Translation of Tweet:
Our Presidency of Defense Industries (@DefenseIndustry) our first national helicopter engine TEI-TS1400, which we developed under the auspices of EASA CS-E 740, successfully completed the 6-hour attrition tests conducted in accordance with the requirements of EASA CS-E 740 durability tests 15 times in a row. Following these tests, the ultimate power limits of the TEI-TS1400 engine were tested within the scope of the helicopter's single engine emergency landing (OEI: One Engine Inoperative) scenario. The national engine, which was worn out with hundreds of hours of difficult tests before and after the first flight, reached a power level of 1740 HP and successfully passed the same test in a second repetition. With this historic test, the TEI-TS1400 engine proved that it could provide all the power that the GÖKBEY Helicopter would need under the most difficult conditions.
