Built for the missions
that cannot fail.
Alates Havacılık designs and manufactures eVTOL UAVs, precision navigation systems, and defence-grade avionics from İzmir, Türkiye — engineered for operators who cannot afford failure.
Built for the missions that cannot fail.
Alates Havacılık (Aerospace) was founded in late 2024 in İzmir, Türkiye on two convictions: that operators who defend borders and protect critical infrastructure deserve unmanned systems engineered without compromise — and that Türkiye should design its own automated air logistics. In one year, we moved from first sketch to operational platforms.

Engineered for contested skies
A complete unmanned ecosystem — from long-range eVTOL platforms to navigation systems that keep flying when GPS and GSM are denied.
Eyes on a 200 km border for 3.5 hours straight.
ALES-2Flagship eVTOL
When your team needs eyes on a 200 km border segment for three and a half hours straight — launched from an unpaved road with no runway, no catapult, no support vehicle — the ALES-2 is already airborne.
- Operational Range200+ km — full-duplex C2 datalink, AES encrypted
- Wingspan3.5 m — NACA 4412 high-lift airfoil, composite structure
- Flight Endurance3.5 hours sustained fixed-wing cruise
- Maximum Takeoff Weight22 kg — airframe + payload + batteries
- Surveillance PayloadDual EO/IR — uncooled thermal gimbal, 30× zoom
- Telemetry LinkIridium BVLOS satellite, encrypted real-time stream
- Launch & RecoveryFull VTOL — vertical takeoff, zero infrastructure
- Flight ComputerALATES FC — proprietary autopilot, triple-redundant IMU
- Primary MissionISR / Defence — border, maritime, pipeline surveillance
Every spec is earned in the air.
Real airframes. Real flights.
From the first hover to autonomous transition — every claim on the spec sheet is earned in the air.
From the workshop to the sky.
