Microtecnica wins Turkish trainer work
Microtecnica on Friday announced it has won a contract from Turkish Aerospace Industries Inc. to supply the environmental control system for the company’s two-seat trainer aircraft, the Hurkus.
Microtecnica, which has an office in Wichita, is an international aerospace equipment company headquartered in Turin, Italy.
The Hurkus is the first trainer aircraft designed and built in Turkey. It will be used primarily by the Turkish Air Force.
“The Hurkus is a landmark project for the Turkish Air Force and one that we are extremely proud to be involved in,” Duane Manning, Microtecnica’s business development manager for the Americas, said in a news release. “The award of the contract to handle the development of the entire environmental control system is a testament to Microtecnica’s experience in developing such flight-critical components.”
Manning is based in Wichita.
The amount of the Turkish contract was not released. Microtecnica in May announced it had won a $25 million contract for similar work on the Saab Gripen NG aircraft.
