IDEALAB, one of the leading innovative technological SME’S in the Turkish defense and aerospace sector, is an R&D company devoloping solutions for sustainable energy generation and propulsion systems. Specializing in the design, prototyping and testing of turbomachinery and turbine systems, the company aims to maximize efficiency by improving energy performance.
The IL-170 turbine was first designed in mid-2017. It was commercially produced in 2019. Its reliability and performance quickly became a benchmark in the sector and the Turkish domestic market. With the developments over time, the IL-170 was launched for special defense applications, large models and experienced operators.
The IL-600, a new generation turbojet engine, is a high-altitude platforms that are on duty or left at this altitude need high altitude launch capability. More can react quickly when more power is demanded The IL-600 generates 600 N of thrust. The IL-600 will be used for high-speed target UAV applications, experimental designed for airplanes and universities. Platform The IL-600 provides 1,500 watts of electrical power, TAI's Şimşek and TÜBİTAK SAGE's Raven is planned to be used on TJ platforms.
A high-performance turbojet engine, the IL-400 stands as the premium solution in IDEALAB’s engine family. The IL-400’s sophisticated architecture integrates comprehensive digital interfaces and real-time monitoring capabilities, ensuring precise operation in challenging environments. With its versatile fuel compatibility and highly efficient fuel consumption rate of 41 g/kN.s, the IL400 exemplifies the next generation of propulsion technology
A sophisticated turbojet engine, the IL-250 is the advanced member of IDEALAB’s engine family. With a robust thrust of 250N, this engine delivers enhanced performance and superior power-to-weight ratio for demanding missions. The IL-250’s optimized design features digital interfaces, telemetry capabilities, and an auto-restart function, making it ideal for advanced mobile platforms requiring precise control.
IDEALAB’s flagship IL-1600 engine represents the pinnacle of IDEALAB’s turbojet engine technology. With its 1600N thrust and 200mm engine diameter, the unrivaled IL-1600 offers unmatched performance for ammunition types over 4 meters and narrow diameter. During operation, it also provides the platform with over 8,000 watts of electrical power to operate the electronic systems.
The WILDGOOSE UAV is a next-generation unmanned aerial platform developed by IDEALAB for TDI, designed to deliver high-speed, long-range, and high-altitude mission capability. Powered by the IDEALAB IL-600N turbojet engine, WILDGOOSE combines advanced aerodynamic design with proven propulsion, enabling operations in complex and contested environments. The platform is optimized for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) as well as target acquisition roles. Its speed and altitude envelope allow rapid transit to mission areas while maintaining survivability against short-range air defense systems. The WILDGOOSE can also be adapted to function as a loitering munition or decoy, expanding its versatility.
