"By the way, it took a while for ANKA-III, whose photo we shared, to come to your attention due to the difficulties in its production with its delta wing geometry, which does not have a vertical surface, but I want you to know that this appearance contains technological secrets that will give it an edge over all its competitors.
"Secret" for now..."

-Murat Özpala CAT-1 test pilot of Hürkuş

Nearly there

On a serious note, getting this drone flying will be an incredible feather on TAI's cap. There isn't even a handful of planes/drones like this right now, unless I'm forgetting some.

No, American X-47 was experimental, France Neuron the same. Some reason they abandoned the projects, why i don't now. Insteed of triangle drone they chose MQ-25.

Exactly! If Anka-3 goes all the way into production it'll be an incredible achievement.

You are forgetting the best of them, Okhotnik...

(Brolar, I deleted the introduction to my short story, so no need for positive ratings. )

Do you mind if I use this in my Turkish UAS compilation's update?

that thing will never be operational, to big and heavy drone. It have 20 meter wingspan...

look to ANKA-3

 

[what]

I was not expecting to be on here on a Saturday night, but here we go.

TAI is love.

This is not the real scale, I guess. This is a scale model developed mainly for testing purposes. The final 1:1 scale model has not yet been built. When I first announced this UCAV on this forum, I said it would be the size of a sports plane. Therefore, I think there is no point in making scale comparisons for now.

What is a sports plane?

This was the one I saw (and proportions seem OK to me). Maybe we can expect a bigger version after TEI progresses with their engine projects

[Agha Sher]

Seems to be the size of a sports plane already?

Still it will be not big like Russian drone, we will not have the engine to fly ANKA-3 if it is big like that.

I doubt it, unless we can get our hands on an engine stronger than the one they used on X-47B it'll be smaller than that. This already seems like it has 12-14 meters of wingspan, I think that's the most we're getting. But, of course this is just my speculation.

With all due respect, TAI simply got more important projects at hand. Let Baykar handle the A2A stealth drone.

TAI has more experience baykar has zero to no experience on A2A plus their worksmanship is questionable TAI makes better stuff.

 

[Fuzuli NL]

By the way, I think Türkiye bought the rights for this particular airplane. right?

 

[Manomed The Second]

Baykar believes KE will be superior to F35 in the future. Maybe TAI can help Baykar with some expertise. We need to use TAIs ressources as efficiently as possible to make sure that Anka 3, Hurjet and TF-X becomes successes.

with that engine and questinoable counter measure systems I doubt that Its power output is nothing near F35

Prototype where these relevant parameters will be tested and they can get a base measure for themselves. Not much. The actual prototype is probably still waiting for the engine. It is necessary to wait for a TF-6000 or a foreign turbofan engine. Currently, I don't think it has a powerful enough engine to prove its maturity on a scale-based basis. I don't think the ultimate goal of the project is to fly with a Akbaba under the wing. The scale of UCAV among internal stations will be very small. If there will be no internal station, it means that there is no point in bringing stealth technologies to the fore.
