We shifted our focus to armoring METE's 3D-printed airframe with high-strength composite layers. Under the expert leadership of Mentor M. Talha ÇİÇEK, who brings 15 years of aircraft structural experience, we implemented Carbon Fiber and Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP/GFRP) application techniques. This phase significantly increased the aircraft's G-force resilience and enhanced its radar-absorbent properties.
