Are these engines PD-170 (which, I believe, are locally designed and developed 100% by TEI)?? I heard the guy in the tweet (CTO of Bayraktar) is MIT engineering graduate with his research experience in UAV. What an asset to have for Turkey!

May Allah continue to grant him and Turkey the greatest of successes. Ameen

No. These engines are Motor Sich's AI 450 products. PD-170 engines would be too weak for this UCAV.

Hi. PD-170 is designed for Anka-S by TEI and it is a Turkish design... and PD-222 (an upgraded version of PD-170) will be used in Aksungur UCAV (twin engine Anka with 40 hours Endurance)
AKINCI needs much more power so AKINCI's engines imported from Ukraine (450 hp*2=900 hp)
About Selçuk Bayraktar yes he is graduated from MIT, and he worked on UAV's specialy... here you can look at this video, Selçuk Bayraktar 14 years ago won a tender for mini-uav's and in this video, he is saying ''If Turkish goverment supports us, Turkey can be a drone power in 5 years''

Need to, getting into the big games now. Akinci depending on performance and price could become a big export hit.

Also they are mentioned Unmanned Fighter(MİUS). 36 piece per year is impressive .

I hope MIUS is stealth with internal bays, it could fill the F-35 gap and take a burden from F-16's.

Its great, so 46+46=92 Bayraktar TB2 per year. This means Turkish Army and navy wants to have even more Bayraktar TB-2's... We will have hundreds...
