Turkish Indigenous Helicopter Program

^ is that supposed to be the same helicopter as this model which is also referred to as the T925?

Again the Turkish Aerospace Industry has come out with a distinctively Turkish rotorcraft design. Assuming a ramp at the back, a functional looking platform that should compete well on the world market in both civil and military markets.
 
Good amount of room in the back. Hope they can keep that as they get into the engineering phase.

I will not be surprised to see Turkish aircraft gain significantly in Central Asia and Afica in the coming years.

That is not a good comparison. AW139 and H160 are overall much better counterparts than Bell 525 and they also happen to be in the same class as T625...

Read the wrong information. Thanks for the correction. That weight class will be more of a challenge to get into the market with those two competitors.
 
We signed a memorandum of understanding with the National Industrial Development Center (NIDC) at the World Defense Show held in Riyadh, witnessed by our President of Defense Industries and the Minister of Industry of Saudi Arabia. We hope it will be beneficial for both countries.

20 firm +112 additional orders for Gökbey:

Defense Industry President Prof. Dr. Haluk Görgün Görgün said that 20 helicopters will be procured in the first phase, including 7 for the Land Forces Command, 4 for the Air Forces Command, 3 for the Gendarmerie General Command, 3 for the Coast Guard Command and 3 for the General Directorate of Security.

Görgün stated that the first GÖKBEY Helicopter will be delivered to the Gendarmerie General Command this year, within the scope of the contract signed in 2022 after the test activities, and said:

"Following the completion of the civil certification activities carried out with the General Directorate of Civil Aviation, we will deliver 3 GÖKBEY Helicopters to meet the ambulance helicopter needs of our Ministry of Health.

In the coming period, we will continue our efforts to supply the remaining 112 GÖKBEY Helicopters that are needed domestically and our initiatives to sell helicopters abroad.

GÖKBEY Helicopter made its first flight in 2023 with the TS1400 engine developed by TEI. "With the TS-1400 engine entering the mass production phase, we plan to continue mass production of the GÖKBEY Helicopter with the domestic engine without slowing down from 2027."
