Bayraktar VTOL UAV
Bayraktar Vertical Landing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (DIHA) is a Mini Tactical UAV class aircraft capable of carrying out activities for reconnaissance and intelligence missions.
The vehicle is capable of automatic cruise, autonomous take-off, autonomous landing and semi-autonomous cruise flight. Bayraktar DIHA, after taking off with electric motors, will switch to cruise flight mode and only fuel engine is going to be active in cruise flight mode. There are three options for landing: vertical landing, landing on fuselage and parachute landing. The aircraft has a flight control system that can perform automatic route tracking, target tracking, circling and return-to-home modes.
