The TAI Anka is a family of unmanned aerial vehicles developed by Turkish Aerospace Industries primarily for the Turkish Air Force.

Envisioned in the early 2000s for aerial surveillance and reconnaissance missions, Anka has evolved into a modular platform with synthetic aperture radar, precise weapons, and satellite communication.

The Anka UAV is powered by a diesel engine rated at 155-hp. The propulsion is provided by a three-blade constant-speed propeller. It can fly at an altitude of 30,000 feet (9,200 m) for 24 hours.

The Anka UAV structure is of composite material construction, while some fittings and frames are built using high-strength material to withstand concentrated loads. The fuselage is covered by a mono-block bottom skin.
