As reported by the Hürriyet Daily News on March 10, 2025, the Turkish company Titra is presenting its rotary-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) at Verticon 2025, a vertical aviation conference and trade show in the United States. The event, held in Dallas from March 10 to 13, brings together over 15,000 industry professionals and more than 600 participating companies to showcase developments in helicopters, unmanned aerial systems, and electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.Follow Army Recognition on Google News at this link

Titra, a subsidiary of Pasifik Teknoloji, is exhibiting a model of the Dumrul and a fair model of the Alpin, focusing on logistics applications within the aviation sector. The Dumrul is an electrically powered helicopter with a takeoff weight of 17 to 18 kilograms and a maximum flight duration of 30 minutes. It is designed for short-range surveillance and includes under-mounted weapon systems and integrated imaging capabilities. The Alpin, an unmanned helicopter, has an extended fuel tank providing up to nine hours of flight time and a payload capacity exceeding 200 kilograms, making it applicable for both military and civilian transport operations.
Titra representatives are engaging with international delegations at Verticon to increase platform diversity and global visibility. The company has outlined its approach to expanding its market presence by integrating logistics technologies into UAV systems. Pasifik Teknoloji board member and Titra co-founder, Muhammed Selman Dönmez, stated that the company aims to position itself as a UAV manufacturer in international markets.
Alongside its current UAV models, Titra has previously worked on a project to convert a manned helicopter into an unmanned platform in collaboration with a Belarusian engineering firm. This UAV has a payload capacity of up to 160 kilograms, a range of 800 to 850 kilometers, and an operational altitude exceeding 4,572 meters. It is designed for applications such as logistics, emergency response, and communications relay functions. The company has been working to increase domestic production and has pursued mass production since 2021.
The Alpin is Türkiye’s first domestically produced unmanned helicopter, with autonomous takeoff and landing capabilities, a service ceiling of approximately 21,000 feet, and a control radius of 200 kilometers. It can integrate various payloads, including electro-optical and infrared sensors, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), and communication relays. The UAV is intended for intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, reconnaissance (ISTAR) missions, logistics, and search and rescue operations. It is capable of operating in environments where runways or dedicated launch infrastructure are unavailable.
The Alpin supports multiple operational roles, including agricultural monitoring, environmental assessments, and meteorological studies. Its payload capacity and endurance enable its use in reconnaissance, artillery targeting, and cargo transport to remote areas. The UAV features autonomous navigation, real-time mission planning, and redundant safety mechanisms. It can operate in GNSS-jammed environments and includes an optional parachute system for emergency landings.
The Alpin UAV is powered by a 130-horsepower propulsion system and a 175-liter gasoline tank. It has a maximum speed of approximately 203 km/h and a navigation speed of 107 km/h. The UAV includes safety and operational features such as an identification friend-or-foe system, SATCOM, radar altimeter, and encrypted communication systems. It can conduct beyond-line-of-sight operations, support artillery targeting, provide mobile communication relays, and assist in humanitarian operations in disaster-affected areas.
