Bayraktar KIZILELMA successfully completed the first engine integration test
A critical threshold has been passed in the development process of Bayraktar KIZILELMA, which was developed nationally and originally by Baykar and will serve as the first unmanned fighter aircraft of our country. The first Engine Integration Test with Bayraktar KIZILELMA's first prototype was successfully completed. Announcing the development on his official Twitter account, Baykar Technology Leader Selçuk Bayraktar said, “Towards KIZILELMA… Bayraktar KIZILELMA has successfully completed its first engine integration test today.” had used the words.
The testing process of Bayraktar KIZILELMA Unmanned Fighter Plane project, which was developed with Baykar's 20 years of deep technology accumulation and experience, will continue with ground tests.
Landing and take-off capability on short runway ships
Bayraktar KIZILELMA will be a platform that will revolutionize the battlefield with its landing and take-off capability, especially for ships with short runways. Bayraktar KIZILELMA, which has been developed to have the ability to land and take off on short-runway ships such as the TCG Anadolu ship, which Turkey has built and is currently conducting cruise tests, will play an important role in overseas missions thanks to this capability. With this ability, it will take an active role in the protection of the Blue Homeland.
Unlike unmanned aerial vehicles, Bayraktar KIZILELMA, which can perform air-air combat like manned warplanes with aggressive maneuvers, will change the balance on the battlefield with this feature. The unmanned fighter aircraft, which is being developed by Turkish engineers and technicians with the experience gained from Bayraktar TB2 and Bayraktar AKINCI, will also provide effectiveness against air targets with domestic air-air munitions.
