Offering a national and indigenous solution to Türkiye’s utility helicopter requirement, GÖKBEY stands out in both military and civilian missions with its 6-ton class performance and locally developed subsystems. Powered by the indigenous TEI-TS1400 turboshaft engines, GÖKBEY significantly reduces foreign dependency while delivering reliable operational capability in high-altitude and hot-weather conditions. Its broad mission spectrum—ranging from personnel and cargo transport to search and rescue, air ambulance, and VIP transport—is supported by a capacity of 2 crew members plus 12 personnel.

The helicopter is equipped with a digital glass cockpit developed by ASELSAN, integrated mission computers, and advanced avionics capable of all-weather, day-and-night operations, providing pilots with a modern, safe, and high situational awareness flight environment. The dual-redundant system architecture and robust airframe design maximize mission continuity, while the five-bladed main rotor with a low acoustic signature enhances operational discretion. With extended endurance and long-range capability, GÖKBEY represents a highly competitive platform in its class and a powerful signature of Turkish engineering in the skies.
