Having selected the firm who will produce the helicopter back in 2011, 3.5 billion dollars budget has been set aside for the TAI (Turkish Aviation and Space Industry) to run the production program. Turkey will produce most of the part locally using own resources.

Electronic components will be manufactured by ASELSAN (National Weapons Industry) Turkey.
The engine to be manufactured under licence (GE) by TEI (Tusaş motor Sanayi) Turkey
The wings, cabin, cockpit and other body components to be manufactured by various factories locallly in Turkey.
Landing gear and engine gearbox to be manufactured by ALP Havacılık Turkey who are experts in gear box engineering.

Production is to start later this year...

Good post/thread BigOz... that's what I like to see! Military inventories and now those of the enemy which I hope you’ll regularly update.

I want to see a lot less about Greece on here and a lot more about Turkey.

First Turkish helicopter on way, analysts skeptical

The government has charged the Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) with building the first Turkish helicopter made by Turkish engineers but analysts are skeptical about costs and time frame...

Industry sources and analysts say that Turkish ambitions to build the country’s first national helicopter may face several hurdles.

One senior TAI engineer voiced suspicion about the certification for the Turkish helicopter. “Honestly, I am not sure how remote we stand from certification or how hard obtaining it would be.”

An Ankara-based defense analyst said the major hurdle could be the engine. “TAI does not have specific plans to overcome the problem about the engine which is not an unusual snag in most Turkish indigenous programs. Apparently, the Turkish helicopter will be dependent on a non-Turkish engine and nobody knows which one would best fit,” he said.

He added: “From a realistic point of view, I would expect a slew of problems regarding costs and timeframe.”

TAI officials hope to fly their own helicopter within five years.

Yes.. it was the F35 Propaganda Programme that was the most amusing.

... 100 F35s "purchased" by Turkiye for the cost of the usual few press releases.

Has it been abandoned yet...???
