Abstract
The new technologies and designs on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have created a new market which made it possible for many countries to compete by penetrating and dominating the market. The new advances in computer and material science enhanced data link capabilities; developments in sensor technologies and the component miniaturization are the main factors which strengthen the UAV capabilities and accelerate their usage. The UAV applications which become diversified each passing day, have also been leading up to new projects on commercial air transportation in terms of design and areas of usage. In this framework, UAVs become a valuable instrument for development and testing of new fuel and propulsion systems which are one of the concerns of sustainable aviation . The aim of this study is first to explore the historical development of UAVs in the world, second to investigate the main UAV projects proceeded by Turkey and finally to reveal the future targets and the status of Turkey among the countries securing enhanced UAV experience.
