Evidence & current status
Flight-test programme. The current table lists 6,500 kg and 40,000 ft, while narrative text and older literature differ. Specifications are targets/configuration claims, not an independent acceptance report.
Role & programme
A flying-wing uncrewed combat-aircraft programme whose first flight took place on 28 December 2023. Public evidence supports continuing flight and mission-system trials.
The current Turkish Aerospace technical table and an older brochure differ in dimensions and ceiling. This profile uses the current table as a clearly identified baseline, rather than combining the highest figure from each publication. The programme’s planned reconnaissance, electronic-warfare and other mission roles are not a declaration that every payload has completed operational qualification.
