The THK-5 was a twin-engine airplane created by Stanisław Rogalski and constructed in Turkey in 1945, primarily serving as an air ambulance. This aircraft featured a traditional low-wing cantilever monoplane design, with an all-wooden structure. Its tailwheel landing gear had main units that retracted into the engine nacelles mounted on the wings. The THK-5 was capable of accommodating two stretchers along with a medical attendant. Subsequently, a six-seat utility transport variant called the THK-5A entered production, followed by an enhanced model of the 5A, known as the THK-10, of which three units were built. One unit was exported and sold to Denmark.

Following the acquisition of THK by MKEK, this design was chosen for further development. Although it was assigned the designation MKEK-5, no additional progress was made on this project.
