Istanbul Armenian MP: China developed 3 times more in 10 years and passed Turkey

like it or not its true

Turkey was doing so well then something happened

LOL.. Dont cheers before the egg hatch. Until the day, the Turkish gunship flown with this engine and put into operation status. Then I will believe it. My word still stands. :enjoy: People need to understand, what is testing a prototype vs a certified engine ready for production uses.


Ismail Demir, Turkey’s President of Defense Industries (SSB), stated on January 6 that the Pakistan Army extended its delivery timeline for the T129 attack helicopter by one year.

Development of the Turkish TS1400 turboshaft engine began in February 2017, and according Quwa, it was slated for induction and serial production by 2025.

The egg already hatched as the remaining is only formalities and this suggest that they are ahead of time. It was schedule for production in 2025 and could get it done as soon as 2022-2023

They did the testing on table and not yet intergrate on the real helo for testing... On top of that, u still need to get cert for mass production. You all need to understand what is a prototype vs a certified ready for mass production working engine. If u cant even get this right. Forget about delivered T129K to PA...

Turkish Aerospace to Receive First ATAK-GOKBEY Helo Engine Prototype

Tusaş Engine Industries (TEI) will complete the delivery of domestic TS1400 engine to power ATAK and GÖKBEY rotorcraft, to Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) this month.
Development of the Turkish TS1400 turboshaft engine began in February 2017 under TEI’s Turboshaft Engine Development Project (TEDP). It will power T129 ATAK and GÖKBEY helicopters, and HÜRKUŞ training aircraft.
Although the basic structure of the engine powering the helicopters will be similar, there may be some changes since ATAK is a military attack rotorcraft while GÖKBEY is a civilian chopper. “GÖKBEY is almost non-maneuverable compared to ATAK. This is a situation that affects the internal structure of the engine. A situation that affects many areas from the cooling of the turbine to the pressurization of the bearings, to the compressor inlet of the engine. At the end of the day, we will see two TS1400s, but no doubt there will be two very different TS1400s,” Kadir Doğan, part of the Turkish engine project, was quoted as saying by DefenceTurk.

The GÖKBEY currently flies with the CTS-800A turboshaft engine supplied by Light Helicopter Turbine Engine Company, a joint venture between Honeywell and Rolls-Royce. TS1400 produces 100-150 horsepower more than the U.S.-made engine.
“On 22 October of the current year, we successfully started our engine (TS1400) as a full helicopter engine, including the power turbine, including the power turbine to turn the propeller of the helicopter.… The first prototype of the TS1400 will be delivered to TAI in December,” TEI General Manager and Chairman of the Board Mahmut Faruk AKŞİT said during the CAREER AND PROJECTS AT TEI event.

The engine, which will be driven by 1400 horsepower, is planned to be in serial production in 2024, after eight years of development.
In October, after the engine was fired up for the first time, TEI evaluated and made some modifications.
Talking about the development, Doğan said, “There are many sub-systems such as particle separators, anti-icing systems, cabin pressurization valves and these need to be integrated with certain phases until the final engine. After all these systems are integrated, we will see the final engine.”
Once the development is complete, he said, the engine powering GÖKBEY would require an EASA certification. “It is subject to EASA certification. This can bring about many changes (from military engine version) as certification processes are challenging.”
He added: “There is a certification process called CS-E here. You have to keep everything under control, from the diameter of the dust particles that will enter the engine, to the amount of ice that will form inside, to the amount of Nitrogen-Oxide that the engine will emit. Therefore, all of these subsystems are very important. It will be a tough process, but I think the final engine can be fleshed out next year.”
