The students of Fahreddin Kerim Gökay Anatolian High School Aviation Club, who represented our country at the SUAS 2025 competition held in the United States, inspired us all with their successful completion of this challenging journey. Not only did they make history as the first high school team from Türkiye to participate in this prestigious organization, but they also became a symbol of vision and courage by surpassing 81 teams from around the world, including finalists from Berkeley, Michigan, Istanbul Technical University, Hacettepe University, Istanbul University, and Yeditepe University.
Our Young Team Earned Awards at SUAS 2025
At Hursan, we were deeply honored to support this young and talented team. Demonstrating technical competence, discipline, team spirit, and exemplary behavior throughout the competition, they were awarded the “Sportsmanship Award”. This award recognized not only their engineering capabilities but also their character and conduct.
In addition to the Sportsmanship Award, our young team also achieved the following remarkable results:
- 1st place among all high school teams worldwide
- 6th place overall in the global rankings
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Doğukan Kırımtayyıf, his wife Burçin Kırımtayyıf, and their son Rüzgar Kırımtayyıf for representing Hursan on-site and supporting the students throughout this meaningful journey. Their presence not only boosted the team’s morale but also served as a source of great inspiration.
With the unmanned aerial vehicle they designed themselves, our young friends took to the skies, taking firm steps toward becoming the engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs, and leaders of tomorrow. As Hursan, we are truly proud to be a part of this journey. The trust we place in our youth and the bond we share with them continue to strengthen our hopes for the future.
The SUAS (Student Unmanned Aerial Systems) 2025 project, in which we proudly supported the Fahreddin Kerim Gökay Anatolian High School Aviation Club, is only the first page in a story powered by belief, determination, knowledge, and dedication. Their success once again proves that these young individuals possess the potential to shape not only today’s world but also the Türkiye of tomorrow.
We sincerely thank the Aviation Club and all supporters and contributors to this outstanding success. May this journey continue with even greater achievements in the years to come.
