Turkey plans drone-heavy roadshow in display of future warfare
From Indonesia to Azerbaijan, Ankara eyes new power projection... Armed drones made the difference in Armenia war of Nagorny Karabak!

ISTANBUL -- A modern remix of Ottoman military music blared as the Turkish Air Force's locally produced F-16 fighter flew in formation with a newly developed indigenous drone -- giving a glimpse of the future warfare that Turkey envisions.

Next, supersonic light fighters drew a crescent and star -- symbols of the national flag -- in the blue skies.

This was the scene at TEKNOFEST, Turkey's Aerospace and Technology Festival, which ended Sunday after a six-day run in Istanbul. The free-of-charge show merged an air show with technology competitions for students in 35 fields, including swarming drones, rocket making and artificial intelligence in health care.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, fresh from a trip to New York for the U.N. General Assembly, attended the event Saturday, speaking to the younger crowd that had gathered to try out the drone-control joysticks.

Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II was just 21 years old when he conquered Constantinople, today's Istanbul, the president said. As his descendants, "Great and powerful Turkey will rise on your shoulders," he reminded them, to loud cheers.

Next year, the event will go international for the first time and be staged in Azerbaijan, Erdogan announced. It will be a fitting venue to showcase Turkey's new drone power. Turkish-provided drones delivered a devastating blow to Armenian tanks during the battle over Nagorno-Karabakh last year, resulting in Azerbaijan retaking the landlocked territory for the first time in decades.

Haluk and Selcuk Bayraktar, the brothers who run Turkish drone maker Baykar, told reporters that many countries including Indonesia and Ukraine had also applied to host the event.

Baykar's armed drones have altered the outcome of military conflicts in Azerbaijan, Libya, Syria and Iraq, either directly used by Turkish military or by states offered the weapon systems by Ankara. They are also exported to more than 10 countries, including Central Asian countries like Turkmenistan.

TEKNOFESTs held abroad are expected to offer an opportunity for Turkey to project its military and civilian tech abroad.

The Bayraktars are treated like rock stars in Turkey today, with hype similar to Tesla CEO Elon Musk in the U.S. At TEKNOFEST, they were swarmed by fans wanting selfies with them.

Younger brother Selcuk Bayraktar is Erdogan's son-in-law. The chief technology officer of Baykar, he is an engineer educated at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology -- one of the top engineering schools in the U.S.

Older brother Haluk Bayraktar is a Columbia University-educated engineer serves as the CEO.

TEKNOFEST was also the showcase for the debut of Baykar's new armed drone Akinci, which is named after Ottoman light cavalry raiders.

The company recently started to mass produce the Akinci for the Turkish military. The new model has 10 times the payload capacity than the TB-2, the mainstay drone of the Azerbaijan-Armenian war, and can be used for weapons, sensors and cameras.

According to Haluk Bayraktar, Akinci is in the same class as the famed U.S. armed drone MQ-9 Reaper, "but better" because of its twin engines and ability to incorporate artificial intelligence.

Turkey says U.S. reluctance to sell drones to Turkey prompted them to develop their own products. Erdogan's decision to acquire Russian S-400 surface to air missile defence systems triggered U.S. sanctions against Turkey, and resulted in kicking Turkey out of the F-35 stealth fighter program.

Absent of the F-35 option to vertically take off and land, Baykar is now developing drones called TB-3 and MIUS that can take off and land from amphibious assault ships.

Turkey is building such drones, partially to substitute F-35s on ships. A separate company is also working on developing a fighter aircraft called TF-X, showing foreign policy choices are complicating defence industry projects.

Enes Teke, a high school student participating in a drone competition at TEKNOFEST, told Nikkei Asia that Selcuk Bayraktar is his local inspiration, while Elon Musk is his global idol. Dreaming to become a mechatronics engineer, Enes said: "The U.S. not providing Turkey armed drones and now canceling deliveries of our F-35 fighter aircrafts is a blessing in disguise, as it pushes Turkey to produce its own military equipment. We have to thank them."

Asked what prompted the Bayraktar brothers to develop drones, Haluk Bayraktar said the trauma after seeing U.S. troops -- NATO allies -- detaining Turkish special forces members in Iraq and putting hoods on their heads in 2003 "affected everything and relevant entities came together and canceled military projects for purchasing UAVs, tanks, helicopters" worth billions of dollars in 2004. That resulted in support for local companies.

"I think that was the breakthrough," Haluk said. The company started to develop drones 20 years ago with seven employees. It now employs 1,500 engineers and technicians.

The country's flag carrier
filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy!

Philippines Airlines will be able to reduce borrowings by $2 billion and slash fleet capacity by 25% after the country's flag carrier filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the US. The airline has been hit by the "unprecedented impact of the global pandemic," according to billionaire and major shareholder Lucio Tan. Prior to the filing, the airline had already laid off a third of its workforce. It'll now also get $505 million in equity and debt financing from Tan, and $150 million of debt financing from new investors.

Yes! In Vietnam! paragliding... And soon... General Aviation ?

Tam Đường Aug 30th '17

Across in France, the oil crisis had arrived. Hang glider pilots were finding travel to the mountainous regions a long and expensive business, while gliding enthusiasts too were hit, as the price of towing increased dramatically. Parisian architect Jean-Marc Geiser realised that if the Rogallo could be effectively motorised, 'hang gliding' from the flatlands would become a reality, and glider pilots too would have an alternative. He sat down at his drawing board in 1974 and chewed over the problem…

What emerged was to become the Motodelta G10: a happy marriage between a Danis 'Delta-Manta' Rogallo and what we would now call a trike unit, although unlike modern trike units this one incorporated a tail boom and fin/rudder assembly. Fitted with a 12 hp flat twin, this assembly first flew in May 1975, without any major problems, and represented a major advance. Constructed from glassfibre, polystyrene, polyester and epoxy, the 'trike unit' was suspended from its wing by a single streamlined mast and did away as far as possible with the spider's web of cables. No trapeze here - instead a single top-mounted stick was attached to the wing, the conventional-control theme being continued by fitting rudder pedals in the normal fixed wing position.

The French Gendarmes authorities were completely disoriented by this sudden apparition, for which they had no applicable regulations and which could land and take-off almost anywhere as Sotteau Fred experienced on a side road of a water barge canal . The bureaucratic logic was inescapable: 'If it isn't a hang-glider - and it can't be, because it has an engine - then it must be a lightplane, and if it's a lightplane the pilot must have a license and the aircraft must be certificated as a homebuilt'. On top of all this, Jean-Marc Geiser is a perfectionist to extremes. A combination of careful development, bureaucratic problems, and a few mishaps, meant that the Motodelta didn't go on sale until 1982 built by CoFreDic SARL of Frederic Sotteau, fully seven years later!

By that time the trike proper was well established and within a few months production ceased, but there is a happy ending to the story, for the design has re-emerged virtually unchanged in Japan thanks to the intervention of Vietnamese Sinh Le that introduced the buyers to Sotteau Fred .

We do not know how much of the Motodelta was due to Geiser's inventiveness and how much he was inspired by others, but certainly he was not the only person thinking along such lines in the early 80s. Almost simultaneously with the Motodelta, Rolland Magallon commercialised the "Mosquito" inspired from the Moto Delta of Jean Marc
