TEI-PD170offers superior performance compared to its competitors. TEI General Manager Prof. Dr. Mahmut Faruk AKŞİT announced important data about the features of TEI-PD170. He compared TEI-PD170’s data with its competitors.
The ANKA unmanned aerial plane developed by Turkish Aerospace Industries Inc. (TUSAŞ) used the Centurion 2.0 engine produced by the German company Technify Motors. TEI developed the TEI-PD170 turbodiesel aviation engine as a domestic and more powerful version of this engine. TEI-PD170, which powers ANKA, Aksungur and Bayraktar TB3, provides maximum 172 HP produces power. It draws attention with its ability to deliver 170 HP power uninterruptedly up to an altitude of 20,000 feet.

Best in class
The most efficient engine in its class
Since TEI-PD170 produces higher power than its competitors, it may be thought that it is behind its competitors in its class in terms of fuel consumption efficiency. However, contrary to popular belief, TEI-PD170 The most efficient engine in its class It has the feature of being . You can examine the fuel consumption data compared to the power it offers in the table below.
170 HP power at 20,000 ft altitude
In aviation engines, as the altitude increases, the power produced by the engines decreases. Unlike its competitors, TEI-PD170 20.000 feet without loss of power even at high altitudes such as 170 HP manages to deliver power.
You can see the power comparison graph with ANKA’s TEI-PD170 and Technify Centurion 2.0 engine in the tests carried out by TEI. TEI-PD170 compared to Technify Centurion 2.0 at 20,000 feet altitude 43 HP higher power produces.
Why is TEI-PD170 not used in Bayraktar TB2?
Austrian Rotax 912 engine is used in Bayraktar TB2. TEI General Manager Prof. Dr. Mahmut Faruk AKŞİT made the following statement about why TEI-PD170 was not used in Bayraktar TB2:
“Bayraktar TB2s are too small. These engines (TEI-PD170) were developed for UAVs in the approximately 1.5-2 ton class. These engines lift a 2-ton UAV from the earth and raise it to an altitude of 40 thousand feet. Bayraktar TB2s weigh 600 kg. This is like installing a V6 3lt engine into a Sparrow. That sounds big. They (Baykar) use smaller engines.”
Bayraktar TB3 broke the altitude record with TEI-PD170
TEI-PD222ST: 225 horsepower, same size as PD-170
