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

    Baykar Savunma internet sitesi Right when I was trying to get the link from a news site I have noticed that Baykar website already posted the payload capacity as 150kg. No wonder TB2s are working wonders lately. They also posted engine power as 100hp.

    It maybe a good idea to re-engine Herons but it is not a good idea to develop en engine to re-engine the half dozen (?) Herons alone. I would guess the TB2s will be fitted with PG115 down the road if not have been fitted already. TB2s fitted with a 115hp engine instead of 100hp is probably what...

    There is this mystery with TB2 about what engine it is using. There is a TEI engine with the name PG115 which seems to be custom made for TB2. So is TB2 still using Rotax engines or is it using this TEI engine which had 15.000 flight hours under its belt a year ago.

    Every UAV platform has its usage and its price. You don't want to risk a more expensive Aksungur if you can do the job with a more affordable TB2. Also logistics must be different. TB2 is 12 meters wide where Aksungur is 24 meters. Aksungur will do coastal surveillance best among others as it...

    How Rolls-Royce is powering the Tempest fighter jet

    It is somebody else's program. Looking at how US has brought out their 6th generation fighter prototype just recently it is evident that the development cycles of new fighter jets or any military program for that matter is way shorter than what it was like just 20 years ago. US did their...

    Seems like if you have prior data from a similar project you can extrapolate and interpolate to incorporate with new input and get to a respectably accurate result of calculation. If you can use somebody else's data you can probably get away with minimal experimentation.

    This Hürjet looks sleeker than the full size mock-up which had some misaligned lines.

    Cezeri made its first flight

    People think that ordinary road car drivers will drive flying cars but current aviation laws dictate the vehicle to be driven/piloted by trained pilots. So not for everyone. The only exception is in the US where you can fly without a license over scarcely populated areas with a small one person...

    Cezeri made its first flight

    Flying car developers develop their designs for the civilian market. Mainly for urban air taxi operations rather then personal ownership. However taking advantage of the slow down caused by the pandemic US Army started the Agility Prime program where developers get to present their designs and...

    Elon Musk is such a sucker. He can't wrap his head around flying car concepts. He once said "everytime I think about it my mind wants to blow". What he is talking about is an "electric, supersonic, vertical take of and landing aircraft". He says it has to be 70% battery to have a reasonable...

    Cezeri made its first flight

    That's OK as everyone else does the same thing. They wlli fly it manned if they trust it enough to do so going forward. But we have seen them crash after many dozens of successful flights. Hoversurf crashed a couple months ago. Even Boeing's design crashed once.

    There are hundreds of designs out there, over 300 designs to be more precise. Türkiye deserves to sport better designs.

    You can fly anything if you throw money at it. Cezeri is a mediocre design possibly made by a child.

    I'm curious whether the performance of a rocket can be tested/verified by calculation alone without actually test firing one. I had read that airplane makers can predict their new planes' performance down to 1% variation level. What do you guys think?
