Comparison between TAI T929 ATAK 2 and Apache AH-64
The TAI T929 ATAK 2 and the Apache are both advanced attack helicopters designed for military operations. These helicopters excel in providing close air support, conducting reconnaissance missions, and engaging enemy objectives precisely.
While the TAI T929 ATAK 2 is a newer entrant into the attack helicopter market, the Apache has established itself as one of the most commonly utilized and battle-tested attack helicopters globally.
In this comparison, we will look at many characteristics of these helicopters, including their performance, weaponry, avionics, and overall capabilities, in order to recognize their similarities and contrasts in performing their intended responsibilities on the battlefield.
TAI T929 ATAK 2
Turkish Aerospace Industries is developing a twin-engine, heavy assault helicopter called the TAI T929 ATAK 2. The helicopter is designed for attack, electronic warfare, and reconnaissance missions in all-weather environments in both day and night conditions. Some of the parts and subsystems created for the T129 and T625 Gökbey helicopter programmes will be used in the Atak 2.
The AH-64 Apache is an aircraft manufactured by Boeing Defence, Space & Security. It is a twin-engine, four-blade rotor helicopter mainly developed for close air support and anti-armour tasks. It has a tandem cockpit design, with the pilot in the back seat and the co-pilot/gunner in the front seat operating the armament systems.
The ATAK II, which made its maiden flight on April 28, 2023, is currently in development. It is projected that the Turkish Army will receive it starting in 2025.
The T929 helicopter is equipped with tandem seats, an asymmetrical weapons bay, a large capacity for ammunition, a low IR signature, a digital cockpit, ballistic protection, better avionics, and the potential to engage in electronic warfare and countermeasure operations.
To improve situational awareness and target acquisition, Apache has sophisticated sensor and avionics systems.
It has a target acquisition and designation sight called the “TADS/PNVS” (Target Acquisition Designation Sight/Pilot Night Vision System), which has the ability to see in the dark and track targets while also providing thermal imaging.
A forward-looking infrared turret installed on the helicopter’s nose will have target-tracking capabilities. The helicopter will also be equipped with electronic defences including heat-seeking missile jamming systems located on the tail and infrared/ultraviolet missile warning sensors.
The heavy-class helicopter can be used for close air support (CAS) operations, armed reconnaissance and surveillance, air-to-air combat, and air-to-ground warfare.
The TAI T929 ATAK 2 and the Apache are both attack helicopters designed for military purposes. Here’s a comparison between the two helicopters.
Armament: The T929 ATAK 2 is equipped with a 20mm chin-mounted cannon, air-to-air missiles, air-to-ground missiles, rockets, and guided munitions. While Apache AH-64E features a 30mm chain gun, air-to-air missiles, air-to-ground missiles, rockets, and other guided munitions.
Engine: T929 ATAK 2 is Powered by two TV3-117 turboshaft engines, each generating 1,864.25 kW (2,500.00 hp) of power. Whereas Apache is Powered by Two General Electric T700-GE-701C turboshaft engines, Each engine produces a maximum takeoff power of 1,890 shaft horsepower (1,410 kW).
MTOW: ATAK 2 has a maximum takeoff weight of 10,000 kg (22,046 lb) and can reach a maximum speed of 318 km/h (198 mph, 172 kn). Whereas Apache has a maximum takeoff weight of 10,433 kg (23,000 lb) and can reach a maximum speed of 293 km/h(182 mph, 158 kn)
cruise speed: ATAK 2 has a cruise speed of 314 km/h (195 mph, 170 kn). And for Apache, it has a cruise speed of 265 km/h(165 mph, 143 kn).
Service Ceiling: ATAK 2 has a service ceiling of 6,096 m (20,000 ft). While Apache has a Service Ceiling of 6,100 m(20,000 ft ).
The T129, which has a maximum cruising speed of 269 km/h, was also created by Turkey in collaboration with Italy AgustaWestland. The helicopter’s standard range is 561 kilometres, while its ferry range is 1,000 kilometres. It can rise at a speed of 14 metres per second.
Although smaller and less capable than the Apache helicopter, combat aircraft cannot compete with it in terms of operations. The T129 has a wheeled landing gear, a two-bladed tail rotor, a five-bladed main rotor, and an aluminium alloy frame.
Apache has a background. The AH-64 Apache helicopter, which was built in 1975 and has undergone a number of minor updates to improve its performance capabilities, is regarded as one of the best attack helicopters in history. This helicopter’s armour is capable of withstanding direct 23 mm bullet impacts. This helicopter’s rotor blades are also built to function well even after damage.
Many aerospace items, including fighter planes and training aircraft, were exclusively created in Turkey. The Turkish Air Force’s newest addition to its product lineup will be the T929 helicopter. After the testing of the T929, we will be able to determine whether it will surpass the fighting capability of the Apache. We cannot yet say which helicopter is the finest. But what is truly impressive are the efforts made by the Turkish aerospace industry.

