Bayraktar TB2 has once again engraved its name in the golden letters of world aviation history.

The Bayraktar TB2, the first armed unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to perform the "autonomous barrel roll" in the history of aviation.

According to the statement made by Baykar, the national UAV Bayraktar TB2, which has achieved many firsts in Turkish aviation history, successfully completed the autonomous barrel roll maneuver during test flights, thus achieving another first in the history of aviation.

Bayraktar TB2, which was cruising in the sky for maneuver tests, wrote its name once again in the history of aviation with this maneuver, which consists of following a spiral orbit and making a full turn around its own axis.

Being the first and only UAV capable of performing this maneuver successfully, Bayraktar TB2 once again demonstrated how advanced its autonomy and aerodynamic capabilities are. The historic moments of Bayraktar TB2 were captured by another Bayraktar TB2 conducting test activities and Bayraktar AKINCI TİHA returning from ammunition firing tests in Konya.

During the test flights, Bayraktar TB2 UAV successfully performed the barrel roll maneuver autonomously for three times.

The barrel roll maneuver, which is an important evasive maneuver for fighter jets, has never been performed by any UAV in the world before.

During the barrel roll maneuver, the aircraft or aerial vehicle follows a spiral route while performing a horizontal corkscrew motion in the sky.
