T625 means 6 ton,2 motor 5 pall so what the means of T629

9 is a military/armed designation as Temel Kotil said in the interview.

Not quite sure what happened to TAI's Light Utility Helicopter, but thought I'd refresh everyone's memory that such a project did exist

These T-129 frames would have been inducted into service by now.
ATK-32, ATK-36 and ATK-42

I guess we will have to wait for IDEF 21 to get more information about the new version's specifications..

Btw, About the AVCI Helmet Integrated Cueing System

AVCI Helmet Integrated Cueing System (HICS) is a visor-projected system. It is designed for helicopter platforms to improve the pilot's situational awareness and increase the capabilities of the pilot and aerial vehicle with its night vision, video, symbology, accurate head tracking. Night vision, IR video, navigation and weapon symbology Generation of head tracking information for accurate line of sight cueing and targeting Personalized inner liner for pilot Protection of Pilot's head and face against impact and sharp objects Subassemblies Headgear Unit (assembly of Basic Helmet, Display Module, Head Tracking Module, Connection and Battery Module) Electronics Unit (Symbology generation, video processing and head tracking algorithms) Cockpit Camera Modules (for head tracking) Control Panel (user interface on the platform for adjustments and selections) Technical Features Basic Helmet is composed of lightweight composite materials and individually manufactured inner liner specific to the user. Video, navigation, weapon and platform symbologies and external video (i.e. IR camera, missile seeker) are projected on Pilot's visor. The symbology of the system can be designed according to the platform and user specifications. Hybrid Head Tracking system, which uses both optical and inertial tracking methods, provides easy cockpit installation. Electronic Unit Custom ATR size Symbology Generation Capability Video and Symbology Overlay 2 x Analog Video Inputs 1 x Analog Video Recording Output Redundant MIL-STD-1553 Interface Ethernet and Serial Communication (RS-232/RS-422/RS-485) 28 VDC Operating Power MIL-STD-704 compliant MIL-STD-810 compliant MIL-STD-461 compliant Headgear Personalized, Comfortable and Stable Fit for Pilot's Head Hybrid Head Tracking System Connection and Battery Module Night Vision 40° Circular FOV Impact and Acoustic Protection Clear and Dark Visors

Avci-2 have totally domestic vision system compared to Avci-1 that was using system licenced by Thales.

new genaration ir missiles do not follow lateral flares,only forward flares could be effective against it as seen on the second photo

This based on your opinion?

The relocation of the Chaff dispensers from the rear of the T-129 to the front makes more sense now, thanks for sharing.

Curious if two helicopters can carry one hanging payload. Considering elaborate tasks can be accomplished with the help of AI why not several helicopters carry a single payload holding from several points. Have you guys seen any precedence?

I found the answer that is has at least been done once, just the way I thought. It is not very reliable but is acceptable viable. Two helicopters are separated by a beam on which the payload is attached in whatever configuration. The beam helps keep the helicopters separated. This way two or more smaller helicopters can be used to move heavy loads. Like crashed helicopters from highlands or from water. surface This way probably we don't need very heavy lift helicopters like the chinook for such tasks. Good to know.

This was suggested in Savtera forum too, it looks logical and very cool to simulate motion and the helicopter but it’s not necessary or maybe even dangerous and fatiguing for remote operation. A nice chair with ergonomic console and high resolution surround displays should be enough.

There was a doubt about piloting ability but in my opinion people can adapt to motionless mode and perform better without side effects of motion sickness and vertigo.
