Current status
T625 GÖKBEY is Türkiye’s indigenous multirole utility helicopter developed by Turkish Aerospace.
Serial production and deliveries are underway. Turkish Aerospace has confirmed delivery of the fourth aircraft to the Gendarmerie and a further contract for 57 helicopters powered by the indigenous TEI-TS1400 engine. Those deliveries are planned to begin in 2028 and conclude in 2031, taking the manufacturer’s stated total order book to 83 helicopters.
Why it matters
GÖKBEY establishes a domestic helicopter design-and-production base spanning rotor systems, transmission, avionics, flight controls and increasingly propulsion.
