The Hürjet, a domestically developed jet trainer aircraft by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI), has successfully completed its first supersonic flight.

The jet took off from the capital Ankara's Mürted Airport at 9:45 a.m. on Oct. 21 and reached speeds exceeding Mach 1 (the speed of sound) during the test.
