The Turkish military's headquarters is preparing to place its first orders for indigenous Turkish regional jets that are currently under construction, defense procurement officials have said.
 

When one types the words ?Erdo?an + indigenous + national + aircraft? in Turkish Google, it will produce 1.38 million results. Replace the word ?Erdo?an? with ?Davuto?lu? you will get a more modest 890,000 results. When President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an or Prime Minister Ahmet Davuto?lu mentions an ?indigenous? or ?national aircraft,?

The TRJet program that plans to build Turkey's first indigenous regional jet will eventually create up to 4,000 qualified, high value jobs in aviation industry.

Turkey proudly announced plans in June to design, develop and produce an indigenous Turkish regional jet, a first time in the country?s history, but aviation experts and defense industry are now questioning the first Turkish jet?s ?Turkishness.?

The Turkish government has introduced a national airplane construction project entitled "A Turk in the sky," with jets completely designed and built by Turkish engineers and flying as soon as 2019. 

Defense Industry Executive Committee may select Dornier as primary model for the planned Turkish regional jet.
