Footages of TB-3's 2nd and 3rd take-off and landing tests on TCG Anadolu. Probably, flight hours will exceed 1,000 hours by November. The program is progressing with extraordinary success, and tests with actual mission payloads may not be too far away. In the meantime, Let's see when GA-ASI...

Kale Group Deputy Chairman Osman Okyay said in a press interview *** that the Arat engine could power some specific drones in the future as a multi-start function and long-lasting engine, which I interpreted as a study that was ongoing in the background. Kale has a very advanced test...

If I am not mistaken, a more detailed presentation of this ilustration is presented in the 'Türkiye Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Roadmap 2011-2030' document. So this roadmap is based on TAI's corporate strategy, which dates back maybe 15 years. Although there have been many differences in some areas...

ARAT is coming.

TB-3's engine configuration; PD170/180ST has a maximum take-off power under 200shp, while the 222ST has a maximum take-off power of 222hp as future option. Meanwhile, GA-ASI uses a 450-horsepower Rolls Royce turboprop engine in its system. Naturally, the maximum take-off weight of the rival...

Retired Admiral Cihat Yaycı said that he knew that a naval variant of the KAAN, capable of vertical landing, being worked on to be evaluated in the next period. He starts the sentence like a wish, but he emphasizes several times that he knows it. Even if it's an evaluation phase right now, it's...

Footage from the 58th test flight has been uploaded on youtube. Cem Karaca in the back was one of the best choices to celebrate this historic achievement. (Aircrafts and tests aside, TCG Anadolu is poetically beautiful :))

For KE, the proper ship is only the beginning of the story. A never-ending field of development has been opened, where even a pause for a while will cost the entire competitive edge. Not only Baykar but all domestic players in this game are part of the same team. Maybe it doesn't have much...

1W A-size passive directional sonobuoys packing under 10kg while NATO standard G-size is under 6kg., but I think the sonobuoys dispenser pod for UAVs and the sonobuoy monitoring and control system (SMCS) are the main weights here. The weight of the SDS pod using in the MQ9B is around 130 kg. A...

There must be very different dynamics and needs with KE or other fast aircrafts with turbofans, but TB-3 is a system where flight endurance is the main criterion. The specifications on the official website state +21 hours, but this will definitely reach around 24 hours with engine, structural...

There is second aircraft lift on the starboard side, which capable of lifting and lowering the F-35B.

Indigenous engine, indigenous flight control system, indigenously designed airframe, indigenous munitions, indigenous avionics and related payloads, indigenous system engineering. This makes the significance of this achievement even more profound.

Congratulatory message from Haluk Görgün, President of SSB: Bayraktar TB-3 made world record as the first UCAV, capable of both taking off and landing from a ship with a short runway! This success is an indicator not only of the Turkish defense industry, but also of our pionering in the global...

Unless I miscalculated, TB-3 completed its first landing test just below 100 meters. I know the Navy is planning to procure more than 30.

Well, 500kg(1100lbs) payload is very ambitious, the helicopter really has to grow and get much heavier if this payload range is targeted. Probably one of the most important requirements in naval rotary-wing drone will be flight endurance, keeping this payload in the air for a few hours, being...

The F-4 is truly a timeless design, whether you are interested in aviation or not, its stance in the skies is very striking. It always creates unforgettable shots if there are good aviation photographers in a well planned organization.

Through James Bird's lens: The 50th anniversary paint scheme of the F-4E has already attracted the admiration of many aviation photographers. Of course, the low valley crossing, which was done in a way to give the best photo to the audience, played a big role in this...
