The new Turkish vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) Bayraktar KALKAN VTOL continues to demonstrate its capabilities. The VTOL successfully completed a mid-range communication test during its 41st flight.
Developed in Türkiye by Baykar, the Bayraktar KALKAN VTOL continues to successfully pass its test flights. Designed for reconnaissance and intelligence missions, the vehicle passed the mid-range communication test during its 41st flight.
Selçuk Bayraktar announced the news via social media. He shared a video of the medium-range communication test moments on his X account. In April, the UAV reached an altitude of 14,500 feet during a VTOL flight test and achieved over 70 hours of successful flight time.
