Baykar currently has 4500 employees with an average age of 29 years.
- Last year they invested $250 million in R&D, with the most going to AI R&D.
- Baykar allocated $1 billion for the development of Kizilelma.
- They plan to invest at least $1.5 billion in the next 5 years.
- Production rate of TB2 is 250 per year.
- Start of mass production of TB3 in this year with at least 20 build. Increase to at least 50 build next year.
- They built 12 Akinci last year and this year they plan to build 50.
- Plan to produce at least 12 Kizilelma this year, increase it exponentially (24?) in '25 and produce 48 in '26.
- They really want to produce engines on their own. The share of the TB2 engine was not even 1 % of the total added value so it wasn't necessary. They now developed the BM100 for the TB2. TB2 flies currently 250.000 hours a year which necessitates a need for 200 spare engines per year. They plan to build 20 of these engines this year. After that they'll start mass production.
- They want to produce the engines for the Akinci and Kizilelma in 2 years and 4 years respectively in Turkiye. They started investing in this since last year. In total they plan to invest $300 million for engines in 5 years (of which 1 year has passed).
- They'll continue specializing and investing in drones, satellites and AI.
