Twin Engine MALE UAV is what we should have done a long time ago. Local Engine is gonna solve another big problem. This will solve many of our problem, Great news.

Most of UAV'S crashes is due to engine failure , having two engines UAV will increase survivability dramatically

It seems they have made a great progress and improved UAV very much since the Turna-Keklik. ANKA looks a very complicated and expensive machine. A missile detection/warning system installed on it would be perfect too.

A nice Chinese concept similar to what is described about Anka-2

are you sure it's flaying ? the UAV was unveiled a month ago

What is the endurance on this thing considering it has two engines to feed.

What is the endurance on this thing considering it has two engines to feed.

Data sheet:
35H Endurance
1ton (2.8t max takeoff)
8000m altitude
20m wigspan
10m long
3.3 high

main usage: Evironmental/topo/police/public use

35H Endurance is impressive. I dont know how they do that, but it's quite a feat.

Since UAV/airplane have to carry same amount of Avionics of its class while having a lot more capacity means twin engines usually have longer endurances.

Actually having two engines usually will give you more endurance , you need to feed two engine instead of one engine , but with two engines you can carry much more fuel

TAI's twin engine Anka won't necessarily look like the Chinese UAV pictured above. I have a feeling it'll most likely have a look like the Indian Rustom-2, except with a V-tail.
