Baykar, developed by the Turkish company Bayraktar Kizilelma, has successfully undergone identification testing of the aerodynamic system, which is part of the flight test program.
According to Baykar, testing Bayraktar Kizilelma continues in accordance with the planned schedule.
Identification testing of the aerodynamic system took place on Thursday, March 6, the company specified.
As follows from the message, PT3 is the Bayraktar Kizilelma production prototype with TC-ZB3 tail number, which took off from the AKInci training center in the Chorlu Tekirdag Province in the North-West of Turkey, successfully completed aerodynamic testing as part of the test flight.
, within the framework of efforts to improve the characteristics of Bayraktar Kizilelma, significant changes were made to the production prototype, taking into account the experience gained when creating the first prototypes, an aircraft car of the combat vehicle was improved.
The flight was performed using an alternative fox engine successfully integrated into the UAV. Bayraktar Kizilelma, thanks to the new powerful engine, will approach the speed of sound and will be able to much better maneuver at high speeds due to aerodynamic improvements.
And thanks to the high situational awareness achieved using the radar with AESA, the device will be able to perform the most difficult tasks
The Bayraktar Kizilelma project has been developed since 2021, the TC-EZB on the on-board number has left the conveyor on November 14, 2022 and exactly a month later, he first rose into the air.
Thus, Bayraktar Kizilelma soared into the sky in a record short time.
At the world’s largest aviation, astronautics and technology festival (Teknofest) in Istanbul in 2023, Bayraktar Kizilelma demonstrated outstanding flight characteristics that were included in the world history.
May 1, 2023, the Turkish unmanned military aircraft Bayraktar Kızılelma made a joint flight with piloted aircraft from the Solo Türk and Türk Yıldızları.
pilot groups.
These flight concepts that have become a turning point in the history of world aviation will also form the nature of the air battles of the future.
BAYRAKTAR Kızılelma UAVs, as well as the Bayraktar TB3 shock UAVs are able to use short runways, including station, TCG Anadolu.
Bayraktar kızılelma test flights from the TCG Anadolu side are scheduled for 2025. Unmanned Turkish Development Aircraft develops a speed of 630 km/h. The device weighing up to 8.5 tons is able to carry a load of 1.5 tons. The plane can perform operations in autonomous mode.
