Citat:LE BOURGET—Turkish Aerospace has debuted a full-scale mock-up of its proposed T925 11.5-metric-ton heavy rotorcraft here at the Paris Air Show.

Dominating the company’s sizable display here at the Paris Air Show, the T925 forms part of the company’s growing rotorcraft family, which also includes the T625 Gokbey twin-engine utility helicopter and the company’s two attack helicopters: the T129 ATAK, currently operational in Turkey and with export customers; and the T929 ATAK 2, the first prototype of which made its first flight in April.

Turkish Aerospace has been developing its concept for a heavy helicopter for several years. It was previously understood to be largely focused on military requirements, potentially replacing larger helicopters in service with Turkey’s military including its Airbus Cougar and perhaps the Russian-supplied Mi-17s flown by the country’s military police, the Jandarma, however the red scheme in which the aircraft is presented suggests Turkish Aerospace is also seeking a commercial role for the platform.

Commercial missions envisaged for the T929 include passenger transport, offshore energy support, search and rescue, and VIP tasks.

The 20-meter-long, twin-engine rotorcraft will likely lean heavily off Turkish Aerospace’s experience in developing the ATAK 2, and probably use the same dynamic systems and engines. The ATAK 2 prototype is currently using the Motor Sich TV3-117 turboshaft in flight-testing, although Turkish industry plans to develop its own family of indigenous turboshafts to power these aircraft.
