ÜM WE BELIEVE TO BE THE INSPIRATION OF ALL WORKS ”
'A flying car was my childhood dream' said İGU Board of Trustees Chairman Abdülkadir Gayretli, "'TUSİ', an invention of Turkish engineers who are open to development, has remote control and central drive features. It is a single-person vehicle that can travel both on land and in the air. It will soon be designed as a double and four-person vehicle. We believe that our flying car, which we aim to use in civil and military aviation, health or cargo transportation, will be a source of inspiration for all studies in this field."

Stating that they, as the board of trustees, always support the Technology Transfer Office (TTO), Abdülkadir Gayretli concluded his speech as follows:
Imiz Our students and engineers are doing very well. Moreover, they do this not only in our engineering departments but also in many departments of our university. The patents we get are equivalent to this. It was very proud of us to join TEKNOFEST with three different vehicles. Our support to everyone who designs or produces beautiful projects is endless. I congratulate everyone who tirelessly provided information on vehicles, participated in competitions and designed these vehicles throughout the fair. ”
NEW MODEL WORKS WILL BE HELD
Engineer Furkan Yılmaz from İGÜ TTO, who gave information about the features of the vehicle, said, de In our flying car project, we will be able to travel safely on both land and air.
