Summary/Abstract: Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk has taken some steps to make an attempt in technical sense in the newly established Republic. The most important of these steps is the establishment of the Turkish Tayyare Society with the password of the future sky and the opening of the Kayseri Aircraft Factory immediately afterwards. Because a state that is strongly supported by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk's statism principle should have a sound economy. The contract for the establishment of an aircraft and aircraft engine plant in Kayseri was signed between the Turkish Government and the German firm of Junkers on August 15, 1925. The establishment of this plant in Kayseri, the strategic location of an plain city surrounded by mountains and the presence of a large and flat area in the southern part of the city, which is important for aviation at first, is an important factor.
