Turkish Aerospace Industries Inc. (TUSAŞ) on 16.06.2021, our General Manager Prof. Dr. Kemal YÜKSEK, Deputy General Manager V. Özcan BAŞOĞLU, Head of Airworthiness Department V. Murat TOPÇU at the ceremony held with the participation of TAI, which was given the task of developing a unique helicopter within the scope of the vision of increasing the domestic and national capabilities of our country, and the design and test activities of the T625 Gökbey helicopter. The scope of approval, previously granted for fixed-wing aircraft within the scope of the Hürkuş project, was extended to include “Large Rotary Wing Aircraft” and a Design Organization Approval Certificate was given.
TAI first made an application to our General Directorate to expand the scope for large helicopters on 23.03.2016, and as a result of the inspections and meetings held afterwards, type certification activities for Large Helicopters were successfully added to the scope of the Design Organization Approval numbered TR.21J.002.
Speaking at the ceremony, TAI General Manager Prof. Dr. Temel KOTİL said, “Today is a very important day for us. Previously, we had a certification authority for the fixed wing Hürkuş. Now, we have successfully completed another important stage for GÖKBEY, which is our 100% national helicopter from scratch. By strengthening our cooperation with SHGM, we will continue to take all necessary actions for our domestic and national products.” said.
Our General Manager Prof. Dr. Kemal YÜKSEK; “As the General Directorate, we are pleased to take part in such studies to reach our goals. As SHGM, we are two institutions that work in coordination with TAI in such projects. We are happy to give you this authority in terms of Large Rotary Wing Air Vehicles. We are living a special day at the point of achieving goals together. I would like to express my gratitude to the TUSAŞ senior management and employees, and to the personnel of our General Directorate, who contributed to the project for their efforts in producing a safe and airworthy product by performing the necessary controls and inspections in this process.” said.
