I have a question.

From a safety (take off&landing on the runway of TCG Anadolu) point of view, wouldn't it be more appropriate to design the TB-3's wings wider but shorter?
One thing that's on my mind is, why are the wings of TB3, which will also land on the ship, thin? It would be good if there was some information about what was done during the design process. Baykar doesn't give much information on these issues

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspect_ratio_(aeronautics)

In aeronautics, the aspect ratio of a wing is the ratio of its span to its mean chord. It is equal to the square of the wingspan divided by the wing area. Thus, a long, narrow wing has a high aspect ratio, whereas a short, wide wing has a low aspect ratio.[1]

Aspect ratio and other features of the planform are often used to predict the aerodynamic efficiency of a wing because the lift-to-drag ratio increases with aspect ratio, improving the fuel economy in powered airplanes and the gliding angle of sailplanes.

Selçuk Bayraktar:

TB3 performed thousands of virtual takeoff and landings on the Anadolu ship.

And you believe they didn't take those into account while designing and building TB3?
Who would think such a thing? I just wonder what they think. Unlike our other companies, Baykar does not say anything about these issues. It would be good to have some interviews on technical issues. The subject should not come back to issues such as state support, Tusaş, etc.

Edit = I still think that Baykar should have a CEO other than its owners, like in big companies.

Why are they calling it a drone ship? Its a Landing helicopter dock ship
Everyone has been calling it a drone carrier for months and months know, including all our officials. Stop trying to find something to shit on Baykar with for one day ffs. We don't have a plane to fly from it so we are going to use drones, which makes perfect sense btw, hence it is a drone ship.
