Update 🚨 KAAN Under Extreme Structural Testing
With a maximum takeoff weight of 34.5 tons, the TAI KAAN is built to withstand forces up to 9 times its mass—around 310 tons of stress during intense maneuvers.
For safety validation, engineers increase loads to 13.5 times its weight, roughly 465 tons.
