The T625 GÖKBEY Multirole Utility Helicopter, developed by Turkish Aerospace and strengthening Türkiye’s aviation independence, has successfully completed low-altitude cold weather tests under severe winter conditions. One of the most critical phases of the civilian and military certification processes, the cold weather tests, were conducted in the Kiruna region of Sweden.

The T625 GÖKBEY Multirole Utility Helicopter, which made its maiden flight on September 6, 2018, and was named “GÖKBEY” by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on December 12, 2018, has completed yet another challenging phase. Following the delivery of the first three mass-produced GÖKBEY helicopters, the aircraft was sent to Sweden for the required tests in the ongoing civilian and military certification process. Low-altitude cold weather tests were conducted in the Kiruna region. Throughout a month-long test campaign, a significant milestone was achieved in proving GÖKBEY’s resilience in cold climate conditions.
