ANKA payload capacity is increased to 350kg after the integration of PD-170 and a new improved wing design. Improved Anka can carry 2x MAM-T and 6x MAM-L or 2x Aselsan miniature bombs and 2x MAM-L. Aselsan miniature bomb is effective against hard targets like aircraft shelters and battlefield fortifications.

The engine hasn't changed. The new configuration is available with the PD-155. A friend in TUSAŞ said that this performance is possible with material engineering and experience.

Russians are also praising the TB2 drones

putting the great success beside of turkish drones there is also one argument that we should consider when another countries is "praising" our drones:

its also a matter of politics to shift the current doctrine.. to put a danger in front of the people and to start to pull out some resources and efforts to counter it or do the same projects.. weaker countries may try to atract their big brothers to have more efforts in protecting them...

ANKA is aging like a fine wine...

Turkish Aerospace Industries did a Superb job with this Platform

2010 -> ANKA-A

2015 -> ANKA-B

2015 -> ANKA-S

2018 -> ANKA-I

2019 -> ANKA 2

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Engine Options:

-Centurion 2.0
-PD155
-PD170
-PD180ST
-PD222
-PD222ST

> Assuming that 350kg+ Payload figure is for the PD155 Engine a stronger one would make the UAV even more efficient than before.
> ANKA 2 is aiming for 55 Hours airtime. simply put a no brainer for a platform extension.

It is a typo. I'm %100 confident that Ankas are delivered with PD-170s. You cant increase payload capacity by %40(250 to 350kg) with the same engine. PD-155 is still offered as an option though.

If a structural improvement is made that sheds 100kg of weight you automatically will have that much gain in the payload budget. Weight reduction and drag reduction or lift to drag ratio improvement of wings will directly benefit payload capacity. So, 250kg to 350kg is very possible.

if it was engine difference only (170/155)x1500kg(?) =145kg > 100 kg (without other changes)

Engine difference+new wing design(improved lift force). TAI has been improving Anka continuously for over a decade now. I don't think there is much room to reduce weight.

Summary: New wing design plus the integration of the PD-170 engine enabled Anka to carry 350kg payload.

Flight tests have been successfully carried out with nano UAV weighing more than 500 grams containing original propulsion system and flight controller hardware, software and algorithms.

I am too stuck with the details, but the promotion of a newly developed product should not be like this. At least try it with airsoft teams. Advertising is everything in the 21. century..

Any idea about the manufacturer?

Its a good development but its not exactly a "nano".
