TR Attack & Utility Helicopter Programs

[Sanchez]

TEI being partners with GE prevents Türkiye from investing more in TEI. Türkiye can not afford to continue to rely on foreign companies for engine supply. Baykar starting turbine engine manufacturing can bring some changes. They want to make turbofan and turboprop engines. If they go into manufacturing as well as design then it may be a different picture in a 5 year time-frame. TUSAŞ can benefit from the presence of a second manufacturer.

I would like to remind how Türkiye was excluded from the F35 project for questionable reasons to those who want to rely on GE engines.

Turkey trusts TEI to develop Kaan’s engines. Turkey is already relying on GE engines to develop Kaan itself and for turbines on our ships. TEI is directly responsible for our most important engine project, as well as many others, namely the TS1400 re this topic.

That makes TR Motor a nobody in your view while it is wholly owned by TUSAŞ and tasked to develop the Kaan engine.

Before we parted our ways with the F35 we were making the cockpit section of the F35 and its displays but that partnership had evaporated overnight. Who can tell if GE will serve our purposes next year, nobody.

TEI is very important for one thing many of our other companies have not been able to: it has become an indispensable part of GE's and industry's supply chain. That integration has afforded many technologies we would have not been able to easily get otherwise and this still continues to give is some leverage. Taking away TEI would come with great cost to GE, which influences even US politics to a certain extent. More such companies would be beneficial to us.

We also have the confirmation that the ATAK-2 is currently frozen, in priority to the Gokbey and the T925 Utility helicopter. But there’s nothing about the current status of Gokbeys in the article. When will they be delivered ?

At least there will be many commonalities between ATAK 2 and T-925 so we are still going to use the gained experience.

 

[TheInsider]

Helicopters are ready to be delivered tomorrow but there won't be any delivery of Gokbeys without the required EASA certification.

 

[Saithan]

So the question is how is it going with the EASA certification....

Do we know where we're lacking with regards to passing the certification ?

We are lacking nowhere it takes time. Let's assume TAI needs to do 100 tests and EASA can only send experts for 2 tests per month. It will take 50 months.

Does this one have TS-1400 or nah?

"nah"

 

[Saithan]

Still a pretty nice performance.

I do hope we'll see the domestic TS1400 versions very soon. Like yesterday would have been a good time....

 

[Sanchez]

TS1400 is all good and well, but better news would be delivering the first T625s on August 1..

I'm beginning to think our army will get their 1st batch production Altay's before gendarme get their Gökbey

Who we value more, tankers with their M48s or pilots with their Hueys...

No helicopter will be delivered before the EASA certificate is officially awarded which is likely to happen in August but it is not certain.

 

[Sanchez]

Certificates are good things, but Turkey doesn't need an EASA certificate to deliver a Turkish helicopter to a Turkish government agency.
