Why no Pakistani helicopter manufacturing/assembling program?

[muse]

Focus on the Turbine engine manufacturing - the helicopter plants will come - but without the infrastructure and know how about the turbine manufacturing, Pakistanis may find themselves with another Deja vu all over again, as everything stops awaiting engine development elsewhere

I am sure it was quite easier for PAC to join in with China over the R&D of 3 to 4 types of Helicopter like:
1. Type of Mi-17
2. Type of AW139
3. Type of Bell-407
4. Z-10 Like Attack one


5. Alouttee III; that can be on our own at PAC.

Z10 will use WZ16 turbo shaft engine with 1500 kilowatt engine output. The engine will be delivered in year 2014, which is a part of joint venture programe between China and France.

No, India is not a super power, are you that much obsessed with India that you have to start this super power BS?

OT: India has produced a very successful helicopter, the Dhruv, which even got the FAA certificate a couple of days ago. And several other models like the LCH, Rudra and a light helicopter are being developed from it.

WZ15/EC175 Sino-France joint venture programme

Looks very neat and slim

One question, can this helo be used for military purpose ? (I am asking because of the European arms embargo)

WZ15/EC175 Sino-France joint venture programme

Specs plz...

 

[帅的一匹]

of course, will be modified for carring marine soldiers or antisubmarine purpose.

China was denied access to HP PT6C-67E turbo shaft engine due to USA interference, so China and France Turbomeca decided to joint design WZ16 turbo shaft engine.

I agree Pk should seriously consider manufacturing helicopters. The program should at-least get started, things workout at the end (even if its after decades). Self reliance as much as possible.

 

[fatman17]

depends on domestic requirement which remains mainly military, so off the shelf is a better option at this point.

Who's gonna pay for it? I agree there should be a heli-program, but there is no money to spend to actually get the program off the ground.
