it's the fourth prototype and they still have no functioning landing gear mechanism to fold them in. they can't push the envelope when the legs are dangling below.

Two years ago, it made its first flight with retracted landing gear. The aircraft underwent structural modifications, and we will soon see flights with retracted landing gear again. GürSavunma will prepare the landing gear. (The company that produces landing gear for TB2 - Akıncı)

Kızılelma has been flying by folding its wheels for a long time, PT4 has just been produced, each produced prototype first flies without the wheels folded, after passing some tests they continue their tests by folding the wheels.

ok I totally forgot about this. so it's been flying two and a half years now without much expansion of the flight envelope. also, in the footage it has no landing gear bay doors for the main gears, much like AKINCI. That needs to change if we're aiming for stealth and supersonic flight.

When BaykarTech realizes that things need to accelerate with Kızılelma, they will speed up everything. They must also see the deficiencies and errors. For acceleration, the companies in their ecosystem also need to provide assistance. PT-6 may need to undergo structural innovations once again.

PT1 - Take-off Weight : 6500kg
PT4 - Take-off Weight : 8500kg

This is my own coded webpage that only runs on my computer.
You should put it on a server. That could be incredibly useful for people who don't wanna dig up hundreds of pages to gather only the official news or substantiated claims. You could list all the platform specific progress, chronologically.

Is that WordPress?
