T-625 & Turkish Utility Helicopter Programs

[Bismarck]

Somebody's jealous...

No, not really.

 

[Oguzbalasi]

And? It's September 6 and 8:00 AM GMAT+2. There is no news about the first flight.

 

[Hakikat ve Hikmet]

An awesome attempt. Insh-Allah we will collect it with big unit and it will our main utility heli.

Amin...

um.. from what I understand about Pakistans situation is that you're buying arms pretty much on loans alone. So my question is, how are "credit financing" going to help Turkey when we need equity, money flowing into our country ?

I hope of course I am wrong and you're generating enough revenue to buy arms and such only partly through loans.

As for Pak, 350b$ of corruption money is illegally lying in foreign banks!!! Pak government is now all out to get that money back!! And, they are offering 20% commission on that!!! Not a bad proposition for UAE, Swiss banks, Malayasia etch...

Congrats Turkey

 

[Borg]

I suppose some TR basher are very sad today as IT FLIES, it hasn't been postponed etc etc.
Well I can only congratulate to TR, BRAVO!

 

[OguzSenturk]

This is an very big step for Turkish aerospace. Building an existed helicopter up with foreign help is one thing (T-129), building one new helicopter from scratch is another thing (T-625). Afaik ATAK-2 will be built on T-625's transmission system, i hope we will see it flies in 2021-2022.

 

[Test7]

Congratulations to Turkey . But the plan is shaking too much stability need to improve.

 

[Test7]

This was the first flight. In the future we will see more aggressive videos.

 

[cabatli_53]

Congratulations to Turkey . But the plan is shaking too much stability need to improve.

That is the reason test flights are carried out. We will see more complex and difficult missions to be done in trials.

 

[Saithan]

So is it safe to say it's 100% indigenous, from engine to rotor avionics etc. ?

 

[OguzSenturk]

TS1400 engine is not ready yet. But when it's ready, T625 will be %95+ indigenous (there will always be some foreign materials. Window glasses maybe?). All critical parts will be national.
