Bayraktar DİHA
Bayraktar DİHA is a vertical take-off unmanned aerial vehicle system developed by Baykar Defense and announced for the first time in 2019.

The system, which switches to cruise flight mode after taking off with the electric motors it contains, and can only fly with a fuel engine in cruise flight mode, has three different landing options: vertical landing, landing on the fuselage and parachute landing.
