It can barely lift 150kg ANKA SIGINT

Pakistan extends Turkey’s deadline to deliver T129 helos ANKARA, Turkey — Pakistan has extended the deadline for Turkish Aerospace Industries to deliver 30 T129 helicopter gunships on order, amid U.S. reluctance to grant Turkey technology export licenses. With the American move now seriously...

TR-MOTOR was founded in 2017 so the engine development is still in the early stages. As the development progresses, more engineers will join.

Following the video on google maps, it uses around 400m of the runway. It may be possible with increased engine thrust and ski jump but still difficult. There is also the problem of landing which would require complete rework of the landing gear and development and integration of a STOBAR system...

Since akıncı is a HALE drone, it can carry out operations from Turkish airbases.

Numbers in a conventional war scenario doesn't mean much. Once the command structure breaks down those numbers would be useless. Iraq had a million strong army prior to 2003 invasion yet the US defeated the Iraqi army in a matter of weeks. If Turkey attacks and defeats YPG with full force...

No, I'm talking of the upcoming MIUS project from Baykar.

Logic? They use engines with similar thrust so if Baykar goes for a single engine design, they would have similar performance. Of course Barracuda is a technology demonstrator for larger a design but it's still a good comparison IMO. I was hoping for an engine with at least 40 kN thrust to...

With AI-25 it would be similar to EADS Baracuda in term of performance. I hope it has a stealth design.

I'm talking about fighter jets, there is no way we're launching drones from Anadolu.

We may not need a catapult at all. The plane can launch with a ski jump and land with arresting cable.

The US is working on electromagnetic catapults. Maybe we can start our own development program.

I don't know but since we are not getting F-35B it would be a good investment.

Maybe we can modify Anadolu for catapult launch and arrest cable landing and use it with Mig-29K.

Why did they chose turbojet over turbofan?

First Supersonic UAV Göksungur with Turbojet engine will fly in 2020 http://www.c4defence.com/Gundem/goksungur-2020yi-bekliyor/9145/1

Makes sense since we already have a production line up and running. Having to open a new production line in Italy would increase the cost.

Important question is, will it be produced by TAI or Leonardo.

Is Pulat going to be used in the upcoming operation in Syria?

Specs for Akıncı doesn't seem impressive. MQ-9 has a single 900hp engine but has a higher MTOW, payload capacity and service ceiling. IAI Eitan has 2,700kg payload with a 1200 hp engine.
