About Bayraktar AKINCI

AKINCI has a maximum take-off weight of approximately six tonnes and carries up to 1.5 tonnes of payload across internal and external stations. Twin turboprop engines support missions above 24 hours and altitudes reaching 40,000 feet, while satellite communications extend operation beyond direct radio range.

The sensor suite can include electro-optical imaging, AESA radar, signals intelligence and maritime-surveillance payloads. AKINCI carries guided bombs, missiles and stand-off weapons for land and maritime missions, with redundant flight controls and autonomous taxi, take-off, cruise and landing integrated into the aircraft system.
