Giving the call code of the Anka-3 to B-13, for example, would be a very elegant reference to the past.

"By the way, it took a while for ANKA-III, whose photo we shared, to come to your attention due to the difficulties in its production with its delta wing geometry, which does not have a vertical surface, but I want you to know that this appearance contains technological secrets that will give it an edge over all its competitors.
"Secret" for now..."

-Murat Özpala CAT-1 test pilot of Hürkuş
Nearly there 🚬

On a serious note, getting this drone flying will be an incredible feather on TAI's cap. There isn't even a handful of planes/drones like this right now, unless I'm forgetting some.

No, American X-47 was experimental, France Neuron the same. Some reason they abandoned the projects, why i don't now. Insteed of triangle drone they chose MQ-25.

that thing will never be operational, to big and heavy drone. It have 20 meter wingspan...

look to ANKA-3

This is not the real scale, I guess. This is a scale model developed mainly for testing purposes. The final 1:1 scale model has not yet been built. When I first announced this UCAV on this forum, I said it would be the size of a sports plane. Therefore, I think there is no point in making scale comparisons for now.

This was the one I saw (and proportions seem OK to me). Maybe we can expect a bigger version after TEI progresses with their engine projects

Still it will be not big like Russian drone, we will not have the engine to fly ANKA-3 :LOL: if it is big like that.

I doubt it, unless we can get our hands on an engine stronger than the one they used on X-47B it'll be smaller than that. This already seems like it has 12-14 meters of wingspan, I think that's the most we're getting. But, of course this is just my speculation.

Baykar believes KE will be superior to F35 in the future. Maybe TAI can help Baykar with some expertise. We need to use TAIs ressources as efficiently as possible to make sure that Anka 3, Hurjet and TF-X becomes successes.
with that engine and questinoable counter measure systems I doubt that Its power output is nothing near F35
