Aksungur can stay in the air for 50 hours. They're operating at 35 feet. The pilot is sleeping, the plane is not sleeping, the pilot is working on the ground.

The National Combat aircraft will be delivered in 2028. F16 engine will be used first. Then we will use our own engine. We use the world's experience. Turkey currently has no limit on the number of technicians. TAI grows its own. There is no limit for engineers. Malaysia is ahead in electronics, we employ Malaysian engineers.
