Organized by the Turkish Technology Team Foundation and the Ministry of Industry and Technology, Teknofest takes the lead in the development of Turkey’s national technologies. Teknofest, which was held for the first time in 2018, was held between April 27 and May 1 this year. As Shiftdelete.net team, we participated in Teknofest 2023. Here are the images from Teknofest 2023..
During the 5-day festival, we had the opportunity to see many new technologies. During the festival, we got the latest information about the new TB3 and Hürjet. We were the guests of Selçuk Bayraktar in the organization where we had the opportunity to see our unmanned aircraft Kızılelma and its latest technologies soon.
The USA is left behind: Bayraktar TB3 period has begun!
The first images of Bayraktar TB3 SİHA, developed by Baykar, were shared. It has even been announced that it will be exhibited next month.
Turkey’s unmanned aerial vehicles and Hürjet played the leading roles in the fair, where many new technologies took place. T129 ATAK and ATAK2 helicopters bearing the signature of TAI, TEI, ROKETSAN and ASELSAN also took their place at the festival. At the same time, our flying car CEZERİ was among the vehicles that attracted the most attention at Teknofest 2023.