Aircraft comparisons between the Chinese-built comac C919 and the Boeing 737 max 8
In this post, we’ll compare two narrow-body aircraft, one from the United States (the Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft) and one from China (the Comac C919 aircraft), which was just domestically manufactured.
China is seeking a larger market to supply its aircraft to domestic and foreign customers. Eastern China Airlines has recently received delivery of its first aircraft. With regard to its Boeing 737 segment of aircraft, Boeing already holds the largest market share. Undoubtedly, if the Comac aircraft becomes widely used, Boeing may lose market share in China.
Let’s analyze the specifications of both aircraft.
[adinserter block=”12″]
Boeing B737-8.
The Boeing 737 MAX is the fourth generation of the Boeing 737, a narrow-body airliner manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA), a division of the American company Boeing. The first MAX 8 was delivered in May 2017 to Malindo Air, which began using it on May 22, 2017. A MAX 8 carrying 162 passengers on a 3,000 nautical mile (5,600 km) flight is anticipated to burn 1.8 percent less fuel than an airplane with blended winglets.
Compared to the A320neo, the MAX 8 is heavier at takeoff and has a lower empty weight. During a test flight for Aviation Week, the aircraft was flying at a less-than-ideal height while cruising at a real airspeed of 449 knots (832 km/h) and weighing 140,500 pounds (63,700 kg). The Boeing 737 MAX 8 completed its first flight test in La Paz, Bolivia. The 13,300-foot altitude at El Alto International Airport tested the MAX’s capability to take off and land at high altitudes.
[adinserter block=”13″]
In early 2017, a new B737-8 was valued at $52.85 million, rising to below $54.5 million by mid-2018, and the latest version is having a 200 Seater variant under construction for Ryanair. With a 160-passenger capacity, the 737-8 has so far been the most popular model.
Comac C919
A narrow-body airliner called the Comac C919 was created by the Chinese company Comac, and it had its inaugural flight on May 5, 2017. Not early than 2022 or 2023 is anticipated for the first commercial deliveries of the aircraft to China Eastern Airlines. Comac had 1008 pledges as of the end of August 2018, including 305 firm orders, many of which came from Chinese leasing companies or airlines.
At Shanghai Pudong International Airport, the C919 successfully completed its first pre-delivery flight test. According to Comac, the aircraft successfully finished a three-hour test session on May 14, 2022. This year will see the delivery of the aircraft in the livery of the Chinese company OTT Airlines, a division of China Eastern. The aircraft was listed in May 2022 for 653 million yuan (US$95 million), nearly matching the prices of the Airbus A320neo and Boeing 737 Max rivals and more than double the earlier estimate of US$50 million.
How the Comac C919 similar from the A320 and B737 Max.(Opens in a new browser tab)
The C919 has a lower maximum fuel capacity than the A320 and 737-800, As a result, the normal variant’s range is only 2,200 nm and the extended range variants is 3,000 nm, respectively. Because the C919 was built to accommodate more passengers than the Boeing 737-800 in a standard all-economy configuration, COMAC was able to expand the fuel capacity and, consequently, the range of the aircraft.

Beginning in early 1990, the J-20 program was carried out by the Chengdu Aerospace Corporation in 2008, and on January 11, 2011, it had its first flight. eleven years ago Additionally, this aircraft started operating service in 2017. Currently, Chengdu has produced close to 150 aircraft.
The J-20 is the third operational fifth-generation stealth fighter in the world, following the F-22 and F-35.
An adaptation of that can be found in the J20. The newest model, the J 20S, features thrust vectoring control technology, giving the pilot a major advantage for quick action and aircraft escape from different angles. The newest aircraft also has a Loyal Wingman system that enables the two pilots to cooperate to achieve the goal. In addition to learning the aircraft, a twin-seat configuration may have a few advantages in pilot training and strike missions.

American F 22
The F-22 can fly at sustained supersonic speeds and can reach a maximum height of 10 miles. The “Supercruise” feature of the F-22 allows it to fly faster than Mach 1.5 without utilizing afterburners. The F-22 Raptor can accelerate quickly and perform razor-sharp turns even at high speeds.

The F-22 fighter jet’s weapons are primarily designed to be used against airborne targets. It’s crucial to realize that the pilot is capable of carrying out standoff strikes on targets on the ground. The US F-22’s lethal long-range air-to-air and air-to-ground ordnance is one of its numerous advantages. The stealth technology used by the F-22 fighter allows it to operate practically radar-undetected.
The F-22, a fighter jet of the fifth generation, flew for the first time on September 7, 1997, and made its premiere in 2005. The export of this aircraft was prohibited due to technological confidentiality. Additionally, a costly budget program forced the end of this aircraft’s production in 2011. Although this was the case, Lockheed Martin upgraded their technology to stay up with the most recent fighter jets. Only 195 aircraft had been built up to this point.
