Turkey is ready to create its own helicopter

67
Turkish designers have gained enough experience to create a domestic attack helicopter. According to the portal janes.com, the company Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) announced the start of work on the creation of a combat vehicle called ATAK 2.

To date, TAI is already producing attack helicopters T129 for the Turkish army (the car is a licensed copy of the AW129 Italian helicopter Mangusta, developed in 80-e).



Turkey is ready to create its own helicopter

Computer model of the helicopter ATAK 2.


TAI indicates that ATAK 2 will be bigger and heavier than T129. The weight of the helicopter will be 6 t, while it will have a high level of booking and can carry both artillery and rocket-bomb armament.


Computer model of the helicopter T625.

To reduce the cost of developing a new rotary-wing machine in the TAI plan to use the developments obtained in the design of the helicopter T625. This multi-purpose 10-ton machine with a capacity of up to 20 people will be made for the army in various versions. Despite differences in configurations and purpose, ATAK 2 and T625 helicopters will be developed in parallel, and their elements will be in many ways similar and even interchangeable, reports "Warspot"

            Sanya! Tell me, how can I make a drum from a "truck"? Our KA-50 with such difficulties was born! But then the military "on the ground" asked the pilots to stay on a business trip. It’s a pity I didn’t save an article from the Russian newspaper. They talked about Chechnya and the KA-50.

          It seems that the Turks in the military-industrial complex invite foreigners or pay for the development, and then they introduce it at home. It hurts to develop rapidly: tank, armored personnel carrier, turntable, optics, air defense desire. And it looks like NATO no longer really rely on. Let's see how they go on F-35. hi

        That's a shame.
        By the way, the EU-145,645 is being assembled in Astana. In the United States, this is a replacement for Kayova, a light reconnaissance and attack helicopter, the UH-72 Lakota. Nearly 50 are already there.
        And so there is interest in light attack helicopters.

    their tanks, their helicopters now. maybe not all the components do at home. So all the components at home are only Russia and China are trying to do. the rest are looking for where better.
    This of course has its drawbacks, such as diesel engines for MTU tanks.
    but there are pluses. they choose from the best. they are not going to fight against the whole world, a regional power, so why not take the best?
    it seems like they wanted to cut their own plane, but they will not be pulled. it’s not such a big country and economy. something like flu can no longer be combined.

    The most difficult thing in a helicopter is transmission and engines. This is a separate production from the assembly of the helicopter and there are not so many players in this market - Americans, Europe, the Russian Federation (Ukraine - engines), China ... Nobody will transfer the license for this. And the most interesting thing is that they do not overlap in terms of capacity and productivity ... Accordingly, the choice of supplier depends on the size of the helicopter.

    By the way, the creator of "Ilya Muromets" Sikorsky for some reason preferred to work abroad, rather than pull the strap on his homeland. Apparently he escaped from a good life.

    Yeah, he blasphemed - he should have been better off running to wonderful Azerbaijan and helping Aborigines copulate with donkeys there. Yes

    not an option .. if he helped the local natives here copulate with donkeys, then all sorts of Skifotavs would be born, and then their herbs, shoot, etc.
