"By the end of this year or the beginning of next year, we will have delivered 83 T129 ATAK helicopters."

"We will deliver 3 (T625 Gökbey) helicopters to JGK until the end of 2022. After that, I hope we will deliver a dozen and every year to HvKK."

"The first version of the T929 will use 2 engines of 2,500shp, and the next version will use 2 engines of 3,000shp."

"As TUSAŞ, we want to be one of the first big 7 helicopter companies in the world. I hope we will see it in 2025."

What is HOGE and wht is it so low for ATAK II?

What is HOGE and wht is it so low for ATAK II?

HOGE is Hover Out of Ground Effect.
Atak II's figure is not that low, notice that the other two figures are for 15 Celcius while Atak's figure is for 35 Celcius.
The different test temperatures is because their performance numbers in other temperatures were not available.

 

[Nutuk]

Is that seconds or degrees celsius?

It is not seconds. It is degrees Celcius. High-hot conditions are an extremely important metric for helicopters.

That's right.

So is it better if it is lower or higher?
