The TF-10000 is a Turkish 10,000 lbs turbofan engine based on TEI-TF6000 and developed by the Tusaş Engine Industries. The main goal of the project is gaining experience for the development of an advanced combat aircraft-capable engine, TEI-TF35000 - which will be the main engine for Kaan aircraft - and an indigenous engine for light combat aircraft. It is firstly introduced in 12 December 2022 and it is stated by Mahmut Akşit that TF10000 maybe used for Bayraktar Kızılelma.
