Authentic or Existing Design?

Hello all,

The below image was published by Turkish Aeronautical Association as an indigenous light sports aircraft design, designated “Turkkusu”.

However, I seriously suspect its authenticity. I have a feeling/bias that it might be a foreign design, maybe license produced one.

Any ideas? Many thanks in advance

I think this is the latest incarnation, the Blackshape Prime

Thanks a lot DeskPilot, much appreciated.

There were rumors that the organization bought a design from Germany. It seems that the company was later sold to a German investor – or that’s the way I understood. Let’s see if they can produce it.

Cheers

Certainly bears an uncanny resemblance.

Nice though

Originally called the Millennium Master but then the company was sold on. Can’t remember the new name
