WRONG OBJECTIVE
Turkish Made Attack Helicopter Project ATMACA
Introduction: In Turkey there are no Turkish-made attack helicopters.PROBLEM IS IFF SOFTWARE
In use attack helicopters are USA made AH-1 Cobras and in progress a joint-produce with Italia T-129
attack helicopters
. Unit cost of Ah-1 Cobra is $11.3 million, T-129 is estimate $13.0 million(in development).
Our goal is first %100 Turkish made attack helicopter with logical values.
NO!
Desired Functions and Features of the ATMACA's:
1) Cheaper then Ah-1 and T-129
2) Suitable for the Modern Warfare and Middle East warzone
3) Durable
4) Technological
5) Fast and well armored
Design Criteria: ATMACa is desingn to be four-blade main rotor and four blade tail rotor with two
crew and two engine. ATMAca is armed with a 30-millimeter (1.2 in) M230 Chain Gun carried
between the main landing gear, under the aircraft's forward fuselage.
It has four hardpoints mounted on stub-wing pylons, typically carrying a mixture of AGM-114 Hellfire
and Hydra 70 rocket pods.
The AH-64 also features double- and triple-redundant aircraft systems to improve survivability for
the aircraft and crew in combat, as well as improved crash survivability for the pilots.
Material and Methods:
Materials:
1) Weapon Selection: M230 Chain Gun
AGM-114 Hellfire variants or AIM-92 Stinger
Hydra 70 air-to-ground rockets
2) Powerplant
engine
: 2x equal to General Electric T700-GE-701 and later upgraded to T700-GE-701C
3) Fire Control Radar
4) Design Components: Aluminum %30, Steal %20 titanium %30, other components %20
5) Softwares
Performance test:
After gathering this components we produce a prototype and test this prototype.
These are the datas of Ah-1 Cobra attack helicopter we need to close datas to Ah-1 Cobra's

Hydra 70 2.75 in (70 mm) rockets - 7 rockets mounted in the M260 launcher or 19 rockets in the
M261 launcher[38]
TOW Missiles - 4 or 8 missiles mounted in two-missile launchers on each hardpoint
Conclusion and Discussion:
In the conclusion our project based on the Ah-1 Cobra attack helicopters but more powerfull the
positive things on our helicopters are more powerfull and well equipt then the Ah-1. Negative things
are durability problems caused by components
and software problems.
About the software problems are these:
1) Turkey is unexperinced about software
2) Unefficent terms of tests and simulations
We want to cheap but powerfull attack helicopter and ATMACA will do that
