Dr.Muhammed Hasan Aslan, Coşkunöz Defense and Aviation Group General Manager Ünver Şahin, Fly BVLOS General Manager Murat Islıoğlu and British Flyby Technology Founder Jon Parker.
With this sales agreement, Turkey realized the sale of a product with high technology added value to the UK for the first time in its history.
“This agreement is a great source of pride for Turkey and us”
Stating that they have achieved an important export success in Turkey in the production of UAVs that require high precision and high technology, Fly BVLOS General Manager Murat Islıoğlu said, “As Fly BVLOS, we transfer our experience and knowledge from the past to the future. We manufacture on drone technologies. We provide flight training on these drones. Our aircraft, named JACKAL, which we manufacture and which has local and national software, can carry a minimum of 15 kg of payload and can fly at a range of 130 kilometers. With this first UAV sale to England, which is at the top in world trade and value-added technology; We are very proud of our company and our country. Our friends have done serious R&D studies for a very long time. They achieved significant success. I would like to thank everyone who contributed to this agreement, which makes us all smile today, from the management staff to the engineers, from the technicians working in the production to the workers, and also to the Rector of GTU, Mr. Muhammed Hasan Aslan and all the university staff for their support.”
Flyby Technology founder Jon Parker stated that the purchased JACKAL UAV was chosen because it is very suitable for trainings with its new generation features and made the following assessment: “As one of the leading brands in drone pilot training, we preferred the JACKAL unmanned aerial vehicle for our trainings because it is the smart operator's. We think this is the system he will buy. You need to train new generation pilots in new generation aircraft. These are long-range flight control systems that carry heavy loads and are different from hobby equipment in the past. We can say that JACKAL is exactly the UAV we are looking for with its features. If you want to change the rules of the game, you have to own the ball! With the difference it will make in training, JACKAL will provide us with the ability to train pilots around the world and grow our business. It will embrace the concept of Drones for Good and will allow us to use the platform in peacekeeping missions and with NGOs.”
All R&D studies of JACKAL, produced by Fly BVLOS Technology, a subsidiary of Coşkunöz Holding, together with Maxwell Innovations, were developed entirely in Dronepark.
JACKAL, which has a special design and local writing, can be used in cargo and logistics service areas in the aviation industry. The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle JACKAL is planned to fly across the ocean in adverse weather conditions. Thanks to its VTOL feature, JACKAL can land and take off in any area without the need for a runway. JACKAL is planned to fly in areas such as humanitarian aid, monitoring and observation, sensitive data logistics in harsh weather conditions and in all kinds of scenarios.
