The second prototype of the KAAN fighter jet was spotted at the TUSAŞ facilities, nearing the end of its assembly, in a photo shared by TSKGV on social media.
Turkish Armed Forces Foundation (TSKGV) shared an image from its visit to the TUSAŞ facilities to celebrate its 38th anniversary, in which the second prototype of KAAN has made its appearance.
The second prototype, also called P1, is seen to be nearing the completion of its assembly, judging from the picture.
Compared to the first prototype, the second prototype has a more mature design as it will be used in the more advanced phases of testing alongside the third prototype, which will not be far off in terms of arrival date. The P1 and P2 prototypes are scheduled to start their flight tests in the 2026 spring which is about two years after the maiden flight.
TUSAŞ published the dimensions of aircraft. It is understood that second prototype will be smaller than first one.
