The Turkish word \u201cgok\u201d translates to \u201csky\u201d in English, and \u201cSimsek\u201d to \u201cthunder.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The TAI official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter with the press, said the company wants to develop a supersonic version during later phases of the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The drone in development is expected to have a maximum speed of Mach 0.7 and to make its maiden flight in February 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s being developed to perform fire support and intelligence gathering missions at a high altitude of 50,000-60,000 feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One idea under consideration, the official said, is to use the future system in combined operations <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/unmanned\/2019\/05\/13\/turkish-company-reveals-plans-to-develop-a-supersonic-drone\/\" target=\"_blank\">with the Aksungur<\/a>, the largest UAV manufactured by TAI. The first deliveries of the Aksungur to the Turkish military took place in October 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Aksungur performs long-term surveillance, signals intelligence, maritime patrol and combat missions. It has a wingspan of 24 meters (79 feet) and a payload capacity of 750 kilograms (1,653 pounds). It is equipped with the CIRIT mistsile, developed by state-controlled missile-maker Roketsan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Aksungur could one day launch a smaller version of the drone currently in development, according to the TAI official.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UAV is initially expected to have a maximum speed of Mach 0.7 and to make its
