After performing an autonomous barrel roll on May 31, 2024, Bayraktar TB2 has now broken new ground in global aviation by successfully completing an autonomous spin recovery manoeuvre.AchievementDuring test flights, the Bayraktar TB2 UCAV successfully completed an autonomous spin recovery manoeuvre The aircraft was deliberately put into a spin mid-flight and, using its advanced control algorithms, autonomously recovered from this critical situationreturning safely to stable, level flight.
This manoeuvrewhich no armed unmanned aerial vehicle had successfully performed until nowenables the platform to continue its mission even in the event of a loss of control, significantly enhancing its operational reliability.Autonomous Spin Recovery ManoeuvreA spin is an extremely dangerous aerodynamic condition in which an aircraft suddenly becomes unstable, begins spinning rapidly around its own axis, and loses significant altitude.
During testing, the Bayraktar TB2 UCAV was deliberately put into this condition.
Using its advanced autonomous control algorithms, it successfully recovered from the spin and returned to stable, level flight.
Bayraktar TB2s ability to autonomously recover from a spin highlights the platforms advanced flight control system, cutting-edge maneuvering autonomy, and robust software capabilities.Cutting-Edge Maneuvering AutonomyBayraktar TB2 continues to enhance its autonomous manoeuvering capabilities through its advanced software infrastructure and flight control systems.
On May 31, 2024, it became the first-ever unmanned aerial vehicle to successfully perform an autonomous barrel roll.
Most recently, during test flights, the platform demonstrated its ability to handle loss-of-control scenarios by executing an autonomous spin recovery manoeuvre.
Both maneuvers involved highly challenging flight conditions.
Bayraktar TB2s ability to autonomously manage such scenarios represents a significant advancement in mission continuity and flight safety, while also showcasing the platforms cutting-edge manoeuvering autonomy.Bayraktar TB2T-AIThe new version of Bayraktar TB2Trkiyes first indigenous and originally developed UCAV by Baykaris set to break new ground on the battlefield with its turbo engine and advanced artificial intelligence systems.
Currently undergoing successful flight tests in Kean, the next-generation Bayraktar TB2T-AI will continue to serve as the worlds leading aircraft in its class, thanks to its turbo-powered engine, high speed, superior altitude performance, and intelligent flight capabilities.1 Million Hours in the SkyThe Bayraktar TB2 UCAV has surpassed one million flight hours, becoming the longest-serving indigenous aircraft in the skies.Source: BAYKAR TECH
