T129

The T129 is a formidable, new, highly powerful and capable all-weather day and night multi-role attack helicopter, based on the combat-proven A129, developed by TAI (Turkish Aerospace Industries), Helicopter Division and Aselsan for Turkey and other export markets, designed to meet the demanding operational requirements of the 21st Century battlefield.

The T129 benefits from the best power-to-weight ratio in its class, with unrivalled performance even in ‘hot and high’ conditions, ensuring that power is available in combat manoeuvres and emergencies.

Pilots benefit from excellent situational awareness through superior pilot / co-pilot-gunner stations man-machine-interface, with optimal CRM which minimises workload and fully integrated, open-architecture mission systems.

Inherent battlefield survivability, with low visual, acoustic, IR and radar signaturem extensive Defence Aid Suite, self-protection and segregation/redundancy of vital components ensure the highest levels of safety.

Integrated logistics, derived from the demonstrated A129 maintenance plan, assure reliability and maintainability and provide a comprehensive supportability plan.
