Any updated info as to when we plan to place our first object into orbit, I will be much more excited about it than watching somebody else run a show.

Can't see Maldives ? Because the largest of their islands can barely house a landing strip, but they have a name in its place.

Welcome aboard Maldives

I guess it should be partially cloudy at worst to be considered a good weather for a first flight so no luck in the next 5 days I guess. TAI Campus 5 day weather forecast

Probably the first flight date of Kaan will be the last time a date is given for a flight of a plane as this is actually an iconic moment in the progression of Turkish industry. After this every new launch will look smaller and even trivial.

If he were in China he would disappear for good. There was a lack of news coming from SAGE lately. I think he appeared in a YouTube video after he signed off.

Why should Baykar do anything about it while they already have access to the engine and their customers will demand the reliable Rotax instead of a lame effort engine copy. Even Rotax itself moved towards more powerful engines as the industry demands more power. And you have got the national TEI...

Localize Rotax engine, why would anyone do that. Baykar exports more than 80% of its products and you want them to localize Rotax. While also there is not guarantee that TB2 continues its success in an ever changing sector. Where does that inorganic growth come from, pulling strings to slow TAI...

That is just one experimental build. We don't know about the Chinese one and about the final configuration of Anka3 with domestics engine. Apart from air-frame specs the onboard systems load is critically important. Sensors , comms, self defense, stealth level, maneuver efficiency all go into...

Our drop bombs can hit even moving targets.

Even a novice intern will know what it takes to be highly stealth so the state of things is only governed by the materials you have access to. I would say this picture will change dramatically when we have new engines. I would say a twin engine Anka4 will be a plane beyond tactical.

We don't know much about the drones in question do we, so how can we even compare them.

You design a plane around an engine, when the custom made TF6000 starts flying the looks of our drones will be different and it is only a couple of years away.

I wonder what makes a plane nuclear capable, is there a reliabiliy rating or what.

I came across to this video which touches upon the concept that I brought up. @Anmdt @Ravager

Akıncı-C with a pair of 950hp engines probably improved speed and payload capacity considerably. TR-Motor should start making turboprop engines suitable for heavy drone use.

Why go through the trouble of removing the canopy and making the air-frame a totally different one that needs to be optimized with its new shape. It is best to keep the aerodynamics of the airplane intact and just remove the ejection seat that is heavy and install communication equipment and...

A link to the live countdown timer is included in my signature section

You are keeping everything else intact and only making a new gearbox with 3 engine input, shouldn't be too hard to develop for the maker who already makes a twin engine gearbox. Acquiring this technology will be useful for more powerful machines in the future so it is very well worth investing in.

They will more likely than not make that engine at some point in time but priorities of development seem to keep it neglected for now. The more pressing matter is if the need for that power level engine can be satisfied somehow from Ukraine, from GE or by using a three engine setup. If the...
