Kale Jet Develops New Biga Jet Engine
A new jet engine project named Biga appeared in Kale Jet Engines’ recent trademark application document.
Kale Group company Kale Arge’s name was recently changed to Kale Jet Engines. The company applied to the Capital Markets Board (CMB) and published information about the company’sits works. The document stated that the Biga project was started in 2024 under the management of the Secretariat of Defence Industries (SSB).
The document added that Kale Jet Engines had started the production of the Arat engine’s prototypes for tests.
There is no information regarding what type of jet engine Biga will be, but knowing the aim for engines with lower Thrust-Specific Fuel Consumption (TSFC) to improve the range, it might be a turbofan engine. Long-range cruise missiles like Tomahawk and Taurus KEPD-350 use turbofan engines with significantly lower fuel consumption than turbojet engines of the same size.
So far, the company has produced the KTJ-3200, KTJ-1750, and KTJ-3700 turbojet engines for ROKETSAN’s various cruise missiles, all of which have been tested in firing trials. The KTJ-1750 is used on the ÇAKIR compact cruise missile, while KTJ-3200’sthe test was performed with the land-based ATMACA anti-ship missile. The recent KTJ-3700 is used for the ATMACA UM (KARA ATMACA) ground-launched cruise missile.
