The Bayraktar TB3 has increased dimensions, a slightly modified appearance, and folding wings. Thanks to them, the drone will be able to be based on ships. For example, on the Turkish Navy’s flagship aircraft carrier TCG Anadolu. The drone will be powered by a new turbo-diesel aircraft engine. The Bayraktar TB3 will have a maximum takeoff weight of 1450 kg with a payload of 280 kg. The drone can stay in the air for up to 50 hours.
