TR Attack & Utility Helicopter Programs

[Era_shield]

Endurance is 3 hours and VNE is 172kts so if we're conservative and say cruise speed is 140kts, that's a ferry range of 420nm. Therefore, >200nm would refer to the mission radius.

I pretty sure that this is the „operational range“.

As per Mr. Erkan, this could be the mock-up of Ukranian engined version. Since engine intakes are so upfront / close to the helicopter's nose / cockpit. Like the current Atak-2.

Also, those upward engine exhausts are also looking like the latest Atak-2's engine exhaust i think...

Mr Kotil:

"We will deliver Gokbey to the Gendarmerie, then to the Air Force and the Ministry of Health. Gokbey went from Istanbul to Ankara recently"

He’s been saying that for a year. Where are the helicopters?

Mr Kotil:

"We will develop a 3t utility helicopter later. It is child's play for us but First 10t Atak-2 and Utility helo, then 6 ton (T629) attack helicopter"

3 Gökbey will be delivered to Gendarmerie In August

They are stationed at the flightline hangars

Why have they not been delivered yet. Is there a problem with them?

Sertification simply takes a lot of time.

So apparently T925 will be too big for ship hangars and developed for Anadolu. Do we intend to develop Seahawk equivalent or go with the Wildcat route and make navalised T625 to be main helicopter for our ships?

Or alternatively, try to get a license to customize T70's for naval use? (Not Seahawk but our own version)

I feel like 925 could have a variant that's more like seahawk, there was a black mockup a short while ago, while this red one is specifically for fire fighting

It probably depends on the hangar size. Someone should have asked Temel Kotil.

T-625 crossed 15.000 feet. Yet, still no deliveries…

Delays happen and they are to be expected. But saying a helicopter that did not yet take its 15k feet test will be given to gendarme for use, is iffy.

If this bad boy aces its next test (20k ft altitude test) it will be flying higher than the Blackhawks. Its already flying higher than the Seahawks!

 

[uçuyorum]

It might have been talked in IDEF thread but since T925 at least the version we know is too big for our ships and dipping sonar is being built for Gökbey I would really wanna see a concept of it in grey and with those equipment. Anyone good with photoshop ?

T-925 to fly in 2024?

I preferred the older design relative to the current mock up

 

[Sanchez]

Gendarme's 20 T625s will come equipped with MWS, flare launchers, search light and door winch. Some will be equipped with AselFLIR-R400D. First 3 will be designated as T625J EDH and will be 250kgs heavier. Some issues with miniaturizing components? Maybe that's the reason for the delay. Deliveries to be started 2023Q4. Not clear when the delivery of following 17 will start.
