Teknofest, an aviation, space and technology festival, has been held regularly since 2018. Although it was initially held only in Istanbul, it is now held in different cities every year. He even appeared in Azerbaijan last May. Today is the 6th day of the event. We also take a close look at the activities of YTU Technopark participating in the Teknofest event.
What did YTU Technopark do at the Teknofest event?
shiftdelete.netWith the locally developed equipment, the SEMRUK 5 rocket, which can be managed by field teams up to 10 km, was successful by reaching an altitude of 3 km. It is stated here that there are different criteria in the competition such as flight, payload shooting and landing with parachutes.
We took a close look at Kargu at TEKNOFEST!
We visited STM’s stand at TEKNOFEST held in Samsun this year and saw the innovations on site.
In addition, it is said that a more advanced version will come, in which the contact level of the rocket, which is currently 10 km, is increased to 20 km, and it is aimed to use an engine developed with domestic facilities in this new rocket.
The team that developed the rocket states that they have participated in Teknofest rocket and model satellite competitions and have taken part in many TUBITAK projects, and that the process of hybrid engine development and competitions held in the USA continues.
After that, we took a closer look at a drone. The vertical take-off UAV, called Vortex 1, will be able to extinguish fire when it is operational. The most important feature is that it will have autonomous flight and image processing capabilities. In other words, it will be able to determine the place where it will take the water and leave it.
Afterwards, we took a closer look at the underwater exploration vehicle, which has won many awards such as 2nd place in Turkey and 5th place in the world, and is now in its 10th generation. It is said that all parts of this vehicle, which can provide durability between 15 meters and 50 meters, were developed locally.
Of course, not only that, we also talked with Prototype Workshop Manager Gökhan Aybastı about the support, workshops, projects and first-place electric cars given by Teknopark to the YTU team participating in the Teknofest event.
