At Baykar, the pioneering force of the National Technology Initiative, we develop indigenous and national high-technology Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) systems and create global impact with proven platforms. With our end-to-end engineering approach from R&D to production, we continue to deliver boundary-pushing projects.

Our unit is an engineering and manufacturing organization with domestic and national production capabilities, responsible for the design, production, testing, and maintenance of advanced engine systems, primarily piston and gas turbine engines.

Since our establishment, we have been developing engine solutions in compliance with national and international standards, guided by the principles of high quality, reliability, and sustainability. Our production activities are carried out with modern manufacturing infrastructure, a highly qualified technical workforce, and a continuous improvement mindset.
