The British company\u2019s proposal involved a production unit in Turkey to manufacture engines for the TF-X, as well as for helicopters, tanks and missiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A year before that, in October 2015, a memorandum of understanding was signed between Turkey and Rolls-Royce for technological know-how and a production unit. Under the plan, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/industry\/2015\/10\/11\/rolls-royce-to-open-tech-center-in-turkey\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" style=\"\" target=\"_blank\">Rolls-Royce would launch<\/a> an advanced manufacturing and technology center in Turkey \u2015 the company\u2019s eighth such unit worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier this year the Turkish government earmarked an initial investment of 4.817 billion Turkish liras (U.S. $1.041 billion) on the conceptual design phase of the TF-X program. The investment plan has been taken under a government incentive scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turkey wants to build the TF-X with know-how from BAE Systems. In January 2017, Britain and Turkey signed a deal worth more than \u00a3100 million (U.S. $133 million) to develop the Turkish fighter jet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Selecting an engine is presently viewed as the most critical stage of the TF-X
