TEI have delivered more then 50 T700 engines and the deal with American for the T70 is not going like the signed contracts. So we have a lot of engines and we are not in a hurry. Beside that the certification is not ready. When the certification is ready the order will explode.

Yes, we have many GE T700 series engines. However, we as forumers do not know the details of the contract. We may not be allowed to mount those engines on any platform other than our Skorsky T70 helicopters.

I am also sure that as many engines as the completed T70 were delivered. TEI is not stupid enough to produce engines for helicopters that have not been produced.

These T700s are they produced from scratch in Turkey, or are some parts made in the US, some in Turkey, and then assembled in Turkey?

I've heard that we manufacture most of the GE T700 engine, including the hot sector. Of course we produce under license.
