The TEI-TF6000 is an indigenously developed turbofan engine by Tusaş Engine Industries (TEI), designed to deliver 6,000 pounds-force (26.7 kN) of thrust. The engine is primarily intended for use in Turkish unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), advanced trainer aircraft, and light combat aircraft. The TF6000 forms part of Turkey's broader initiative for self-sufficiency in advanced defense technologies.




Design and Development


The TEI-TF6000 project was initiated by TEI to create a domestically produced engine to power both unmanned and light combat platforms. It first ran on March 9, 2024, marking a significant milestone in Turkey's aerospace engine capabilities. This engine also serves as a technological stepping stone for future projects, including a variant with afterburner capability, known as the TF10000.
The TF6000 is expected to fulfill various roles in Turkey's military, supporting advanced unmanned systems like the Bayraktar Kızılelma and the TAI Anka-3. TEI's development process for the TF6000 included advanced material engineering, fuel efficiency optimization, and modular design.
