Baykar Technology has been on the agenda recently with the success of Bayraktar TB2 SİHA and Bayraktar Akıncı TİHA. On the one hand, the work on the folding-wing TB3 developed for the amphibious assault ship TCG Anadolu continues, on the other hand, the Akıncı B, Akıncı C and Kızılelma projects are progressing. According to the post made today, Bayraktar Akıncı made a national altitude record attempt.
Bayraktar Akıncı broke the national altitude record once again!
The national altitude record was broken once again in the climbing attempt carried out by Bayraktar Akıncı today. Having already achieved this record by climbing over 40 thousand feet last March, the aircraft ruled out its own record by climbing up to 45 thousand 118 feet this time.
Let’s say that this level is quite critical. Because even jet planes such as the F-16 can fly at around 40,000 feet in normal cruising, but reach the highest levels of 50 thousand feet. Of course, F-35s can go up to 60 thousand feet, and F-22s can go up to 65 thousand feet. But the turboprop For a powered UAV, this is a really hard level to reach.
Russian UAV used in the Ukraine war fell in Turkey!
Today, an aircraft was found in the Kürtün district of Gümüşhane. So what are the features of this Russian-made Orlan-10 UAV? How did it enter our country?
The record broken today was broken by Akıncı B, the version with 2x 750 horsepower. The previous record of 40 thousand feet also belongs to this model. In the future, a more powerful model with 2x 900 horsepower called Akıncı C will come. Therefore, we can say that the next target is 50,000 feet.
