We are working to reduce Türkiye’s dependence on foreign gas turbine technologies. Step by step, we are developing indigenous engine technologies that can be utilized in both aerospace and energy applications.
TMT, yerli mühendislik kabiliyetiyle geliştirilen gaz türbinli motorlarıyla performans, dayanıklılık ve güvenilirlik alanlarında fark oluşturmayı hedefler.
Our engines are developed with engineering solutions focused on high performance, efficiency, and durability, designed to serve both civilian and military applications.
The domestic development of critical engine technologies for the defense and energy sectors is our primary priority. TMT aims to carry out projects that will contribute to our nation’s technological infrastructure.
TMT Turbo Motor Technologies Inc. is a company that conducts definition and concept development studies focused on compressor and turbine design. Established with the philosophy of developing fully original design and analysis capabilities, the company is structured around turbomachinery technologies.
TMT has reached the technology demonstration level in the Gas Turbine Generator design it has been working on for the past two years. In this context, the first ignition (First Engine To Test) of the gas turbine that provides the generator’s power source was successfully performed on March 1, 2025, and the second test campaign was completed on May 3, 2025.
The core engine, projected to deliver 130 kW of power, is designed to operate with multiple fuel types such as natural gas and hydrogen. Thanks to its compact size and high portability, this system offers the flexibility to be utilized across various platforms and for diverse purposes.
Once the developed core engine reaches a proven technology readiness level, it will be adaptable not only for gas turbine generator applications but also for various engine architectures. In this way, turbojet, turbofan, turboprop (propeller aircraft), and turboshaft (helicopter) engines that can be used in air, land, and sea platforms will be developed from the same core.
Today, the products of domestic turbomachinery manufacturers—such as pumps, compressors, and turbines—are generally produced through copying or reverse-engineering methods and therefore lack original design and analysis capabilities.
TMT’s management team and its domestic and international chief engineering staff consist of experts with long-standing experience in advanced technology and product development in global companies.
In addition to its advanced turbomachinery expertise, the TMT team also benefits from R&D collaborations with universities, working in an academically supported and efficiency-focused manner.
As a result, with the support of domestic and national capital, the company maintains a structure that utilizes resources effectively and is capable of making fast and rational decisions.
Gas turbine engine technology is an advanced engineering field that requires high-temperature materials and precision manufacturing techniques. By strengthening domestic engineering and production capabilities in this area, TMT aims to establish a technological infrastructure capable of competing on an international scale.
The Gas Turbine Engine Roadmap studies were initiated within the scope of the 2019–2023 Strategic Plan published by the Presidency of Defense Industries (SSB). These efforts are carried out in line with the objective of “systematically minimizing foreign dependency by subjecting our national capabilities in the defense industry to a continuous development process.”
The applications referred to as gas-turbine-based power groups involve producing new engines by adding the necessary components around a gas turbine known as the “core engine.” For example, starting from a stationary power generator designed for energy production, the same core can later be adapted to produce turboshaft, turboprop, and turbojet engines that can be utilized in land, air, and sea vehicles within the transportation and defense sectors. In this sense, the fundamental principle is that all these engines share a similar core.
From this perspective, as TMT Power Systems, our approach is to develop technologies that begin with the core engine and then expand—starting primarily with energy generation applications and subsequently extending to other engine types.
In line with the growing global emphasis on environmental sustainability, we are also conducting studies on clean energy solutions based on hydrogen and natural gas. Our goal is to develop environmentally friendly technologies that reduce carbon emissions in energy production.
