Production phase started in IGU TTO Jet Drone project!

Launched under the coordination of Istanbul Gelisim University (IGU) Technology Transfer Office (TTO) and implemented as a student-oriented initiative, the Jet Drone project has reached an important milestone by moving to the production stage. The project, which progresses in cooperation with academicians, students and industry stakeholders, is being developed with the aim of contributing to domestic and innovative technologies.

Strengthened by the cooperation of academic staff and students

Hüseyin Furkan Çelik, Research Assistant at Istanbul Gelisim University, is the project manager of Jet Drone. Research Assistant Oktay Mayuk and Research Assistant Ziya Atay, who is responsible for analysis processes, are also in charge of design in the project team. Having successfully completed the design process, the team has recently transitioned to the production phase.
During the production phase, an important cooperation was realized with the Ankara-based Volo Composite company, which specializes in the field of composite material technologies. Thanks to this partnership established with the support of Istanbul Gelisim University Rector Prof. Bahri Şahin, the tail wings of the Jet Drone were produced with practical training and production support at the company's facilities. At the same time, the project team actively contributed to the process by receiving comprehensive training on composite production techniques.
 

Towards test flights

Jet Drone continues to be developed under the roof of IGU Technology Transfer Office with its structure based on domestic production. The project, which gained momentum with the technical infrastructure and academic support of the university, aims to move to a new stage with the test flights and performance analyzes to be carried out in the coming period.
 

Strong support for entrepreneurship and technology from IGU

Istanbul Gelisim University continues to support student projects, promote entrepreneurial culture and strengthen university-industry cooperation through its Technology Transfer Office. Such projects, which enable innovative ideas to be realized, contribute directly to both students' gaining practical knowledge and the country's domestic technology moves.
