TTO, which has signed many projects that have made a sound in the robotics sector, is working on
the production of new prototypes while coming to the fore with the Flying Car Project TUSI, the
construction of which started in 2018. The project, developed by Turkish engineers and students,
attracted great attention at the Airtaxi World Congress held in Istanbul. The Flying Car Project,
named after the 13th-century Persian scientist Nasiruddin TUSI, was designed in the vehicle
infrastructure as a front-wheel drive system with 3 wheels and 6 rotors and 6 electric motors.
Afterwards, the number of rotors was reduced to 4 and the number of electric motors increased to 8
in order to increase the carrying capacity. TUSI, which can be used with remote control or internal
pilot control options, can also be adapted to the fields of the defense industry, search and rescue,
agricultural spraying and cargo transportation, apart from personal use.
There is currently a 10-minute flying time, and work continues to extend this time, such as increasing
battery power and reducing body weight. A drone version of TUSI for agricultural spraying is also
included in the targeted studies.
While the Flying Car was exhibited at TUSI 2022 Air taxi World Congress with a special invitation, IGU
was also on the list of congress sponsors. TUSI, which was also exhibited at the 2022 MUSIAD fair,
attracted great attention from visitors. While the AI-supported project of TUSI, targeted as ZIHA,
arouses excitement in the participants, R&D studies continue for the production of new prototypes
and applications in different fields. TUSİ-B was planned as an upgrade version of TUSI; teams from
the University has been formed within the students of IGU.
