Aaaand we officially have the ugliest helicopter! Well done for us! :D

It is quite surprising that a company that can produce such an aesthetic product as Kaan produces such a shapeless thing.

This is very impressive, because Apache can only carry 4 Spike NLOS, and those types of long range missiles are pretty much the only way for helicopters to be viable in current battlefield conditions, 24 Spike NLOS equivalent missiles is insane and unmatched by any other platform in the world.

We should evaluate it when it is finished. 😋

I think something very good will come out in the end. After all we have seen, I trust our engineers.

The concave face that extends beyond the main rotor mast (thereby greatly hiding it) is quite interesting. It looks like a humpback from the side, but maybe it helps reduce RCS? I hereby christen thee: T-929 "Quasiroto"

Edit: it seems Bell's 360 does this too. Never noticed it before. Maybe there is a method to TAI's madness...

"According to what i learnt"
Meanwhile Yusuf Akbaba;

I would take him least credible on this matter. He is clearly denying engineers on management position who have spoken few days ago on the matter. They clearly indicated the design will go through changes and this is merely a prototype made to fly. Likely not even a P0.

And people who relies on this information and reposts it here without quoting the source should be careful.

I know requirements of TN and i know naval and land forces versions will have minimal differences. Based on these and what officials have told few days ago we have to expect a lot of changes.

What we are seeing, currently, is a merely dressed power train, equipped with flight systems and approximate weight distribution + preliminary structural design.

It is strange, even the engineers working in these projects do not dare to use future tense.

I expect him to carry kemankeş (30 kg weight). Kemankeş has 360 km max range and a data transfer ability of 100 km (now 50 +, but they will imprıve). So our monster can launch some of them in swarm formation both to look around, search and destroy targets and also guide its long range missiles like kuzgun ky, kuzgun tj and çakır in man in the loop mode. Imagine 4 atak 2 in the air carrying dozens of these missiles and kemankeşs

The flare up wings of the T129 mock-ups and animations now turned straight which look nicer.

Don't forget Alpagut. I guess it can carry 16+. It's 45 kg munition with 11 kg warhead, and 60+ km range.

Why do people find this helicopter ugly, I think it is "ok" looking, not so sexy but still more beautiful than russian trashes. I do expect change in the nose accordingly with a different flir, more advanced may be bigger. It looks like a temporary placement but who knows, if it is the final version than still "ok"

This is just a prototype (which has been rushed for some reason) congratz to TAI.. Future is bright!

AA reporter Göksel Yıldırım reported the opposite.
