It was first introduced to technology lovers at TEKNOFEST in 2019 and received great acclaim. flying vehicle Tusi, After the indoor test drives, it was tested in the open area the other day.. Istanbul Gelisim University Mechatronics Department The vehicle developed by its engineers and students was tested at Başakşehir Şehit Erdem Özçelik Stadium.
Speaking about the vehicle, which took its name from the 13th-century Persian scientist Nasiruddin Tusi, R&D engineer Umut UzThe vehicle built on a 6-motor infrastructure 100 kilograms He said that it weighs 80 kilograms and that it can easily travel with a person weighing 80 kilograms. extend the vehicle on land and in the air He added that it was designed to be able to travel.
It charges in 2.5 hours and can stay in the air for 9 minutes:
Umut Uz, who gave detailed information about Tusi, said that the vehicle 30 kilometers stating that it has a flight range “On land, approximately 160 kilometers It has a range, and its infrastructure is assertive in this context. The electric vehicle has a carbon fiber body and flight capability. We have a thrust value of approximately 180 kilos with 6 engines, our batteries are approximately Charges in 2-2.5 hours And behind It can fly for 8-9 minutes” he said.
Uz stated that the flights are currently carried out at around 10 meters. “We currently have test flights. 10 meters It takes place around . When we go above a certain limit, the air wind resistance comes into play. Since it is the first prototype, I can say that it is sufficient for us, we are achieving the results we want.” he said.
'We plan to implement it with various investments'
Uz said that they will advance the project with more investments. “We will achieve this through various investments in the future. can be implemented We are planning to make it into a flying car and we really want to make it travelable with a human being inside our flying car. As you know now Civil Aviation rules Transporting people appropriately is a difficult and troublesome process. That's why we do our tests by placing it in an 80-pound weight.” he said.
Abdülkadir Gayretli, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the university, stated that he was satisfied with the test drives. “As Türkiye in flying car technology holder of power “We will continue to work to be in the position of a country he said.
