Purpose-built for speed, agility, and competition. DeliFişek is BFL'Y's second autonomous platform — engineered from the ground up to push the limits of what a student-built UAS can achieve at full throttle.
Highlights
Design
DeliFişek's swept-arm geometry isn't aesthetic — it's aerodynamics. Every degree of sweep, every millimeter of motor-to-center distance was computed to minimize drag and maximize rotational inertia at speed.
Software
DeliFişek's autopilot runs a hard real-time loop at 400 Hz. The BFL'Y software team rewrote the inner control loops from scratch to handle the latency demands of high-speed autonomous flight.
Rate Controller
400 Hz PID loop tuned for aggressive maneuver response
Waypoint Engine
Predictive path tracking at high-speed approach angles
Failsafe Core
Multi-layer safety with auto-RTL response under 200 ms
Telemetry
MAVLink 2.0 · 50 Hz state broadcast to GCS

Details
The 15-degree swept arm geometry pushes each motor outward for higher rotational authority while keeping the frontal cross-section below 180 cm. The full frame tips the scale at 380 g in 3K twill carbon fiber.
Four 2207 2750KV motors paired with 4-inch tri-blade props generate 3.2 kg total static thrust — a 2.9:1 thrust-to-weight ratio that enables near-vertical acceleration from a standing start.
A two-board stack carries the BFL'Y custom FC running ChibiOS at the bottom and a companion Raspberry Pi Zero 2W for mission logic at the top. Total stack height: 18 mm — thinner than a pencil.
A CNC-machined aluminum cradle locks the 400 g payload in under 3 seconds via a quarter-turn latch. Electrical passthrough contacts allow powered payloads with no external wiring.
A 4S 3300 mAh 120C-rated LiPo sits inside a crash-protected carbon sleeve. A dedicated 5V/3A BEC keeps avionics isolated from motor noise during high-throttle bursts.
DeliFişek — Turkish for "wild fuse" — is the BFL'Y team's second autonomous UAS and a deliberate departure from their first vehicle. Where SkyWipe was built for precision and endurance, DeliFişek was engineered around a singular obsession: speed. At 120 km/h with a sub-1.1 kg airframe, it is the fastest autonomous platform ever produced by the BFL'Y programme.
Designed in parallel with the team's second competition season, DeliFişek incorporates lessons learned from two full years of field testing. Its airframe, avionics, and autopilot firmware are entirely student-developed. The modular payload architecture allows rapid mission reconfiguration between competition tasks — from precision delivery to autonomous waypoint racing — in under 60 seconds on the flight line.
