Bayraktar TB3 Takes off From TCG ANADOLU LHD

Baykar's Bayraktar TB3 STOL UCAV successfully took off from and landed on TCG ANADOLU (L400) LHD for the first time.
At takeoff, the speed of TCG ANADOLU and the ski jump brought advantage. In the landing phase, the braking system successfully stopped the UCAV slightly at half-length without requiring any arresting gear.


Additionally, the UCAV approached the runway under winds, causing horizontal shifts.
Before the landing on TCG ANADOLU (L 400), night approach tests were performed to validate the automatic landing system.
The flight test from the intended platform, which took place almost a year after the maiden flight from a conventional runway, is a merit of rapid progress in the testing phase.
