European engine-maker Eurojet Turbo may find a role in powering what would become Turkey's first indigenous fighter jet, industry sources and analysts said.

Turkey's top procurement panel, the Defense Industry Executive Committee, decided Jan. 7 to move on to the "pre-design" phase in the country's bid to build an indigenous fighter jet.

On Jan. 20, defense electronics specialist Aselsan, Turkey's largest defense company, and Eurojet announced they had signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU).

"The intended collaboration is primarily based on the EJ200 engine, which is currently employed on the Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jet and may find application in the Turkish TFX program. The parties have also agreed to explore further opportunities targeting the global market."
