The Kartal Air engineering team has harvested the ultimate reward of months of rigorous R&D and design operations. During field operations conducted at the runway, the initial takeoff and cruise tests of our brushless electric jet motor (EDF) driven METE S-1 UAV were successfully completed. The advanced autopilot navigation system engaged mid-flight, executing pre-defined mission waypoints with millimeter-level precision and establishing a flawless autonomous profile. This historic flight robustly validated all our engineering calculations in live flight conditions—from aerodynamic washout configurations to V-tail control surface stabilization metrics.
