I've been brainstorming about how will manned helicopter roadmap will/could develop with the recent developments. I wanted to make an account to share it.
T-625 enters service with LHTEC engines and later with TS1400.
Navalized T-625 in development.
Maybe TS1400 military variant in development for navalized T-625 and T-629.
2024 - TS3000 development starts.
T-629 reprioritized instead of ATAK 2 for next phases of T-129 and export market. T-629 will solve inherent limits of T129.
T-925, new design resembles T-70 and meant to fulfill needs of all military branches compared to the previous design. Similarity with T-70 program will ease development and adoption. I assume it should be using western engines for the prototypes and early production until TS3000 in 2030s.
T-925 ATAK 2 prototype with TV3 engines converted into test-bed aircraft if viable. Used for R&D for next-gen ATAK and other programmes. MUM-T development, system integration/tests etc.
