I thought that too but the paint on the Hürkuş is a primer paint. It might be a new production for export

Yup, then I remembered, Hürkuş-2 wouldn't have a yellow primer paint on it as it's supposed to be an all composite body. Hopefully for export, or one a prototype converted to a chase plane.

Yeah, no. ChatGPT doesn't know things, it's a language model. And it's more steerable than a puppy. I assume you asked "Is a flying wing a technology?" and got that answer.

So you are telling me that you know better than the systems engineering manager of the ANKA 3 project himself?
Watch from 05:45 min please.
And when you at it watch the whole thing please and you will know then what i am talking about.

interview about ANKA 3.

 

[Strong AI]

Anka-3 is a working prototype on its way to be incurred into service in time, of course with changes. But it's not a capability demonstrator or a testbed.

- The purpose of this prototype is to test the flyability (they already tested it with a smaller model)
- There are many countries, who want to develope this drone together with TAI (because it is not a well-known technology and hard to obtain)
- After this prototype, TAI will apply stealth features, like a hidden nozzle, RAM paint, etc.

Well yes, he's the systems manager, giving a dumbed down interview in between his actual job. I watched the thing the day it was released last year.
-
Kaan doesn't have a radar, we don't call it a technology demonstrator. I thought my point was very clear. We have many years ahead of us for a VLO flying wing UCAV. Nothing in the video disputes this.

This is just your opinion and not a fact, like i only wrote about my opinion (but backed it up as you can see)

Time will tell.

She looks awesome. Look at all those protruding antennas and sensors and the LOS antenna. Got years of development ahead of it to be a true very low observable flying wing. Such a hard task at hand.


Really doubt it, they won't use a prototype as a chase plane.

I wouldn't say years tbh. ASELSAN is on prototyping and testing phase for conformal antennas of all kinds

 

[Oublious]

Can someone explain what is that thing sticking out under the drone?

LOS antenna iirc

 

[Oublious]

LOS antenna iirc

ok, they shoudl get rid off with next prototype....

I'm believing they can, pitot design is just as hard tho. Kaan also still uses regular ones. But If NG did it in 80s, we can do it too.

it is of course doable, but necessary? I don't think so. F-35/22, J-20/35, Su-57/75 all use it

Bit late to the party, but everyone give our new X page a follow

[fushkee]

So clean-cut.

 

[TheInsider]

Anka-3 will change similar to Kızılelma prototypes. Engine section will be modified for RCS and antennas will change.

I write a message to ömer erkmen for the motto of anka 3.#First to come First to gone#

1x TOLUN Munition Firing Test

Unmanned warplane ANKA-III made its first flight with ammunition!

I hope those pylons can be ejected once the munition is launched, otherwise it is a really unnecessary hit to its radar signature.

How do you going to eject the FLIR?
