Programme Overview
a national combat-aircraft programme (formerly a national combat-aircraft programme/MMU - Milli Muharip Ucak) is Turkey's indigenous fifth-generation stealth fighter aircraft, developed by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI/a major Turkish aerospace producer). The programme represents Turkey's strategic objective for self-sufficiency in advanced combat aircraft.
a national combat-aircraft programme embodies Turkey's "Yerli ve Milli" (Domestic and National) defence industry philosophy, aiming to reduce dependency on foreign suppliers and establish Turkey as a leading aerospace nation.

Belvyon Contribution
VELON-G™ metamaterial canopy technology for a national combat-aircraft programme
VELON-G™
Graphene-ITO Metamaterial Canopy
Belvyon's VELON-G™ metamaterial canopy technology addresses a national combat-aircraft programme's requirement for advanced electromagnetic signature management while maintaining the optical transparency essential for pilot situational awareness in a 5th generation stealth fighter.
VELON-G™ aligns with Turkey's "Yerli ve Milli" philosophy by providing an ITAR-free alternative to US-controlled canopy technologies, enabling programme independence.

Belvyon Value Proposition
Why VELON-G™ aligns with Turkey's strategic defence objectives
Yerli ve Milli Alignment
ITAR-free UK origin supports Turkey's "Domestic and National" defence industry philosophy by eliminating dependency on US-controlled technologies.
Electromagnetic Signature Management
-13.3 dB W-band attenuation reduces cockpit contribution to overall aircraft radar cross-section, critical for 5th generation stealth requirements.
ITAR-Free Alternative
UK-developed technology provides a strategic alternative to US-controlled canopy technologies, ensuring programme continuity without export restriction risks.
Turkish Industry Relationships
Existing validation relationship with a major Turkish defence producer demonstrates proven ability to work within Turkish defence industry ecosystem and regulatory framework.
Proven Technology Maturity
ISS/JAXA-Kibo validated technology (Experiment ID 8071) demonstrates performance in extreme operational environments.
Maintained Optical Performance
92.5% optical transparency preserves pilot situational awareness and HUD/HMD compatibility essential for combat effectiveness.
