    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...

    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.

    Also, making the aircraft navalized and strengthening the landing gear will significantly affect the total weight of the aircraft. At first, I had the idea that a maximum payload capacity approaching 12,000lbs would be possible, as the Koreans did with the F404, but now I think it will be below...

    Unfortunately, I think that this situation may have a negative reflection on the foreign market. For this very reason, we can say that developing LCA with the same engine configuration as AJT would not be the right approach in terms of domestic needs. For the foreign market, an FA-50 equivalent...
