Team

The crew.

It began with four friends from Baykar who worked side by side to the very end, and has grown to 10. Every member owns a real part of the aircraft, across four stations: Mechanical, Avionics, Software, Operations.

  • Kerem Isiktasli

    Kerem Isiktasli

    Team Lead, Mechatronics

    Owns the avionics stack: flight controller integration, navigation and Remote ID, telemetry links, and the wiring that ties the aircraft together.

  • Samet Emre Turan

    Samet Emre Turan

    Electrical & Electronics Engineer

    Works the electrical side of the aircraft: power distribution, battery and harness design, and bench testing of the electronics before they fly.

  • Muhammet Emin Erdagi

    Muhammet Emin Erdagi

How we got to Tulsa.

  1. THE ORIGIN

    Four friends from Baykar

    V-TECH started with four friends who came together from Baykar and kept working side by side to the very end. That first crew set the standard the team still builds to.

  2. THE BENCH

    From a hangar project to a program

    The work grew out of a multirotor hangar project: building, breaking, and rebuilding aircraft until the engineering held. Vuav Tech grew out of that bench.

  3. 2026

    Falx Systems, Inc. stands the team up

    Falx Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation, forms V-TECH as its uncrewed systems team, and the crew expands to ten, with one goal: compete at RoboNation SUAS 2026 with an aircraft that flies its whole mission autonomously.

  4. JULY 2026

    Our own ground control station

    Rather than settling for stock software, the team built a mission-control web GCS from scratch: flight instruments, mission planning, a survey-grid calculator, and the judge display, verified against simulation with an automated test suite.

  5. SUMMER 2026

    Airframe built and flown

    The carbon-fiber X-quad came together: tool-less arms, dual payload bays and a full avionics stack, then autonomous waypoint flights monitored from our own ground station.

  6. SEPTEMBER 14-17, 2026

    SUAS 2026 at Skyway Range, Tulsa, Oklahoma

    The team took the aircraft and the in-house ground station to Tulsa and flew in competition.

Dated build and test entries are kept in the build log.
