Ozdemir Bayraktar, who pioneered Turkey’s drone industry decades ago and inspired millions, has passed away. This is his story
Millions of Turks are in mourning after the passing of Ozdemir Bayraktar, the pioneer of Turkey's indigenous drone program, whose early work paved the way for Turkey's prominence in the global industry today.
He had devoted his life, health, and existence to unmanned aerial vehicles, both on the ground and in front of the computer, living the last 20 years at his workplace for the full independence of Turkey. When he embarked on the journey, Bayraktar only had a single drilling machine but went on to innovate a host of manufacturing and design techniques.
Ozdemir Bayraktar, who took a leading role in Baykar's breakthrough in the development of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle technology, took an active and leading role in the implementation of these projects at every stage from the design, prototype stage to the manufacturing and investment planning.
