    TR UAV/UCAV Programs | Anka - series | Kızılelma | TB - series

    Kızılelma started with cheaper engines to emerge as an affordable piece of equipment however its evolving capabilities justify a bigger price and a more expensive engine along with it. TF10000 will probably move the performance needle up like 10% which will give the bare minimum it needs. Moving...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    F35 is powered by a single engine that runs hot. This engine had wear problems because of this. On the other hand Kaan is powered by twin engines which don't have to run that hot as their combined power is more than enough to power the plane. As both the plane and the engine are still in...

    Kaan will probably have a smaller infrared visibility than the F35 fortunately

    A second use for Skydagger technology can be civilian drones for industrial and recreational use. As this brand does innovation like target locking which the market dominating Chinese DJI Company is known for. I don't expect STM to target the civilian market but Skydagger surely fit the role.

    TR Indigenously Made Firearms & Medium Calibre Weapons

    FRT forced reset trigger for rapid firing is different from the notorious auto sears. It is an aftermarket modified trigger and they made some for Canik pistols. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto_sear 8

    TR Attack & Utility Helicopter Programs

    Unlike passenger planes helicopters mostly serve inside the jurisdiction of a single country and don't travel from country to country so it is easier for a foreign user to accept Gökbey by just trusting the engineering quality of Turkish aerospace products and the flight hours under their belt.
