The PD-170 engine, which was started to be developed by TEI as the power system for domestic UAV systems using national resources, was mounted on the national unmanned aerial vehicle ANKA and carried out its first flight.
Regarding the flight test that was conducted, the Head of the Defense Industry, İsmail Demir, shared a video with his followers on his official Twitter account.
Our domestically produced UAV, ANKA, has completed its first flight with its domestically developed PD-170 engine. I would like to thank the personnel of TUSAŞ, TUSAŞ Engine Industry (TEI), and SSB who worked since last night despite the -10 degree Celsius cold and brought our country independence in yet another field. Congratulations!. pic.twitter.com/tFjH3MxoKT
