Turkish Aerospace’s AKSUNGUR unmanned aerial vehicle flew for 41 hours with TEI-PD170, Türkiye's first national turbodiesel aviation engine developed by TEI.
AKSUNGUR, which has a high payload capacity, broke the record for the longest flight time second time. Previous record was 35 hours in last September.
The TEI-PD170 engine also broke another record by crossing the altitude of 30 thousand feet with AKSUNGUR in November 2023.
Turkish Aerospace continues its efforts to develop national projects without slowing down. The national engine TEI-PD170 is successfully used in ANKA, AKSUNGUR and Bayraktar TB3. The export of the national engine to one country has been completed and negotiations with different countries are continuing.
