Bayraktar Akinci is equipped with dual artificial intelligence avionics which supports signal processing, sensor fusion and situational awareness in real-time. It is capable of conducting operations that are being done with fighter jets. It carries electronic support systems, dual satellite communication systems, air to air radar, collision avoidance radar and synthetic aperture radar. Bayraktar Akinci can be used as an air to ground and air to air attack missions as well. It will be equipped with a multifunction AESA Radar system for air to air, synthetic, meteorology estimation.

The Cezeri Flying Car will make a radical change by providing totally Green urban air transport. The Cezeri is being developed to bring a reliable solution to aerial delivery of time-critical packages and medicines in congested urban cities. In addition, the Cezeri can be used in remote areas for search and rescue and for military supply missions. The Flying Car is a totally Green, renewable Urban Air Transport (UAT) concept that offers the alternative of automobiles in urban transportation.
