[1] 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.

[2] 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.
