General Purpose helicopters are vehicles designed and manufactured to execute multiple tasks. Multi-purpose military helicopters can serve their respective armies in missions such as transportation, medical evacuation, air assault, command and control, ground assault, and soldier transportation. Operationally reconfigurable General Purpose Helicopters, with their ability to perform escape and attack maneuvers, can also contribute operationally to the user. TUSAŞ GÖKBEY General Purpose Helicopter: Tusaş Gökbey is a program initiated to meet the needs of the Turkish Armed Forces and other relevant authorities with an original project and production. 

The project started with a decision made by the Defense Industry Executive Committee on June 15, 2010, and was budgeted and scheduled on January 3, 2013. A contract was signed between Tusaş and the relevant authorities within the same year. Capable of operating effectively and efficiently in diverse and challenging terrains, high altitudes, and extreme temperature conditions, both day and night, Gökbey is entirely produced using national and local resources.

 All the skills, experience, and knowledge gained during the Atak helicopter program, a significant area of expertise for the company, have ensured that the designs and production of vital structures such as structural and avionic systems, engines, and landing gears are also made nationally in the Gökbey project. With a wide range of products, the Gökbey General Purpose Helicopter can support units that are ready for all tasks such as VIP, cargo, search and rescue, offshore transportation, and air ambulance.
