A few fit and finish issues(not unexpected for the 1st prototype) to fix for the serial production run once the bugs have all been ironed out from the test flights. Looks great - will fly great and will fight even better.

Dear Deino, if you had waited a few more days, you would have had to write this message after maiden flight.Congratulation on all accounts and I must admit; I totally underestimated this ...sorry and indeed I must admit, I was wrong!

No, already now I need to apologise and admit, I was wrong!
As such I hope you and all other Turkish members accept this. It is really an amazing achievement!

what a deadly looking UCAV
looks very sleek and modern and really 21st century
image a entire squadron of these going in for a attack, they can afford to lose these at a higher ratio against fighter jets and still come out on top
I would like to see a future variant which has a F22 style engine with rectangle shape to give off less IR and also a electronic jamming variant
Well done Turks

Ther are rumors in the internet that it will fly coming days. Lets wait and see....
Tbh i assumed this UAV was gonna be ready not before well into the late 2020s.
Now, its already alive and taxing!! And we are not yet finished 2022. Lord this is astonishing to witness. I kinda believed baykar as a cutting edge and innovative corporation but this blew my mind!

The target for the maiden flight is December. But AKINCI also made its maiden flight a month ahead of schedule.
I think that one of the reasons for today's shares is the leak in the morning hours. When that leak spread very quickly, Baykar and CTO Selçuk Bayraktar started to post hastily on their social media accounts. Normally Baykar's teaser videos include background musics and some edits on the video. In such a historic event, they shared videos shot with phone cameras and a simple drone, one of which was completely silent video.
