 delivered in 2025, enough for testing and early production until its own engine is ready.

• Value: more than $700M; about 80 additional engines.
• 10 F110 engines were already delivered in 2025.
• Turkish TEI-TF35000 integration planned for 2032, full maturity by 2036.
• Turkey still seeks to return to the F-35 programme.
