ANKA IIIS DEVELOPED BY TURKISH AEROSPACE CONDUCTED A TRIBUTE FLIGHT ON MARCH 18 MARTYRS’ MEMORIAL DAY AND ÇANAKKALE VICTORY

The ANKA III Air-to-Ground Mission Aircraft, developed with national capabilities by Turkish Aerospace, carried out a meaningful flight on the 110th anniversary of March 18 Martyrs’ Memorial Day and Çanakkale Victory, a symbol of the Turkish nation’s struggle for independence. With its two prototypes, ANKA III performed a formation flight as a tribute to the victory, symbolizing national consciousness and power in the skies.

The delta-winged ANKA III, which made its maiden flight on December 28, 2023, took off from Mürted Airfield Command on March 18 as part of its test activities. During a 35-minute flight, the two ANKA III prototypes reached an altitude of 8,000 feet. The flight test successfully completed the first phase of multi-aircraft control from a single ground station, paving the way for future swarm flight operations.

With its low observability, high speed, and superior payload capacity in internal stations, ANKA III continues its test flights, setting a new benchmark in aerial capabilities.
