Bayraktar TB3

Bayraktar TB3 is Baykar’s turbodiesel-powered uncrewed aircraft developed for land and short-runway ship operations. Autonomous taxi, take-off, cruise and landing functions are paired with direct and beyond-line-of-sight communications. The airframe carries configurable electro-optical, infrared, radar and other mission equipment.

The programme includes land and marine versions, with a fourteen-metre wingspan and a listed payload capacity of 280 kg. Baykar rates endurance above twenty-four hours for the platform, while the naval version can have a different maximum take-off weight. Its development combines sustained observation with operation from a compact launch-and-landing environment.
