Wouldn't Aksungur be more logical for MIT? With longer endurance.

Higher altitude and higher speed is probably more valuable.

 

[Huelague]

The serial production variant is much more handsome and several hundred kg lighter than prototypes. Sonobuoy pods will be integrated for Navy's Aksungur.

Bro, do they change random shape?

Bro, do they change random shape?

A few design change and weight reduction were done for mass production variant bro.

I see that TAI still isn't done with this aircraft and they are still developing it.

Any possibility of Aksungur with motorsich turboprop engines?

Officially they both have 40k ft. max altitude. But not sure payload affects this. And I am not sure speed really matters for MIT. They would use that for observation and intelligence gathering and I assume endurance would be more valuable.

 

[Ecderha]

First with cruisemissiles and air to air missiles. Beside that first AESA radar....


Akinci will be first in his kind.

I thought that america is FIRST.
hmmm

When you make OWN platform especially for military there are no such thing "finished product".
They Just keep adding idea to platform, analyzing how it behave, building knowlege and according to build plan they prepare some prodcut numbers when TR army request them

It's not just about endurance hours. The role of AKINCI, which will be in MIT's inventory, will most likely be ELINT, COMINT. Wider frequencies mean more power emissions.

2x170Hp	250 kW
2x450Hp	661 kW
2x750Hp	1103 kW

Aksungur
Sinyal İstihbaratı Görevi
150 kg Faydalı Yük ile
35 kft'te 24 saat

Sigint mission performance
with 150 kg payload
@ 35 kft is 24 hours

It's easy to spot the difference from the wing root fairing.

that makes sense

What about timed neutralization without requestion from Air Force?

Might be, but the current structures seem working as we saw last couple of months in Syria and Iraq.

I think it needs fire control radar to fire them

What is the hard thing about integrating cruise missiles to UCAVs btw? Does it require a specific avionic technology?

What is the hard thing about integrating cruise missiles to UCAVs btw? Does it require a specific avionic technology?

Because the turbine engine is started by the ram air coming through its inlet the plane has to be fast enough to provide enough pressure. Akıncı tops at 362 km/h.

 

[Siper>MMU]

What is the hard thing about integrating cruise missiles to UCAVs btw? Does it require a specific avionic technology?

There is a couple issues about it.

Usually cruise missile engines start up by blowing air coming from speed. But Akıncı is quite slow compared to an F-16. Speed is not enough for turning the engine fan and start it.

Another issue is gliding. SOM travels like 80kms with gliding only. Slower launch speed shortens the gliding range. Maybe even slow enough for missile to "stall".
