Alpin: Turkish firm developing first unmanned helicopter of country

The Titra company announced that it will produce 10 Alpins annually, in addition to the 250 kamikaze drones it already produces. "The government will be the buyer upon successful field tests, hoping that, once combat-proven, the system will be exported to friendly countries," an official said.

The Alpin helicopter is a long-range chopper that can be used for military, civilian, and rescue purposes. It is based on the Italian Heli-Sport CH-7 ultralight chopper. The development of the Alpin aircraft dates back to 2019, when Titra signed a deal with UAVOS, a drone specialist with offices in the US, Canada, Spain, and Switzerland. With the deal, Titra and UAVOS have partnered to convert CH-7s into dual-purpose, rotary-wing unmanned aircraft. The Alpin made its first flight in 2020.
