Unleashing innovation: Anka-3 project's quest for excellence

The flying wing or delta wing design features a sleek fuselage, tailless structure, and low radar visibility. The concept of the flying wing originated in Germany during World War II and has since been explored by many countries. Turkey's involvement in the flying wing dates back even further, with the production of the THK-13 glider in 1948 at the Turkish Aeronautical Association aircraft factory, which stands as one of the earliest examples of a flying wing worldwide.

In the early 2000s, Türkiye participated in a similar project led by France; however, the workload was not allocated to Türkiye. In response to this setback, Ankara embarked on its own project that aimed to challenge the "best" in the field. The project was named ANKA-3, highlighting the key advantage of the delta wing design—radar invisibility.
