MKEK-1
The MKEK-1 Gözcü (Turkish - "Observer") was a projected aircraft that was to have provided the Turkish Army with a domestically designed and produced airborne observation post for artillery spotting and general liaison duties.[1] It was the first aircraft design undertaken by MKEK following its acquisition of THK's manufacturing facilities in 1952.[1]

However, the wide availability of the Piper Cub and Super Cub led to the Army's selection of that aircraft instead, and work on the MKEK-1 was abandoned.[1]

gollark: The server's original one is... actually, I forgot.
gollark: Quite impressive, really, although it doesn't do much work.
gollark: The original disk in my server has been running for about 9 years with basically no breaks.
gollark: High failure rate initially as the bad ones initially break, then low, then it goes up again as they begin hitting end of life.
gollark: They follow a bathtub curve IIRC.
