戈克塞尔·耶尔迪里姆、卡恩·乌卢和埃米尔·耶尔迪里姆土耳其航空航天工业公司(TAI)的发动机制造子公司TEI总经理向阿 Anadolu 通讯社透露,该公司正准备为TAI的“戈克贝”(Gokbey)直升机和巴伊卡尔(Baykar)的“红苹果”(Kizilelma)无人机交付国产原型发动机。
Goksel Yildirim, Kaan Ulu, and Emir Yildirim Turkish Aerospace Industries’ (TAI) engine-manufacturing subsidiary TEI is preparing to deliver domestically developed prototype engines for TAI’s Gokbey helicopter and Baykar’s Bayraktar Kizilelma unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), the firm’s general manager told Anadolu.
马赫穆特·法鲁克·阿克西特(Mahmut Faruk Aksit)在土耳其航展(TEKNOFEST)东南亚分会场接受采访时表示,“TEI-TS1400”发动机已达到适航成熟度,量产型号已经制造完成。
Mahmut Faruk Aksit, speaking on the sidelines of TEKNOFEST Southeast, said the “TEI-TS1400” engine had reached flight maturity, with mass-production units already manufactured.
土耳其顶级科技、国防和航空展TEKNOFEST的东南部展区于周三在尚勒乌尔法省拉开帷幕,将吸引科技爱好者、年轻投资者和数万名参观者,展期至10月14日。阿纳多卢通讯社是其全球通讯合作伙伴。
Türkiye’s premier technology, defense and aviation event TEKNOFEST’s southeastern leg kicked off Wednesday in the province of Sanliurfa, gathering tech enthusiasts, young investors and thousands of visitors through Oct. 14. Anadolu is its global communications partner.
阿克西特说:“下一个适航取证阶段将使‘戈克贝’能够装备国产发动机,并为客户和军事库存进入量产阶段——这需要时间,我们需要经历许多测试,目前大约有八种不同的发动机正在进行平行测试。”
“The next certification phase will allow the Gokbey to be equipped with the homegrown engine and enter mass production for customers and military inventories -- it takes time and we need to go through many tests, as currently some eight different engines are being subjected to parallel testing,” Aksit said.
他表示,高优先级的“TEI-TF6000”喷气推进发动机也已完成运行测试并达到可飞行状态,计划于今年年底或明年初交付给巴伊卡尔。
He said the high-priority “TEI-TF6000” jet propulsion engine had also completed operational tests and reached flight readiness, with delivery to Baykar planned by the end of this year or early next year.
在这次交付之后,TEI还计划在明年年底前使其更强大的“TEI-TF10000”发动机全面投入运行。
TEI also aims to have its more powerful “TEI-TF10000” engine fully operational before the end of next year following this delivery.
阿克西特指出,十年前该公司的工程和研发(R&D)人员大约只有80人,如今已扩展到近1300名工程师,其工程总人数正接近2000人。
Aksit noted that the firm had expanded its engineering and research and development (R&D) capabilities from roughly 80 personnel a decade ago to nearly 1,300 engineers today, while its total engineering workforce is approaching 2,000.
该组织最近进行了重组,并剥离出一个名为TEITECH的专门实体。这是一个国有部门,将主导战略军事资产的开发,包括土耳其国家战斗机项目和重型直升机的发动机。
The organization has recently restructured and spun off a dedicated entity, TEITECH, a state-owned division that will lead the development of strategic military assets, including engines for Türkiye’s national fighter aircraft project and heavy-class helicopters.
阿克西特表示,TEI正继续推进与一个未公开但技术先进的国家的现有出口合同,同时开始与第二个外国客户进行销售洽谈。
Aksit said TEI continues to work on existing export contracts with an undisclosed but technologically advanced country, while beginning sales talks with a second foreign customer.
他指出,该公司的柴油航空发动机目前已被巴伊拉克塔尔“TB3”、“阿克苏古尔”和“安卡”等无人机平台采用。
He noted that the firm’s diesel aviation engines are currently used by UAVs including the Bayraktar TB3, Aksungur and Anka platforms.
TEI的无人机推进系统最近迎来了累计飞行20,000小时的里程碑,同时该公司今年已交付了100多台无人机发动机。
TEI’s unmanned propulsion systems recently reached a cumulative milestone of 20,000 operational flight hours, while the firm delivered more than 100 drone engines this year.
