Very nice. Do you have heard that TAI ordered two test engines from P&W for a 6 ton class UAV ?

No I have not, would you happen to know which P&W engines?

 

[Hurshid Celebi]

Yes. PT 6 - 42 850 shp. 1 Million USD per piece.

would you happen to know

Company officials said their work over the past year and a half to build a high-altitude, long-range (HALE) drone will soon yield results. TAI’s HALE-type UAV will be a 6-ton aircraft.

Bro. The next 2 years will be exciting.
I was shocked Phantom Eye from Boeing with 2 combustion motors from Ford made 822 hours flight.

Turkey goes all in on drones - Al-Monitor: the Pulse of the Middle East

SUMMARY: Ankara is rushing to manufacture unmanned aerial vehicles for economic, political and military reasons, but Turkey needs to develop a drone doctrine and consider the ethical ramifications before their use proliferates.

From a former Military advisor btw.

That guy only writes to the narrative the publishers are looking for, unfortunately. He writes a lot of crap like Bekdil.. Suppose what I'm saying is, be a responsible reader, his credentials should have no bearing.

I have to apologize, I couldn't find the source again that 822 hours endurance were reached.
Maybe it was accumulated time
Maybe I need new glasses if I write and read on mobile.

That's the list, but also very impressive 336 + , Phalcon Eye 100 +

There is no needs for high altitude ballons?
If on the border balloon reachs 120.000 feet altitude, you can watch every motion of your neighbours. Or not?

The Air Force High- Altitude Balloon Program uses scientific helium balloons to provide stratospheric access for research, development, test and evaluation needed by the DoD and other government agencies, as well as DoD-sponsored university and industry projects. The High Altitude Balloon Program is operated by the Air Force Research Laboratory's Space Vehicles Directorate, Integrated Experiments and Evaluation Division. High-altitude balloons are ideal vehicles for space environment qualification; meteorological measurements; optical, infrared, ultraviolet, and radar surveillance; radio and laser communications; and target simulation.

High-altitude balloons are low cost when compared to typical space launch platforms, non-polluting, low vibration, and highly reliable with quick response times, long duration flights, unlimited configurations, near unlimited launch sites, and fully recoverable payloads. Balloon flights take advantage of stable stratospheric wind patterns for trajectory prediction. Flight objectives range from incremental component testing to proof of total system Technology Readiness Levels. Payloads can vary widely in shape and size and can weigh from a few ounces to thousands of pounds.

120bin feet yukarida hava sahasi nasil belirlenir acaba? Dunya duz bir tepsi olsa sorun olmazdi. Ancak dunya yuvarlak, Ornegin yeryuzunden yukari cikildikca gps koordinatlari degisecektir. Suriye sinirina sifir noktadan, hatasiz bir zemin varsayimindan 90 derece aciyla yukari cikilinca,40km yukarda artik sinirin sifir noktasindan uzaklasmis olacagiiz? Gokyuzu nasil paylasiliyor acaba?
Balon konusu ilginc, kimsenin pek umrunda degil gibi.

Hope to see - TIER III RQ-170 Sentinel

Tier III-: High altitude, long endurance low-observable UAV. Same parameters as, and complementary to, the Tier II+ aircraft. The RQ-3 DarkStar was originally intended to fulfill this role before it was "terminated".
Role now filled by RQ-170 Sentinel.

General characteristics

• Crew: 0
• Length: 14 ft 9 in (4.5 m)
• Wingspan: 65 ft 7 in (19.99 m)
• Height: 6 ft (1.8 m) estimated
• Powerplant: 1 × Garrett TFE731 or General Electric TF34 turbofan

Performance

• Service ceiling: 50,000 ft (15,000 m) (estimated)

That design will be the future design for most UAV and UCAV
