Turkish Aerospace Secures Local Certification For Gökbey Helicopter
Turkish Aerospace has successfully obtained type certification for its T625 Gökbey utility helicopter from Turkey’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation. This achievement is a significant milestone for Turkey's first indigenous helicopter program, which began a decade ago. The certification clears the way for the first deliveries to the Turkish Gendarmerie General Command, with an initial batch of three helicopters planned. The approval followed an extensive testing campaign, including more than 900 hours of flight tests and comprehensive structural analysis. The company is now gearing up for serial production of the twin-engine aircraft.
