Aircraft program
High-altitude attack UAS with several hardpoints and 5.5+ ton MTOW, dubbed "the flying fish", also known as Baykar Akinci.
The aircraft as engineered: what it is built from, the systems it flies with, and its configuration — each box a theme.
Technical reference compiled with AI research; a value appears only where two independent research passes and a web fact-check agree. Gaps are deliberate.
