Here are the ASELSAN made subsystems in Kaan
It ain't ugly!
Out of curiosity, why it is so big?.
Reminds me a bit of the Rooivalk with its incredibly big and flat sides.
It was to have a MTOW of 9 tons but for some reasons (some speculate because of the Navy) they upped it to 11-12 tons.
I wouldn't be surprised if they put in some side doors like the Hind for troops/cargo/ extra fuel/simit etc.
it is large but it ain't that large and spacious, bro.
When I see that picture it clearly look like a testbed and not the final product. Look at that empty volume !
Those are just missing panels for safety and quick response if anything happen
Apart from that, this proto will mainly be used for flight characteristics and systems, we will see other subsystems (DIRCM, EOs, Radar etc) on different prototypes until it enters service
Because it is. It is meant to be an engine+transmission test rig because once they perfect these, they're going to use them on both the T929 attack and the T925 (10t utility) helicopters.
Well that kinda explains why it is that big if its meant to reutilize parts. Kind of like the Mi-24/Mi-8
Not just one. I think phase three is supposed to have twin engines.
