The TAI ANKA-3 is flying-wing structured stealth unmanned combat aerial vehicle. Anka-3 is the third unmanned aerial vehicle of the TAI Anka unmanned aerial vehicle family.[1]
Development[edit]
The Anka-3 is a new flying wing design and stealth technology UCAV jet engine version of the Anka.[2][3][4] The runway tests of the Anka-3 began in April 2023.[5][6][7] Its maiden flight took place on 28 December 2023.[8][9] The UCAV was airborne for one hour and ten minutes. It has a maximum takeoff weight of 6.5 tonnes, and a payload capacity of 1,200 kg, cruise speed of 250 kn (460 km/h; 290 mph), maximum airspeed of Mach 0.7 (860 km/h; 530 mph), service ceiling of 12,000 m (39,000 ft), maximum ceiling of 40,000 ft (12,000 m). It is able to carry 650 kg (1,430 lb) of ammunition at each of the two stations inside the fuselage, 650 kg (1,430 lb) of ammunition at each of the wing inner stations, and 100 kg (220 lb) of ammunition at each of the outer stations. In this way, the integration of many options can be achieved, from the most commonly used ammunition in today's UAVs to large ammunition such as Roketsan SOM-J, Mk82 and bunker busters.[10]
