Baykar’s domestically developed and nationally produced TM-100 turbojet engine has successfully completed its second test flight—a major step forward in Turkey’s goal to reduce foreign dependency in its defense industry!

Baykar Technology has achieved another significant milestone in line with Turkey’s goals for a self-sufficient defense industry. The aircraft equipped with the fully indigenous TM-100 turbojet engine, developed entirely with local resources, has successfully completed its second test flight.

High Performance, Domestic Power

The TM-100 engine developed by Baykar is designed to replace the Canadian-made Rotax 912 engine previously used in Bayraktar TB2 UAVs. With 100 horsepower, the TM-100 stands out with its effective performance at high altitudes and under challenging conditions.

According to the test results, the aircraft reached an altitude of 23,065 feet—an exceptional achievement in its class.

Reducing Foreign Dependency

With the use of the indigenous engine, an annual saving of 6 million dollars is expected. This is highly significant both economically and in terms of strategic independence.

Mass Production Has Begun

The development phase of the TM-100 engine has been completed, and mass production has commenced. This advancement paves the way for the engine to be used not only in the Bayraktar TB2 but also in more advanced systems like AKINCI and KIZILELMA.

A New Era in Turkey’s Technological Journey

Baykar is continuing its projects not only with turbojet engines but also with turboprop and turbofan engines. In doing so, Turkey moves one step closer to achieving full independence in unmanned aerial vehicle technology.
