Bayraktar Kizilelma
The Baykar Bayraktar Kizilelma is a jet-powered, single-engine, low-observable, carrier-capable unmanned combat aerial vehicle, currently in development by Turkish defence company Baykar. The aircraft is being developed as part of Project MIUS. A future version (Kızılelma-B) will be supersonic.
Baykar CTO Selçuk Bayraktar had initially announced that the Kızılelma was expected to make its maiden flight in 2023, adding that a jet-powered UCAV was a ‘‘12-year-long dream.’‘ However, the Kızılelma was able to complete its first flight ahead of the expected date, on 14 December 2022.
