:) Perhaps that source was referring to the fact that the design was frozen for GTU-0/P0. This doesn't necessarily mean CDR for KAAN is done.

CDR is a formal process. There isn't a golden rule that dictates that you should absolutely, under all circumstances, complete design activities beforehand. It is also worth mentioning that TAI took an experimental approach with this aircraft (which isn't surprising). An identical developmental...

Prepping for assembly

Seems to be a good interview. An hour long video covering projects from ATAK-II to KAAN. Worth watching perhaps. Grab some popcorn.

Welcome to the forum.

As per Temel Kotil, there are currently two KAAN prototypes in production. I'm guessing one of them being P1 (flying prototype), and the other one being the P2 (static prototype). Or vice-versa. We should soon learn more about them in due course.

ANKA-III carrying a SOM and Super Şimşek KAAN's cockpit on display

I know what you are referring to. But like I said... There currently are, in the short term at least, no plans to move the vertical stabilizers to the side booms.

No, it was done to manage RCS in fact. Currently, the plan is to keep them as they are. We will see what TAI comes up with in the not too distant future.

TAI General Manager Kotil: "We signed a contract with the Presidency of Defense Industries for the General Directorate of Forestry. We are making 8 of these. They carry 4 tons of water. Therefore, it will be activated in 2026 against forest fires. In 2025, our ATAK-2 will be activated. 3 ATAK-...

CAT-1 Test Pilot Murat Özpala -I did a test & evaluation flight in KAAN's engineering simulator today. -It has the most comfortable and spacious cockpit I have flown in my entire life… It's literally a "wheelhouse".

-Baykar has completed the contract process with the State of Kuwait regarding the export of TB-2 drones. -The UAV broke the record for the longest flight time by staying in the air for 27 hours and 3 minutes in desert conditions in 2019.

KAAN'S ENGINEERING SIMULATOR Test Pilot Gökhan Bayramoğlu: "For us, the engineering part of the simulator is very important. Because as engineers, we will try to capture as much as possible in the first flight by testing the data that our team has designed, designed and expected to see in...

It is important not to confuse access hatches with IWB's.
