TAI hands over the first T625 Gokbey helicopter | News
Turkish Aerospace (TAI) has delivered the first T625 Gokbey helicopter, as part of a launch order of 20 from Ankara for the new medium twin.
In development since 2013, the initial T625 was handed over to the country's Gendarmerie General Command on October 29 in a ceremony attended by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Erdogan said the gendarmerie would receive two of the three Gokbey helicopters from the initial mass production contract by the end of the year.
A total of 20 helicopters are included in this contract, with deliveries until 2026. In addition to the three units intended for the Gendarmerie, customers for the first production batch include the army (7), the air force (4), the security department (3), and the coast guard (3).
Plans for mass production of 57 additional Gokbey helicopters to meet the needs of our Naval Forces Command are underway, Erdogan said.
Deliveries of an air ambulance variant being developed for the Ministry of Health will begin in 2026, it adds.
Planning to purchase an additional 100 T625s is also underway, he says.
While the Gokbey is currently powered by two CTS800 engines from the LHTEC joint venture between Rolls-Royce and Honeywell, domestic supplier Tusas Engine Industries is developing a local alternative, the TS1400.
The first flight of a T625 powered by the 1,400 hp (1,040 kW) engine took place in 2023 and Erdogan says he hopes deliveries of Gokbeys equipped with the TS1400 will begin in 2028.
TAI plans to obtain certification from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency for the helicopter with a maximum take-off mass of 6 t.
The delivery of the first T625 to the gendarmerie took place just days after a terrorist attack on the TAI site in Ankara on October 23, in which five people were killed.
Erdogan dedicated the helicopter to Zahide Guclu Ekici, writing on the fuselage his name, an engineer who worked on the program and who was killed in the attack.
